Dear Sir or Madam
I am writing to you because I saw your advertisement looking for PE teacher in summer jobs and I am interested in it.
I am sixteen years old and I am hard-working and sociable, in my town I have a lot of friends and I usually go out with them. I love all the sports. During the year I practise football three times a week and we have a match every weekend.
I consider myself good at this job because I am a good communicator and organized. I like children. I have a young cousin and I always play football with him.
I would like to know how much money I will earn, if I will have free time and how long the job is going to be.
I would love to get this job and I think I can be the right person for it.
I am looking forward to hearing from you

Yours faithfully

Arnau

Black Beauty


In this third term I read a book called Black Beauty. It was about a horse life. It told the different experiencies that Beauty lived at the length of his life and his masters. His first house was a pleasant farm with fields around it. In his fisrt four years of life he had a very relaxed life, he didn't have any job to do. But then he was sold to another master, and there he sometimes had to pull a carriage but he also had time to stay at the field. One day he fall and he broke his knees and he lost her possibilities to have a good job. Then he was sold to a cab driver and he pull a carriage with people to the different places of London. This job was very exhausted for Beauty but he did his best all the time. Her worst job was with a baker, but the man was very unkind and they didn't had a good relation and he was sold in a horse fair to and old man. There he met with Joe, her favourite master. And in this farm the people was very kind and he was so happy with them.
I recomend the book, I like it a lot!

El canto del loco

PRESENTATION:
We‘ve chosen “El Canto del Loco” because it’s a famous pop rock group in Spain and all of us like their music. Their songs usually talk about love and the society: The group consists of four musicians. The singer’s name is Dani Martín who decided to create the group, he was born in Madrid in 1977. He has participated in some films like “Yo soy la Juani”. The guitarist name’s David Otero. He was born in Madrid too and is Dani’s cousin. Chema Ruiz is the bass player. He was born in Santander. And Carlos Gamón who is the drummer.

EXPERIENCES
They have recorded some albums. Their first album was in 2000 called “El canto del loco” and the most important single was “Eres un canalla”.
In 2002 they recorded her second album called “A contracorriente” and the best single was called “A contracorriente”. The third album is “Estados de Ánimo” and it was recorded in 2003. The best single was “La madre de Jóse” . In 2005 they recorded her fourth album called “Zapatillas” and the best single was “Zapatillas”. In 2008 they recorded her fifth album whose name’s “Personas”. This CD is one of the most important and it had a lot of success and they did a limited edition called “ De personas a personas”. They also did a lot of videoclips, and one of this won a price.
During this years they did a lot of tours around Spain to illustrate their new songs to all of her fans. They sang in a lot of cities in Spain like Barcelona, Madrid...

PERSONAL OPINION
We decided to explain this group because we like their music and also because is an Spanish group. Doing this homework we learn a lot of things about the band. For example we didn’t know Dani Martin participed in some films. Their songs received a lot of prizes and some of her singles was a really heat in Spain during a lot of time. They have collection of some old songs, like “Devuelme a mi chica” by Hombres G, “La Chica de ayer” by Nacha Pop.
