You all might as well learn some techniques from them!
Hi Florencia!
Thanks for your letter, you really surprised me, I didn´t expect you to
contact me this soon!
I´m glad you asked about my job, so well, let me start by telling you
some things about it.
As I said last class, it is in the administration of a private neighbourhood
in Nordelta, Tigre.
I´ve been working there since September 2015 (before I used to work here,
at York!). I´ve to go every day from 9:00 to 18:00, except at weekends.
Sometimes I break down but I´m happy, it´s very dynamic, I´m dealing with
different situations and a lot of people all the time. I found out it´s making
me grow and also gain a lot of experience.
I thought you might be interested to hear about my guitar classes, which
is something I do in my free time. I´m just learning but I love music so I
enjoy it very much.
I also spend my afternoons rollerblading with one of my best friends, it
helps me to disconnect my mind from daily routine.
I also want you to know I´m glad and excited about your classes, I was
wondering if you would like to help me improve my listening and speaking skills
because, as you might know, I´m planning to sit for CAE by the end of the year!
Now, I´ve to get back to work but I´ll see you next Wednesday!
Take care,
Cami!
Hello Florencia
It is really good that you sent this letter to me.
I´m doing my last year at school, and I’m busy because I have to do a
long and difficult project about child abuse. In this project, I have
to investigate by reading books, talking with people that know about this
topic, and watching movies or documentaries. However, the most important part
of this project is the experience, going to places where there are children
that suffer from abuse. I have to help them and play with them, in this
way I can understand them better.
Apart from the academic life, I’m working at a book shop, so I don´t have
a lot of free time, but when I do, I like to go to the gym. At the
weekends I hang out with friends; we go to the cinema, eat out, go
to parties or just meet in someone´s house.
I would like to sit for the exam this year in December because next year
I´ll start university and I won´t have time to study for CAE.
I´m really happy to have you as my teacher too.
See you next class!

Hi Flor!
I’m writing to tell you a little bit about myself. At the moment I’m not
working but I’m studying. I worked until last year at York and decided
that this year I was going to help my sister-in-law with her own business and
her new-born. In that way, I’d have more time to devote to studying and
try to pursue my dream job as a flight attendant.
I’m currently waiting for a response from Qatar Airways, and if
everything goes okay, I’ll be moving away and working with them.
I’m a crossfit fan! I love the discipline and the people that train with
me are really kind, we’re always having fun and making jokes. I like
running and have run a few 5K marathons, which were great fun.
I also like to read and write. I sometimes feel much older than I
am, because I’d rather stay home than go out every weekend. I enjoy a good
dinner more than all the noise in dance clubs. Whenever I go out, I enjoy it
and have a good time.
I have three nephews, two of them live here and I really like to be
around them and spend time with them.
Regarding CAE, I wish I had done it last year, but I wasn´t feeling a
hundred percent confident. I’m having a hard time with the reading and I
get very nervous in the speaking part. So I really want to work hard on those
two papers and get to the exam at the end of the year feeling more
relaxed.
Hope to hear from you soon,
Kiss,
Otis!
Hello Flor,
Thanks for your email. I was glad to hear from you and that all is
going fine despite the difficult times we are living. Furthermore, I’m
also happy about all the projects you had mentioned before, which you have
been carrying on.
In my case, I’m also very well and I have a lot of news to tell
you. Firstly, I want to talk about my job. I really got bored of my last
one so I have been looking for a new one, and you know, this is very
stressful but luckily, I have found one which I hope will be a great
chance. I’m starting at Unilever company next week and I’m so excited
about that! It is a big and international company that could bring many
positive things to my career.
Secondly, you asked about the things I do in my free time, didn’t
you? Well, I really don´t have much free time but on weekends I usually go
to the river to practice wake boarding in the afternoon and go
dancing at nights, but during the week I only go to work and then to
university. Therefore, as you can see, I have fun only on weekends for the
time being.
Lastly, about my CAE test, I am planning to sit in December or on
the first instance the following year. I need a lot of time to practice in
order to get a good level before planning to sit for it.
So that’s all, I hope you will be ok, and good luck with all the amazing
things you are living.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Take care.

Dear Florence,
Good to hear from you. It's been a long time since we saw each other.
How are you doing?
I've been very busy these days because I´m starting exams next week, so
I've been studying a lot. I barely had time to drop a line.
I've also been helping my little brother with a very important project
he has next week. Apart from that, as I'm new at school, I found a lot of
differences with my other school.
The teachers are more rigid, I mean, without sense of humor and we have
to say lots of patriotic stuff in the morning before we enter our classes.
There are also some good things, for example I made lot of new
friends and they even invited me to a party!
Despite the fact I’ve been very busy I also had some free time. I have
football lessons twice a week and also go to the gym. But when I got some
time to rest, I sleep a lot and play video games; it’s very relaxing.
I was supposed to sit for CAE last year but we had a very boring
teacher. She was 75 years old and she wasn’t able to come to all the
classes. So I finally decided to sit for it at the middle of the year,
though I’m still thinking about it.
I’m also glad to be your student, I hope to have a great year.
See you!

Hello Florencia,
How are you?
I am fine, I have
recently been very busy with school because of our annual work, I am quite
nervous I must admit but luckily other than that everything is well.
Regarding my free
time , I don't have much because I have been very occupied with my studies,
especially with subjects like Chemistry, Physics and Maths , which I have a
hard time with. To distract myself I have started a new course on ceramics
which I am highly interested in. I believe it is a good way to forget about all
my worries and tasks since it gives me peace so I am very happy.
Another thing I do
when I have some free time is running, I started doing it during my summer
break and each day I try to go a little bit further, it is a great
motivation.
I am planning to sit
for my Cae exam in May actually on the 7th. Because of that , I have been doing
a lot of extra homework, I was wondering if I could send it to you so that you
can tell me if it is okay.
That is all for now ,
I hope to hear back from you soon, please tell me your news, I heard about your
new job congratulations!!! I am very glad for you.
Lots of hugs , I hope
to see you soon!

Hello teacher!
Nice to hear from you!!
I am very happy that you are back to school and I feel excited about
learning English this year! As regards school, I recently changed schools
and started at Colegio Del Norte. I don’t really know much about it,
because I am new. I also haven’t made any friends yet but I guess I will
get to know my mates and the school soon. Luckily, I know some of the
students from a grade beyond so I chat with them at break time and I would
also like to mention that the teachers are excessively strict!
Regarding my free time, I do a lot of things, on the weekend I hang out
with friends in the neighborhood and we spend most of the day chatting
and playing sports. I don’t really enjoy sports but in the end, the point is to
be with my friends haha!
During the week, I usually play video games and spend most of
the time inside my house watching series and movies and every night before
going to sleep, I read a lot! I read from Sci Fi books up to fantasy
medieval-themed books. The ones I mostly like are those which involve magic
in the stories in the same way that J.K Rowling does on Harry potter. I
also love novels that have a tragical ending!
Last Year I was supposed to sit fort the CAE, but I had a teacher that
was always absent to many classes so I barely learned anything. I guess I will
sit for the exam at the end of this year if I get good marks at mocks!
I am very excited about being your student and I hope we all have a very
good year!
My best wishes
Bernardo
Dear teacher,
How are you? I hope you´re doing well. I knew you were going to write to me, so I was expecting this letter from you.
By the way, my school is going great. This is my last year so I´m pretty excited but sad at the same time because I will miss teachers and friends. My plans for this year are to enjoy everyday to the maximum. I still don´t know what I´m going to study in the future, so that´s a bit frustrating, but I will figure it out soon.
In my free time I play basketball in a sports center near my house. I love it. I've been playing it since I was 9 or 10 years old. I also go to the gym in the same place. When I have some free time at home, I watch series or play video games such as "Call of Duty" or FIFA. I also love football and I´m a big fan of River plate.
About the CAE: I don´t know when I´m going to sit for it. These are just my first classes, but I think I will sit for it when I feel ready, I know it´s going to be harder than the FCE, which I passed last year, so this one requires more effort. Another thing that I want to add is that I also attend this class not to lose contact with the language, and knowing that I could pass an important exam that will be useful for my future job.
I want to leave something for the final, and it´s the fact that I´m very glad to be your student and I like the way you teach.
Agus.
