Sample E (Question 7: Letter to a friend)

Dear Elenonora,

Many thanks for your letter, it was really nice to hear from you again. It's such a long time since we wrote to each other. In your letter, you asked me if I had a favourite restaurant. In my town, which is called Tours, we have lots of restaurants. But the name of my favourite restaurant is "La Trattoria". It's an Italian restaurant, which is situated in the oldest quarter where everyone goes to have a drink, but it's mostly frequented by students. I like this restaurant because we can have italian food but also typical food from my area like cheese, foie gras (duck paté). The atmosphere is very pleasant because there is a soft music and the people who work there, are very friendly.

If you come in Tours, we will go to have a meal. I am sure you will love this restaurant.

Give my regards to your family. I look forward to seeing you soon.

Love

Sample F (Question 7: Letter to a friend)

As you know I really like the hungarian food, so it is no question, where is my favourit restaurant in Budapest. Hungarian kitchen is quite spicey, but in my opinion, this fact made the Hungarian food well knowed all around the world. I like particularly one on the Danube's bank, where the sight is so butufoul. You can enjoy the panorama of the Gelleit mountain, the Palace, and you can see the most famous bridge, the Chainbridge as well. The service of this restaurnat is very friendly, or as I used to saying: very "hungarian". The food is fantastic, the waiters are very helpfuly, so you can get there verything, if you want to have such a nice evening. Even if you are going there with your girlfriend, you can spent a romantic time together, and I am sure, she would be very pleased.

Sample H (Question 8: I was on the beach...)

I was on the beach when my phone rnag. It was my flatmate., She was very nervous and anxious. She told me that while we were having holidays somebody came inside our flat. And he had stolen our computer and some cash! I was furious. So I went to home immediately. Our flat was in a mess. It was disaster! Both of us were crying. We phoned to the police office, half an hour later polices arrived. They asked something to us, but neither of us didn't know anything. Police man said to us, "Don't be afraid and worried about it". But we weren't able to like that. But 2 days later I was able to get the phone from police. The man who has stolen our computer was caught. He was a man who lived next door of us. Eventually we were able to bring back our computer and the man apologized us and moved another flat.

Sample I (Question 8: I was on the beach...)

I was on the beach when my mobile phone rang. I looked at the mobile screen but the number was unknown. I deceded to answer anyway. "Hello!" I said. "Hellow, Mr Tandulkar, this is the manager of the "Brooke" restaurant. I wanted you to know that the reservation of your table is confirmed at nine o'clock, this evening." "What?" I aked. "I don't have any reservation, and I didn't call you for booking any table for this evening!". "I'm sorry Mr Tandulkar but I have a reservation at your name, a woman called this morning and she booked a table for two". I was curious to meet that unknown woman, so I went to the restaurant at nine o'clock dressed on my best suit. The manager brought me to the mysterious woman and I was anxious to meet her! I looked at her and I was stunned! It was my sister! What a surprise. She wanted to celebrate her birthday! We had a very nice evening but at last I've paid the bill!

They all had diffrent types of dresses and suits. I saw lots of red, yellow and orange colours. It was amazing. They had also diffrent kinds of food because not everybody eats the same food.

As the concert finished, I heard someone call my name. I turned around and I saw a man is waving to me.

'Hey, Jack!' I shouted. He ran to me and looked so excited. 'I thought that was you but I'm not sure, I called your name and you turned around,' He said. 'I can't believe we can meet here' . . .

We were very good friends since primary school but he left after we graduated and have not seen each other till now. He invited me to his wedding as he is going to marry with her girlfriend soon. He is a very famous businessman now and being very successful.

Looking forward to go to his wedding and hope they can be sweet forever.

Sample I (Question 8: As the concert finished...)

As the concert finished, I heard someone call my name. It was my best friend Pedra! We haven't seen each other for ages. I couldn't recognise her. She changed a lot. She looked just perfect. We decided to go to find some quiet place where we could have a nice talk. We went to mine house, I made a cup of coffee and prepared some nibbles. We were talking about school, remembering all our boyfriends, all the naughty things that we used to do, about work that we found after school and lots of more. We didn't even realize it was almost 3 a.m! We would talk until the morning! What a pity we had to say good night. But never mind. We met up next day again.
