THE HOUND OF BASKERVILLES

The Hound of the Baskervilles is the third of the crime novels written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle featuring the detective Sherlock Holmes. Originally serialised in The Strand Magazine from August 1901 to April 1902, it is set largely on Dartmoor in Devon in England's West Country and tells the story of an attempted murder inspired by the legend of a fearsome, diabolical hound of supernatural origin. Sherlock Holmes and his companion Dr. Watson investigate the case. This was the first appearance of Holmes since his apparent death in "The Final Problem", and the success of The Hound of the Baskervilles led to the character's eventual revival.
MY FAVOURITE RELATIVE
Out of all the relatives in my family I think that the person that I like to most is my cousin. She's a really nice girl. However, she is 8 years older than me.
Mios does dressage and has wan some chapionships. This shows that she is very hard-working and competitive. My cousin has got dyslexia and had to work hard at school.
When we were younger we lived next door to each other and when my mum was angry sith me I used to run to my sousins house and she hugged me and viceversa.
We'll always be friends.

Hi peter,
My name is Carlota and I have 15 years old. I like play basketball, my favourite sport is swimming and my favourite colour is blue. I don't like fish.
My school's name is Casa Nostra. It's in Banyoles near of the lake. I don't have a favourite subject because I don't like the school.
See you soon. Love
Pat

Last year, my friend Sam went to Africa for 2 moths. He went with his family. The weather was good for 1 month. The other month he told aboutt the bad weather. He went to the beach and he went to a safari. He told me that he liked it because it's an exotic place

SURPRISE
It was my birthday and I was looking around my house. I was meeting my friends at my house to celebrate my birthday. I was excited and got to my house at 8 o'clock, the time they had arranged to meet. No one had arrived yet. I decided to wait in the living room because my mum hadn't arrived.
At half past eight I was still waiting 10 minutes later my mum arrived. 'Why my friends aren't here?' I asked to my mum.
Then my mum decided to celebrate my birthday in a restaurant called "mistake".
At 9 o'clock I arrived at the restaurant. I opened the door. Suddenly the light went on and all my friends umped and shouted 'surprise'.

INFORMAL EMAIL
Dear Sabrina
Thanks for your letter, It was great to hear form you. In your letter you asked me about my favourite day of the week. Well, I have to say that it is Friday for the following reasons.
First of all because after Friday there's no school at the weedend. Which means that this is the last day.
Moreover, to this I have my favourite subjects on this day. For example I have maths and economics. I absolutely love these teacher because they make the classes interesting and fun, not like the other teachers.
During the week I have to study every day after school. However, on Fridays I'm free to go to the cinema with my friends. We always have a good time and we lough a lot. It's great!
Love,
Carlota

LIVING IN THE COUNTRY OR LIVING IN A CITY
A lot of people would like to live in the country away from pollution and noise. But are there real advantages to living tin a country?
First of all, I would like to say that if you live in the country it's much more peaceful than a city. In addition, it's a much safer environment to bring up children. Another advantage is that everybody knows each other.
However, there are some disadventages. Firstly, public trasnport is very bad in the country and you need a car. Added to that, life in the country can be quite boring.
On the other hand life in a city can be very exciting. There is a lot of entertainment, culture, cinema and shops. Another advantage is that you do not really need to use a car in a city.
To sum up, I think that if ou wont a life with a lot of action, then it is better to live in a city. However if you wont a quiet live then living in a country would be best.

DIARY
Week 1: Sunday 13th September
It's my first time as an assistant football coach of a team of 16 years-old girls, I was quite nervous at first, but it has gone great! The girls are very active and I have to slow the girls down.
Week 2: Sunday 20th September
We did a lot of exercises with the ball and they hatted it. Three players lost for injuries! The goal keeper bruised heer knees and other players have broken her legs. Fortunately, the first game is in one week.
Week 3: Saturday 27th September
The first game we won by one pont! If we play like this every week, will we won the league. The only negative pont is the comments of spectators. The spectators thing that we're in the champions.

COMPETENCIA
Last weekend I got up at 8 o'clock. I went to Llançà with my mum, my brother my friend and her mum. When we arrived we went to the beach with my friends.
I ate pasta in a restaurant. Then, we went to play with one of my friends and finally we wnet to bed at 12 o'clock.

Dear Mary,
Thanks for your letter. It was great to hear from you. In your letter you asked me what my town will be like in 20 years time. Well, my town hasn't changed much. As you know, we have a beautiful lake and area around the lake. I don't think this will chage much. Maybe some of the shops will change in the future and we will have more supermarkets.
I'm sure that I won't live here in the future because my town is quite small and a bit boring! I would like to live in a lively city.
Well, that's all for now.
Write back soon,
Love,
Carlota
