My ideal house.

My ideal house is a modern flat in a good neighborhood. I want a flat with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, a small dining room and a small living room. I want to live with a friend.
I prefer the modern decoration. Modern pictures, modern sofas and big vases with beautiful flowers. My flat will be colourful, I find this very important.
In my bedroom I want to have wood floor, but with a furry white rug. The walls must be white too. The bedspread will be white and the cushions will be colourful. Next to the bed will be a wood night table with a lamp. I want to have a big closet and the curtains will be very beautiful with a modern design. I think I will buy a television and a DVD too. And of course, I will have a big mirror into my walking closet.
I prefer that my apartment is small so that my friends do not ask me to do parties.

My favourite book

My favourite book is called "Mi planta de naranja-lima" from José Mauro de Vasconcelos. I read this book last year on December, when I had hollidays and I had time to read. For example while I was lying on the beach, while I was going to Santo Domingo, or while I was doing exercices I read my book.
The book is about a brazilian kid, Zezé, who lives with his family. He was a very naughty kid and his family punished and hit him, also he decided to speak with a little tree, an orange-lime tree (he called her new friend Minguito) and Zezé spoke with Minguito about his problems. this tree was the only friend and the only "toy" wich Zezé has, because his family was very poor.
When he was four years old he went to school. A day like any other Zezé knew Portuga (an old and rich man) and they were good friends. Portuga was the only person who help Zezé. Portuga helps Zezé with the school, with her problems and also they go to the café together. But after some months, while the kid was playing on the street, a train ran over Portuga and he died. The little kid was so sad and Minguito was his only friend, again.

Letter to the editor of a newspaper: TV programs.

Dear Editor,
I’m writing to express my indignation about the soap opera “Celos”, from Canal 12. This program is showed on TV at 2:00 pm, when children have just arrived from school, and it contains a lot of sex scenes, what in my opinion and the opinion of many parents is very inappropriate.
Last Tuesday my 6-year-old daughter came from de TV room and asked me why was naked people on TV. I got really nervous and really didn’t know how to reply to her question. I just told her that she probably saw something she shouldn’t and that people shouldn’t be naked. I don’t know what was on her mind at that moment.
The fact is that the channel is being very imprudent, since that is not the only program that shows that kind of scenes, and children are frequently watching them. I think Canal 12 should put those programs on TV at night, at an adequate time, so that our kids don’t watch things they shouldn’t at their age, and most important, things that could damage somehow their minds.

Yours sincerely,
Brittany Brown.
