Comment 06- Further into fashion (scumbro)

           

 Scumbro is the hottest trend in men’s fashion and involves looking badly dressed in oversized and overpriced clothing. An abundance of tattoos, some kind of badly dyed hair and a moustache are all good added extras. 

To achieve the scumbro look, you basically have to spend lots of money on buying brands that are inaccessible to most people, like: Supreme, Palace, Gucci, Versace and Prada. Pete Davidson, Justin Bieber, Jonah Hill and Shia LaBeouf are some of the actual ¨scumbros¨.

Fashion has changed a lot lately and there are different kinds of trends. In my opinion, scumbro fashion is really ugly and expensive. I think people should wear clothes that suit them.

Writing 05.1- An email thanking a relative or friend for the advice he gave me on specific problem

                                

                                                               Writing 05.1

 Dear friend,

I´m writing to thank you for your advice about apologising to David. I felt angry when I argued with him the other day and I didn´t want to talk to him anymore. You know how I am when I get angry. But you were right when you told me it was better to apologise. I found that argument between us embarrassing! I felt a little shy at the beginning but finally I called him, I apologized, and I told him that we should be friends again. He apologized, too.

It feels good (it´s great) having David as a friend again! So thank you again for your advice!
Hope to see you soon!


Your friend,
Mihail 

 

Writing 05- A difficult personal experience

                                      
                                                          Writing 05

       One of my most difficult personal experiences was when I had to move to Spain with my mum and leave my home, my grandparents and my friends. It was really difficult because I was only 5 and I couldn´t speak any Spanish. I felt really lost when I got here because I didn´t know anybody.

The first thing we did was sign up for Spanish classes in the afternoon because I was going to school in the morning. At the beginning I found Spanish very difficult to learn, but now I can speak it very well. Moreover, the teachers helped me a lot because I got on very well with them.

Moving to another country wasn´t easy, but my mum was always telling me to be confident. Now I´m really happy that we came to live here in Spain. I have improved my Spanish a lot and I have lots of friends. Besides, every time we can, we visit our family or they come here to visit us.

David: Why don´t you try them on?
Jess: Ok! Where are the changing rooms?
David: Over there on the right. Let´s go!
Jess: So what do you think?
David: The skirt fits you very well. How about the top?
Jess: I don´t like the top. It doesn´t fit me very well. It´s too tight!
David: Oh, I see what you mean. What a shame! We can go and see some other shops.
Jess: Yeah, you´re right. I´ll get the skirt and then we´ll see if I can find a top in the next shop.

Writing 02- Diffrences between the first year of secondary school and this year

Writing 02      

      In my first year of secondary school I used to study Art, Technology and Music, but this year I don´t study them any more. 

Now I study other new subjects like ITC, which is about the correct use of technology. I still study foreign languages like English and French. The English teacher from the first year is no longer teaching at my school. I´ve got new English, Spanish and Maths teachers.

Now I find subjects more difficult than the first year because there´s more information to study. In the first year of secondary school I used to have more free time and now I don´t.

My B1 official certificate

                      Officially mine!!! 💪

Comment 5- Virtual or real relationship?

Nowadays there are a lot of people using the dating apps to start a relationship. In my opinion, there are advantages and disadvantages of having a virtual relationship.

One of the advantages of a virtual relationship is that is a good choise for shy people because they can express themselves better than in a face to face relationship. Moreover, people can hide their real identity and be less inhibited when talking to the other person. 

One of the disadvantages of a virtual relationship is that giving personal information like your real name or where you live can be dangerous because you never know what kind of a person is the one you are talking to online. Furthermore, people can lie about their real identity and nowadays there are a lot of virtual abuses. So, we should be very careful! 

I prefer face to face relationships because they involve real emotions, I can see what the other person is like or if we understand each other, if we make a good couple, etc.
