A few words about the last couple of days

    The last few days were very busy for me. I am looking forward to going on holiday to Poland. Yesterday, I went shopping to buy gifts for Christmas. I bought sweets, tea, a candle and a tracksuit for my nephew. I bought the hoodie in the wrong size and I have to go back to the shop to return it. Yesterday evening I went to a Christmas party with my colleagues from work. I drank a couple of beers to feel the great atmosphere of british pubs. Today I am going to have a lazy day and relax before my next work week.

       I'm interested in football, so I decided to go to a football match to watch my favourite team yesterday. On the way to the stadium I was very excited. I love that feeling, when my team scores goals, that's so exiting. The new coach is quite an intersting man. He is from Ireland and his father was also a coach. I hope he'll get us a promotion . I got to the stadium. The queue in front of the entry was annoying, because it was running slow and I was bored. Finally I found my seat, it was so tiring. The game had already started. After 15 minutes I felt so bored that I started to watch another football match on my phone. My team lost 1:5 and it was frustrating. On the way home I got depressed, because it started raining. I had expected to have a really nice evening, but felt completely annoyed and disappointed. When I got back home I just wanted to go to sleep, but I couldn't because of annoying sounds from the bathroom. Luckily that day is finished and today I am...

A few words about my work

      I work at night shift in a cake factory. There are three massive ovens in this factory. We are baking various cakes, like: chocolate, lemon, victoria, carrot and red velvet. The last one is the most interesting, because it contains beetroot flavour. Another curious cake is carrot cake. In the receipe of the cake are small pieces of carrot, raisins, sometimes pineapple and orange pulp. However, my favourite cake is apple cake. It has got crumble on top and small pieces of apple inside. This is the best cake the company makes and that's not only my opinion. I like my job, because I work in a system of 4 nights on and 4 nights off, which works excellently for my mental health and gives me satisfaction. 

11. Write a story: “Suddenly, the lights went out…”.

       Suddenly, the lights went out when I was on my way home. I felt a little bit scared, but I tried not to show it. It was in a rather poor and dangerous area, which I had to walk through to get home. The road was muddy because it had been raining all day and I barely managed to walk down the path, without my shoes getting stuck in the clay soil. The darkness bestwed a gloomy character upon this unsettling place. Barking dogs and strong wind made this place feel dangerous, like being in the most terrible story. Suddenly I heard the sound of a car's engine coming towards where I stood. I felt my spirits lift, at least I would see some lights in this awful darkness. I recognized this car! It belonged to a good friend of mine, one whom I hadn't seen for a few years. At first glance Matthiew hadn't changed, but I noticed that he was angry. I'd never seen him angry before, as he always came across as a warm and friendly guy, so I was confused. He told me that somebody...

10. Write an email to an exchange student describing your school.

Subject: Welcome to our school! Hi Rose, I am really delighted that you decided to come and study at our school next week! The building is quite massive, with about 900 students, but don't worry, I will show you everything that you need to know. The teachers are very friendly and experienced. Classrooms are modern and well-equipped with free Wi-Fi, TV and book lockers. The Canteen offers healhy and fresh food free of charge and tasty soft drinks. Lessons start at 08:00 a.m and usually finish at 3:30 p.m. My favourite classes are English and geography, because the teachers of those subjects are very smart and they both have a great sense of humour.  You should bring a PE uniform to get exercise and play some sports, which happens 3 times a week. Don't forget your waterproof jacket (after a few days you will know why). I look forward to seeing you at school. Regards, Maciej

9. Write an article: “My favourite sport or hobby”.

My favourite sport or hobby. I think that everyone should have a favourite sport, which will can become a hobby. My favourite sport is football. I have been in love with this sport since I was ten years old, and still adore the game. One of the reasons, why I love football is because most of my friends like playing the game and this is a great opportunity to spend more time with them. We always have fun when we are meeting on the pitch for another match. Everyone wants to show his unique tricks and score wonderful goals. Everyone wants to feel like a well known football player like Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. The next reason is more individual. Football helps me to improve my condition, by keep me in a good shape not just physically but also mentally. This way of spending my free time has a massive influence on my well-being and makes me happy. I always look forward to playing another match.  In the future, I hope that I will be able to play football for the rest of my life,...
