My favourite invention [English]

 My favourite technological invention is the camera, it was invented by George Eastman in 1886.

 He founded the Eastman Kodak Company in 1889. Years later he invented the reel and the roll. The first photographer was Joseph Niépce using a camera made of wood.


 Nowadays, there are a lot of types of cameras like: reflex, APS...

 I like a lot this invention because a like the photography, in my opinion, is very interesting and beautiful.

 Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to complain about a video game, which I purchased online last weekend as a birthday present for my younger brother.


When my brother tried to put the video game in the console, it would not let him because there was an error, the console started to making stranges noises. After, cleaned the DVD and the same. I think that is totally inappropiate because it is a well known game.


 Furthermore, we were shocked to see that the game promotes bad behavioir and is completely unacceptable waste my money in this way.

Until now, I had always been really impressed with games of this type and quality, but my brother is very sad because he was very excited, he wanted to play it. Under the circumstances, could you give me a full refund, please? I would be grateful. Thank you.




Yours faithfully,




Patricia Martín Arroyo.

 with anyone and you can touch them. The accent of my city is  'Andaluz'. It was great to hear that you're fine.

And, when are you coming to here? I hope that going to be soon! I'll wait for you message.

You should never eat junk/fast food. Discuss.

 In recent years, many young people has started eating fast/junk  food like hamburguers, etc... So, the most of people are fat. What  are the advantages and disadvantages of fast food?


 Well, one advantage of fast or junk food is that it's more  confortable than other foods. Another one is that it's makes fill up  because they have a lot of energy. It's quick and easy to cook, too.


 However, they have a lot of disadvantages like you can have diabetes and cholesterol because they have a lot of sugar. Another disadvantage is that it's unhealthy and isn't very nutritious.

 To conclude, i think that eat junk/fast food is very bad for the organism, so, you should never eat junk food, you can eat other things like vegetables, fish...
