Unit 3. A traffic problem in a city

I am writing because I was thinking a city that had a traffic problem. I've decided that I'm going to do Barcelona, because it is a city that is not far away. The problem in Barcelnona is that, in the morning, there are a lot of cars in the street.

I think there is a reason for this. There are a lot of cars because all the people go to work in the morning at the same time. So for this reason there are problems of traffic each morning.

We mus do something about this situation. If people can go by bus, We won't have the traffic problems, and decrease would be pollution.

Unit 2. TV Highlights

There are a lot of programmers that I enjoy, but my three favourite programmers are: Modern Family, The big bang theory and the foraster.

Modern Family is a comedy series. The families of Jay Pritchett, his daughter Claire Dunphy,  and his son Mitchell Pritchett are protagonist. Claire is married with Phil and they have three children, Jay is married with a younger Colombian woman named Gloria and together they raise their teenage son Manny, while Mitchell share his life with Cameron. They have adopted a Vietnamese baby. This will lead to comic situation Throughout each chapter.

The big bang theory is also a comedy series. There are three scientific, Sheldon, Leonard and Rajesh, an engineer, Howard and waitress, Penny. Sheldon and Leonard are romance and Pennny is his neighbour. Howard lives with his wife , Bernadette. Sheldon also has a partner, Amy. In all chapters, all these characters spend their unspeakable stories.

The last serie is called 'El Foraster'. Quim Masferrer, the foraster goes for 48 hours to a village in Catalonia. The ones the villagers questions and in the end he make a show for the people about everything that has happened during these 48 hours.

Unit 1. My friend

Marta and I are friends. Marta lives near me here in Banyoles. We don't go to the same school.

Marta is thirteen years old. He's quiet short and he's got long brown hair. The good thing about him is that she's cheerful and friendly, all though she can also be boring sometimes, and she isn't always very practical.

Marta is happiest when she's chatting and joking with friends. She likes going to the cinema. There's a big new shopping center in town and we often go there. She likes watching films, and sometimes we do that together.
