WRITING
Hello, my name is Elisenda and today I'm here to talk about music.
I have played the piano since I was a child, actually for 10 years and I also write songs. So I love music but not just one kind of music. I've always loved country music , one of my favourite singers is Taylor Swift but I enjoy listening to very different artists such as Nirvana or Green Day. I like Catalan musicians too. I like Lluís Llach, for example. And I love Txarango, Blaumut, els Manel, els Amics de les Arts, etc.
I know for some people this will sound very weird but I also like classical music. Debussy and Chopin are definitely my favourites.
Do you usually listen to the radio? Of course you do! I do too. In fact the radio has become part of my daily life. I listen to it all the time: when I wake up I turn it on, when I do homework I listen to it and if I go to school by car, same thing.
About music industry, I do still buy CDs. I don't know if you agree with me, but musicians have to work a lot to make new music so if we want them to keep doing their job we need to be legal. This is only my opinion.
Music has helped me my whole life and I hope that it will the rest of it.
Thank you for your attention. Any questions?

Hi
Maria!
We're
having a great holiday here in Sweden. We're staying in a hotel in
the outskirts of Visby. It's got a swimming pool but it's too cold to
swim! There are lots of things to do. The people are very friendly
and nice.
Two
days ago we went to a really large forest, but we didn't get lost!
Sweden is very beautiful but the weather could be better. It's very
cold and a bit wet.
Are
you having a good holiday at the beach?
See
you soon.

Travelling abroad
To: elisabethwillies24@me-mail.comSubject: Tuesday!
Dear Elisabeth
Thanks for your message. I'm looking forward to your visit to Barcelona. I'll come to the airport with my mother to collect you on Tuesday. What time does your flight arrive?
I think you'll like Barcelona. We live about 10km from the city centre but there are buses that go into the city all the time. When you're here there are lots of things to do. We can go to the beach and we can visit la Sagrada Familia too. And, of course, you'll meet all my friends and we can play baseball together.
You should bring shorts and a bathing suit. The weather here is usually hot and sunny!
See you on Tuesday

The Smiley: just smile and be happy!
Did you know that the Smiley is more than 50 years old? I Love English looks at the past, present and future of this happy symbol...
The 1960s: making people happy
The smiley started life in the USA in 1963. The employees of an insurance company were worried about their jobs, so the boss asked a graphic artist to create an image to make them happy. The artist, Harvey Ball, drew a yellow smiling face in just ten minutes. The company printed thousands of badges with the smiley face. People loved it!
The 1970s: smiley goes to France
In 1971, two American brothers put the smiley on a card with the words "Have a Happy Day". They also produced T-Shirts, mugs and badges. At the same time, Frenchman Franklin Loufrani used smileys to highlight the good news in a newspaper. He trademarked the smiley and created his "Smiley Company"... which sold Smiley merchandising;-)
The 1980s: Hi-tech and music Smileys
The 1980s were exciting for the Smiley! An American computer scientist, Scott Fahlman, invented "emoticons":-). People later used them in e-mails. The British music industry also adopted the Smiley. It became the symbol of "acid house" electronic dance music. A T-Shirt with a Smiley was the coolest thing to wear to a nightclub in London!
The 1990s: The Smiley's prehistoric origins
In 1991, the American rock group, Nirvana, created their logo: a smiley face sticking out its tongue! It was the first cheeky Smiley. In France, the Smiley was causing debate. Nicolas Loufrani of the Smiley Company said that Harvey Ball did not invent the Smiley. He said it resembled prehistoric cave paintings in France. Prehistoric origins? What an honour for the Smiley!
2015... A big future for the Smiley
Today, fans can visit the new Smiley Shop in London, which is full of merchandising. And the Smiley continues to envolve. Recently, there was an online campaign to promote emoticon racial diversity. In May 2014, an app company in Mauritius produced the first set of black Smilies. Now the happy face transcends all language - and cultural barriers!
