Win a dream holiday.
Write to tell us what you imagine would be a perfect holiday, and you
might win a prize!
I think that a perfect holiday is characterized by total relax. I imagine a beatiful island rich in herbaceous vegetation,low populated and characterized by a limpid sea and a long beach. I imagine that I'm staying under a big palm and I'm eating a chilly coconut. A hot sun is shining in the sky and a delicate breeze is refreshing the hot body. The island is quite, no caos, no smog, no insects annoy me, but....it's only a dream!
Write a dialogue:
"You and a friend are planning a trip to Venice, Rome and Capri. Talk about ways of getting around, and the advantages disavantages of each way for each place."
- I think that we could go to Venice by plane. What do you think?
- That's a good idea. Plane is more expensive, but it is appropiate for long travel, it is the fastest and the more confortable.
- It's the most convenient way to travel!
- After we have visited Venice, we could go to Rome.
- How do you want to get there?
- We could go by taxi.
- It's too expensive!Why don't we go by train? It's convenient and it's cheaper than going by taxi.
- Ok.
- Then we could go to Capri by ship. What do you think?
- I don't like travelling by ship, and it is slower than bus. We could go to Naples by bus and get up to Capri by ferry.
- Yes, I agree. Bus and ferry are less confortable than ship, but they are cheaper than ship.

Part A You are a member of a film club at your college.
You have been asked to give a description of your favourite film, and to say why you like that film most of all
Actually my favourite film is Seven Pounds of Muccino, with Will Smith.I really like this actor. I like this film most of all because it's a touching story with a deep meaning. The story talk about Tim Thomas, an aeronautical engineer that causes a car crash in which seven people died: six strangers and his fiancee. So, in a bid for redemption, Tim decides to save the lives of seven good people and to do it, he gives his life. I advise you to look it.

Write to tell us what you imagine would be a perfect holiday, and you might win a prize!
The holiday are always perfect. My ideal holyday would be in total relax, in a beautiful place, with a few of friends. I'd like to fly on a large withe beach near a lightblue sea, in a all-inclusive village with animation, swimming pools and all you need to relax and to have fun.
You and a friend are planning a trip to Venice, Rome and Capri. Talk about ways of getting around, and the advantages disavantages of each way for each place.
M: - Hi! What do you think about our next journey?-
L: - It’s a wonderful idea! The first stop of our journey is Venice. How would you like to get there?-
M: - I thinks that the best way to arrive there is the airplane -
L: - It's much expansive, but it's the faster way of course. It's a good idea. And than? We could take a bus or a train to go to Rome. The bus is slower than train but maybe it's cheaper. I don't know. What do you think about this?-
M: I'd like to take a train. It's faster than bus, so we could have more time to visit this beautiful city. I hope it's punctual too.-
L: Ok, I'm agree. So we will take the train to go to Rome. We will arrive to Termini Station. There we could use the underground to go around the city. It's the most convenient way of course. The next stop will be Naples. We could take a bus to go there.-
M: - Yes, I think so too. And than we could take a hydrofoil to go to Capri. -
L: - Why don't we use a ferry? It's cheaper than hydrofoil.-
M: I have not thought about that. Perfect! let's go to prepair our bags! -

hello maria
I found a solution for our trip!
we leave for Venice by plane (the cheapest means of transport), then we could go from Venice to Naples and from there by ferry to reach Capri!
the trip will be economic because the means of transport are the most appropriate!
What do you think?
Mary:I think it is the solution migliore.l 'plane to Venice is the fastest from London ... to get to Naples by bus is the cheapest and goats ... the ferry is the most characteristic solution for beauty of the landscape!
Waiting for you to book
hello!
