Dear editor,

I am a resident of Adrogue. I heard the incidents of robbery have been rising. In my opinion, the responsibility to prevent crime is from the gobernment and police officers. That is to say, they should do more things to prevent crime.

There are many things they could do. I fully agree that responding to crime quickly would prevent many crimes. I also fully support installing cameras on the streets, preventing car theft. I am in agreement with organising conferences. That is to teach citizens how to protect their homes, tell them to have alarms and sensors, get railings, avoid taking out the garbage at night, avoid talking to strangers an organize groups of neighbous to prevent burglaries. I don't agree with hiring patrols on foot and cars because there are patrols already in the streets but the crime continues rising.
Finaly I believe there are many posible ways of reducing crimes rate and thatthey should be done.
Sincerely,
Cate.

Review: Oh Romeo Oh Romeo!

OH ROMEO OH ROMEO!

In my opinion the play was very interesting and understandable, consequently i liked it. In particular i loved the idea of miting shakes peare's characters from different stories. Personally, i believe the writers thought about the audience, especially in making it funny, when writing the script.

What's more, it is a very good idea to make Romeo selfish and self centered and on the other hand making Juliet disgusting and as a result her parents desperate. From the artistic point of view the props and notably the costumes were perfect and well done.

I don't agree with the length of the video, i think it was vey long although that made ir successful. Alternatively, miting items from the present with tha past was a very good idea. Finally, all their effort made the play successful, as they won the first prize

Informal email

In the language class we saw how to write an informal email and made a summary:




Hi Tom!

I'm well, thanks. I have been really busy, I have a lot of work to do. I didn't write to you before because I had to do and essay.

I suggest you to add a section with information about famous people that make silly things. But you can also add a section about weird animals from different countries including yours.

I would like to do it, I think it's going to be fun. I recomend you to make it colorful and cheerful.People will like your blog if you keep titles atractive and short.

The best place to buy a good printer is next to my house, they have any type and with an affordable price, you'll love it.

kisses,
Cate

Writing a short story

In the class we were asked to write a story so as to show the theory we learnt. We were asked to use and underline:

• Five connectors
• Three sequence markers (first, then...)
• Two examples of direct speech

Mark couldn't believe his good luck, After two years of waiting he obtained the scholarship abroad he always wanted. What's more his father agreed to pay for the plane he had to take to get there, he was leaving the following day.

-Are you sure this is what you want for your life?- his father told him -Be away from your family?-

Mark was very sure, however, he was obviously going to miss his family. After telling his parents, he started to pack all the things he was going to need, even though most of the things were just books, then he had a shower. Finally he had dinner with his parents, during dinner they spoke about Mark's trip.
-We are going to miss you Mark. We really wish you have a nice time- Said his mother almost crying.
Mark spent the whole dinner trying to calm down his mother, however this was imposible.
The following day he woke up very early to catch the plane. He went to the airport with his parents, who were almost crying, Especially when he got on the plane and the plane started. When he landed, Mark couldn't stop thinking about his family and friend who were far away.
