Dear Victoria!

This is a short note to ask you if you could come to dinner tonight. It will be very nice if you will join us. Please bring a bottle of wine. We would like to meet you to our little party. We are really looking forward to see you.

Love: 2 Alex and Ammar.

We shouldn t talk like this about Brasil.

I studied with other friends in Victoria s class. I just enjoy Australia but I wouldnt say bad things about my country. I know we have many problems as a poor country, but to be a brasilian makes me proud. Its my country. Say good things about your country. We have good things runnig here and i Know many conutries, like England, Usa, France, Argentina, and others and every body defend their homes. Do the same. It will make you great. Your store about your car shows your good english, but you dont need to publish a so bad notice about our Brasil. Excuse me if a told some trues. And ask people from Corea, Japan, etc if they publish out of their country a notice like yours about Brasil. Bad, Bad. That s like i am feeling about. Hugs to every body a knew in Australia, (Sidney, Cairns, ....). By Rodrigo.

Traffic Lights - By ALEX

This plot is based in real facts and it happened with me.

One day like any day, it was 5am on Monday and my alarm clock rang again. It was a new day coming, my head hurt a bit, maybe because it was that hangover again, I´d been partying all weekend. Anyway, I supposed everything were all right, “wake up, loo, shower, dress up, coffee”, and they really were, except for the coffee that I took in my home instead of take it away.

Fortunately I had a car in Brazil although it was very expensive to keep it, I used to work too far, i needed it. Before I´d gone to servo and put some petrol so I took my way to job. During my trip I´d stopped in a crossing, the traffic light was red when I turned the radio up and suddenly my window was smashed by a shot. It was a mugger attempting to grab my car. I was so horrified about it that I leapt to the passenger sit and leaved the car as fast as I could.

The mugger was about my age and unfortunately he stole my car, but in the other hand I was alive, I survived the robbery. After that I never more saw my car again, also the police told me that they were following the suspect.

To sum up, from now on I believe that traffic lights can murder me. I´d heard lots of cases like this one, but I never realized that it happened with me.

Living in the country side (Written by Kosuke and Heeyoun)

Living in the country side has the Pros and Cons. Some people prefer live in the city, and others prefer live in the country side.

One advantage is that we can breathe with clean air. Also, it is easier to buy a fresh food like a organic vegetable. Moreover, we can enjoy many outdoor activities. For instance, climbing, swimming, camping, and bushwalking. All in all, country side life is good for children and old people.

However, for every plus there is a minus. There are not enough jobs, and public transport. In addition, there are not many cultural places ; theatres, museums, shopping malls and multiplexes. Finally, in spite of many activities, sometimes we can feel bored.

All things considered, in our opinion living in the country side is attractive to old people and children, and those who need a healthy life. Nevertheless, young people like to live the city. And we are young so we want to live in the city.

Living in the country (by Amada, Chih-Hao and Elisa)

Living in the country has good points and bad points. On the plus side, the quality of life is better, because the people who live here are more friendly and relaxed. And countryside is safer than the city, so you don't need to lock your doors.In addition, there are many beautiful places, and the air isn't polluted. So it's good for kids to grow up healthily, because the food is fresher and the water is clear. It's good for older people. Moreover, don't have traffic and people can do the things by walking.

However, on the down side, another point is that you don't have night life and universities. And it's difficult to find a job. Maybe you need to drive to city for working. You can't do shopping, go to the cinema and theatre. The other people is easy to know your life.

In conclusion, if you live in the countryside, you can have a better and longer life. Value the little things importants in your life.
