Writing a Letter Taks

You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.
You are due to move into a rented apartment next month but you will not be able to because you have some problems.

Write a letter to the landlord. In your letter:
  • explain your situation
  • describe your problems
  • tell him/her when you think you can move in
Write at least 150 words.

You do NOT need to write any addresses.

Dear Mr Brands 

By this letter  I want to let you know about an inconvenient I'm currently facing in the building where I'm living, apparently there have been some issues here that require an immediate solution which might take within one or two months.

A few days ago there was a theft inside the building in which 12 apartments were involved including mine. Fortunately nothing important was stolen just a few things of ours. The matter is that no one can't move anywhere while the investigation is carried out by the authorities, they say that as soon as the case is solved, We'll be able to move out of the building.

I just want to apologize  for the possible delay that this could cause. But this is actually something out of my hands, and I just want to ask you to still keep the apartment for me and my wife and if this means that I have to pay extra money, I will do so.

I really hope this doesn't cause any problem

Your sincerely

Andrés J

Analysing A Device "Describing its Main Features"

You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.
The diagram below shows the production of steam using a gas cooled nuclear reactor.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

Write at least 150 words.

A gas cooled nuclear reactor has a reactor ad a heat excharger which treat the gas through a cycle that involves both devices. The reactor contains the uranium fuel elements, all of which are surrounded by graphite moderators, on top there are the charge tubes for loading elements and boron control rods. The reactor is hosted into a pressure vessel and protected by a concreted radiation shielding. 67

On the right, there's the heat exchanger whose hot gas duct connects internally with the reactor  allowing the gas go through both,There's a pipe on the bottom which brings in water that goes upward and is heated to steam, on top it flows out of the turbo alternator Whilst the hot gas sinks to the bottom where is cooled by the gas blower that send it to the reactor again.

As can be observed this is a constant cycle whose main objective is to keep the reactor cool by sending away the steam and the heat and cooling the gas.

CHART TASK


The charts illustrate three different situations all related to the waste in the UK, taken from 2000 to 2003 (period).

The first chart presents the waste in tonnes ranged from 200.000 to 12.000. Whose average remained high during the four years. (800.000) in 2000, then the number declined circumstantially to to (700.000). But it shut up enormously in 2002, where reached its highest level at (1.200.000) decreasing minimally to (1.100.000) in 2003.

The second chart sows the investment in Euros-Millions, destined to the waste disposal. 1 million is used in 2000, while between 2001 and 2002 it rose moderately to 1.5 millions and in 2003 peaked to 2.5 millions.

The third chart corresponds to the complaints received about the environmental damage. Here the growth was gradually going up from (33.00) in 2000 to (39.000) in 2001, in 2002 increased to 32.000. And finally, in 2003 boomed to 32.000.

ESSAY



Some people think that it is more important that cities provide cheap-housing and facilities, while others think that it is worth spending money on well-designed building that look beautiful.

What are your opinions about it?

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Write at least 250 words at least:

From my point of view, cheap-housing is good for people’s pockets when there’s not much money to afford expensive things: But, it is also a true fact that many of this cheap-houses sometimes are built with secondary materials that don’t provide a long-lasting and enough endurance. Like well-designed buildings do. As well as, the location is at times not the most desirable; indeed, many factors like: security and the environment are not as elegant as they are in the uptown.

 I live in the west-part of the city and I frankly can say that house-living here is neither expensive nor economic, but something that is for sure invaluable is the security which we count on. It’s peaceful and very calm, and referring to facilities housings in my neighborhood offer many like; green-areas, parks and in the houses people dispose of garage, balconies and even area for BBQ. Also, the location helps too much when getting around the city because there are many avenues near for an easy and comfortable mobility.

On the other hand, when a well-designed housing is located in a private area the price of some things like; the bills or the administration are pretty expensive and unaffordable, But is undeniable that this houses are beautiful and technologically are several steps forward than normal housings anywhere in the city.

In short, a house must be bought not considering the price-tag, but looking for comfort instead, for not only the owner but also for the people who will habit it. And, evaluating factors like; the quality of life that will be provided outside of it, looking for a better development both inside the housing and in the society.

Word used 255.

The Colombian's National Soccer Team Drought

Colombian citizens are actually living a real joy, a carnival due to the national's team qualification to the next year's world cup in Brazil. Event where our name hasn't been for 15 years already, when our team competed by the last time was in France in the 1998 edition, reaching the third place in the first round in a tough group conformed by England, Tunisia and Romania. Therefore, our team was sent out of the cup. 


Since that time many things have already happened in this sport such as: The economical impact that it's got over the world, fashion tendencies like:"Shoes and jersey's designs, haircuts". And many other things related with the sports and soccer in general. Colombia has suffered a positive transformation in it's internal organization in sports by providing moral and economical support and providing athletes with facilities for the youngsters to enhance their capabilities and also to grow up educatelly and formed as a good human beings. 

As a result nowadays Colombia shows an incredible development in sport with a great number of athletes on top in many sports, waving our flag in the highs on the planet. But, talking about soccer our team's being a boom worldwide, that's why many tv reposrters from Europe and FIFA agents are keeping track of this team recently, interested in knowing how the transition has actually been in the past years from being at the bottom in the ranking to be in the third position currently sharing place with powerful and world-class teams like: Germany, Brazil and Spain and many others. Colombia is already in Brazil this means that there's an atmosphere full of emotion an much optimism in the air for the next year, in which thousands and thousands of Colombians will turn up to. Due to the short distance between both countries and the drught that people have had to deal with for over two decades almost. 

This time hopefully thing will be better than the previous ones, our team will stand out in this edition by getting throught the final stages in the cup. In addition we need something good to happen in our history to make up for the poor fame we have abroad. And, as weel as internally we need to prove that with support in sport and education things are better and everything could be changed. 

See You next year Brazil.

The British Library

The English language is spoken by one million and a half people worldwide. Including the native speakers, who have got English as a mother tongue, and also adding the English learners from all around the globe, who are adding English as an additional language. This makes Ensligh to be on top of the most spoken languages in the world.

The British library located in the center of London, It's one of the biggest, important and richest library in the world. Because,  in there are documents, magazines, music and important manuscripts, which contribute to the language history. This library has devoloped in an impressive way, every single year there are three-million-new items added to the library. Occasionating the library to be modified by putting up twelve kilometres of shelves. 

Roger Walches the head of the library, points out that the English language has suffered great varities throughout the history, there's a book which was the fisrt book ever printed in history by Willian Caxton. Hen went on to print the Chaucer's Carterbury Tails, The first bestseller in the English history. One of the most singular chatacteristics about it. Was, the fact that he wrote this book, without a dictionary and a grammar guide, there are many words miswritten in that book. For instance:"French", was written "Frensshe" or "Frenshe".

Another courious detail is that there's a book written in 1867, that contains SMS abbreviation like:"I wrote 2 U B4". Something that has been used since that remote epoc in history.And, it's foressen like the new English style nowadays, pople on internet "the youtube's commentary board, chat rooms and mobiles's chats". Something that keeps on growing worldwide. Even old and traditional people have caught on and are writting and using this abbreviations. This with any doubt, is the future of the English language.
