Dear Sarah! Thanks for the invitation to come to Australia, I’m really excited to spend some days with your family and you. On the one hand I’m interested in sightseeing the city and to meet new people. On the other hand I’m an animal lover and I’d like explore the wild part of Australia like watching kangaroos, koalas etc. Also I'd like to visit the beaches and try to surf while I 'm there. In addition to all these things, I would also like to improve my level of English and I hope you could help me with this.

(Option 2) Black Friday in November has quickly become the biggest shopping day in many countries and not just in the United States, where it originated. Black Friday is known because the big discounts that are offered during the day. Nevertheless, we need to answer if this day is a good idea for shop owners to offer large discounts before the Christmas holidays or maybe is a new form of consumerism. From my point of view offer discounts before Christmas is very helpful for shop owners because the people tends to buy more things when they are apparently discounted. For that reason Black Friday is a good way for the shops to increase the sales especially when people needs to buy the Christmas presents.

Pau's dialogue

Jin and Lora are sitting in a cafe. They've just finished their exams and they're talking about going to Lora's house to watch a film. Jin:  Are you sure that the film is on Netflix? Lora:  Wait, we're not using Netflix. Jin:  HBO, Amazon, Vodafone? Lora:  None of them! Haven't you heard of Megadede? Jin:  Sometimes, but I've never thought that it would be an online platform. Is it legal? Lora:  Well... not really. Listen, not everybody can afford paying for things such as Netflix, so we have to seek another way to watch series. Jin:  So, how do they make money of this? Lora:  They use lots of pop up ads around the webpage, but they aren't very annoying. Jin:  I slightly disagree with Megadede's functionality, although I think it's a good option when you're a bit desperate. Lora:  Then, what do you say? Are we going to my house or are we leaving the plan? Jin:  Let's head to my place. My Netflix's free trial is still up. Lora: ...
