The person I admire
One person I really admire is Madonna. Born into a large Italian family, she first trained as a dancer. Today, she is best known for her success as a pop star, actress and producer. She has had more number one singles than any other female singer and she has won numerous awards for her work. She travels a lot, working in the USA and the UK and also finds time to do charity work and be a mother! Madonna continues to be successful because of her ability to recreate her image. She is an important role model for teenagers. She keeps trying new things and never gives up. I would like to live such a full life as Madonna. She is an inspiration!
A letter about finishing school and your plans
Dear Pete, It’ s always good to hear from you. I see you’ re as glad as I am to be finishing school. It’ s been a tough year but it’ s all over now! You can imagine how I felt as the school bell rang on the last day. That night we all went out and celebrated. I’ ll miss some of my friends but now I’ ve got the time to do some of the things I always wanted to do. Next year, I’ m going to university. I am studying Italian so my holiday is hopefully going to be in Rome. I can’ t wait to walk those historic streets and speak to the locals. How was your brother ' s graduation? Your parents must be so proud. What did he graduate from? What are his plans now? Hope to hear from you soon. Take care. Samantha
Without mysteries, life would be very dull indeed.
I agree with the quotation that mysteries keep us alive and in search of knowledge. Mysteries make life interesting and more exciting. I would not want to know everything that has happened as it is sometime fun using you imagination to understand what happened.
Describing the location of your house
My house is located to the right of a very nice green park that curves around the back of my house. The street in front of my house rises upwards to the top of a hill where it ends with a great view as far as the eye can see of the surrounding rivers valley and the flowing river below. There is a bike path behind my house that leads to the river valley and all around my neighbourhood.
Learning about the customs of a country
I think it is really important to learn about the customs of the country you are visiting because then you know how to behave there. People will think you are more polite and considerate if you take the trouble to learn about their culture. I would hate to offend someone just because I didn’ t know their customs, but that would be so easy to do.
