Discuss a questionnaire!

Laura S: Hey Aina. We're doing a questionnaire about your job. Do you want to  have a look?

Aina: Yeah, go on then.

Laura S: OK, I'll ask you the interesting ones. How do you travel to work every day?

Aina: I go by public transport.

Laura S: Yes me too. How much time do you spend daily at work?

Aina: Oh, I never though that before, but I think I spend around six hours a day.

Laura S: Well I think that's the usual journey. OK, now the last one: Do you feel right doing your job?

Aina: Yes of course. I wouldn't work in something if I don't enjoy it.

exchange opinions!

Laura: Hi Aina! Have you seen this?

Aina: No, what are they?

Laura: They're posters against tobacco. All the students in the school have to say which one's best, and why.

Aina: Le'ts see.. Mmm. What do you think?

Laura: I can't really decide, but I supose the one on the left has got clearer message. Do you agree?

Aina: Well yes and no. It's clear but it isn't very effective.

Laura: Why's that?

Aina: Well, I reckon you should be positive. For me the one on the left is trying to be scary.

Laura: Mmm. You might be right there.

Ask for advice about a relationship!

Hi Nicky:

I've been on jholiday in Australia for two weeks now and I've just met this guy, Toby. He's so handsome and good-looking, he's also very funny and he always makes me laugh, but I'm not sure how I feel about him. I need your advice.

I met him in a party on Saturday and he invited me to dinner. Both of us were having a very good time and then he said that we could meet again another day to introduce me to his friends. When we were with his friends, he met his last girlfriend and then he spend all time with her! But then when I said that I had to go he told me that he loves being with me and after that we were talking for a long time.

I've been thinking about things all time since then. I'll probably see him tomerrow, but I'm not sure what to do if he aks me out. He seems very different when he is with his friends. What do you reckon?

Characters. A description.

Katrina Van Tassel:She was the daughter of Baltus Van Tassel.Katrina's got beautiful big brown eyes and long blonde curly hair.She's a very mysterious girl. She did spells for protect Ichabod.

She's Katrina Van Tassel. Katrina's got beautiful big brown eyes and long blonde curly hair.She's a very misterious girl... list of adjectives Who's your favourite character? Why?

My favorite character is Inchabot Crane (Johnny Depp), because of his excellent interpretation. He is also the main character in the film, so he appear all the time. I enjoyed his strange faces at somethings that happened and his strange tools too.

Plot: The conspiracy.

In 1799, a New York detective, is sent to a town called Sleepy Hollow to investigate murders. The killer decapite his victims. When Ichabod arrived, Baltus Van Tassel explained the murders to him. The he started investigate. Early, the cetective, descovered that the killer wasn't a person of flesh and blood. He was a died person.

The headless kinght was killing more and more people, but all the people that he kill was from Van Tassel's family.

Did you like the film? Why?/Why not?

I think that the plot of the film is great, I mean all the conspiracy, because it makes you think all the time without knowing what is going to happen. But I think also that there's too much people decapitated, and that's a little bit disgusting, but that's just my opinion.

invite someone out!

Aina: Hi, Laura. I haven't see you for a while. How are things?

Laura:Not bad. How are you?

Aina: I'm Ok. Have you ever try to dance salsa? There's a class on Monday's evening.

Laura: No, I haven't, but I've heard it's exhausting.

Aina: I'm going to go with some friends tomorrow. Do you fancy coming?

Laura: Yeah, Ok. That would be great. What time?

Aina: I'm not sure. I'll text you, Ok?

Laura: All right. See you later then, Aina.

Aina: Ok. Bye, Laura.

Laura: Bye!
