2. A LIFE STORY
I was born in Girona in 1992. When I was young, we didn't live in a different house; all my life I've lived in the same place.
I am writing to enquire about lottery funds for a project in our town.
Yours faithfully,
Júlia Olivé

Simple Plan's band.
Simple Plan was formed in Canada in 1999 but his complete formation was in 2000. The original members are Pierre Bouvier (vocals), David Desrosiers (bass guitar), Sébastien Lefebvre (guitar), Jeff Stinco (guitar) and Chuck Comeau (drums). The five-piece initially came together when Comeau and Bouvier founded Reset at age 13 (one old band of music). All of the group’s members write songs.
Simple Plan’s first album was released by ‘Lava Records’ company in 2002. Their second album, Still not getting any…, became their first bestseller in 2004. Since then, their albums have all been always hits at some moment.Simple Plan play both pop, rock and punk music. Some of their best-known songs are Shut up!, I’d do anything and When I’m gone. The band has won a lot of prizes for their music and videos. In 2003 the group took home a MuchMusic Video Award for People’s Choice Favourite Canadian Group, an important prize for them.
5. A DISCUSSION ESSAY
Technologies have changed the world in the last 20 years. Before the Internet was invented, searching information about a specific topic used to be more difficult. Working without Internet would be more difficult and people would have to write his projects on hand. Now, we can communicate a lot of things through this communication channel. But, sometimes, it can be very slow. All in all, I think that Internet is the best invention, because it’s very useful and in the future it will be more developed.
6. A LETTER: EXPLAINING A PROBLEM
I've had a problem recently. My friend Laura met a guy a month ago and he asked her out. They've met a lot of times a few days ago and I thought that everything was O.K. until they had a big argument. She stays sad and I don't know how can I help her. She doesn't talkd about it and she doesn't introduce me her boyfriend so I don't know how he is. I'm worried.
I think that my friend will be better if she met him and talks about the argument. I can't do a lot for them because I think that I shouldn't interfere. But maybe I can try to talk with Laura and help her.
I'd really like some advice because if I don't do something soon, they will probably finish their relationship.
