the questions.
Melanie M.
I’m a big fan of Netflix!
I love sitting on my sofa and watching films on
Netflix. I hate watching films when I am in my
bed because I always fall asleep very easily.
I like all kinds of films. There are so many on
Netflix: romantic films, drama, thrillers and a
lot of series too, but my favourites are animated
films and comedies. When my friends come
home to watch films with me, we always order
sushi and ice cream from a nearby take-away
shop. We usually eat sushi really fast because
it’s delicious, but we have ice cream after the
end of the film. We really enjoy talking about
the film and eating ice cream at the same time.
One of the films we love watching is Despicable
Me 2. In this film, the main character, called
Gru, and his three adopted girls are now a
happy family. Gru is an ex-villain who works
very hard to find and capture bad guys who
want to do harm and create chaos on the
planet. Gru and Lucy, his partner, work very
well together and they end up falling in love
and getting married. Gru is definitely one of
our heroes because he always solves problems
really fast to defend our planet, and he is also
a loving husband and father.

New message
Recipients: Mum and Dad CC CCO
Subject: Greetings from Southern Italy
Hi Mum and Dad,
I hope you’re doing well. Here we are with
my friend Sarah in Positano, a lovely town in
the south of Italy. This country is fascinating.
Everything is so amazing and people are really
nice and talkative. We have fun every day. We
are renting a flat. It is very comfortable. It’s got a
balcony with a view of the sea. It’s morning now
and Sarah is at the beach. I can see her from the
balcony. She is swimming in the sea. Sarah gets
up early every morning and goes out for a walk.
I hate getting up early and I don’t like going for a
walk in the morning. I’m on holiday after all! At
the moment, I’m sitting on the balcony. I’m having
a big cappuccino, some fresh fruit and toast. And
I’m writing this email on my tablet.
We’re very happy because the weather here is
fabulous. It never rains and the sun shines every
day. It’s so different from England. Sarah and I
have very different routines during the morning but
in the afternoon we usually visit different tourist
attractions together. In the evening, we go out for
dinner and then we meet other tourists at a pub.
We’ve got a friend from France called Thierry.
He lives in Paris but he has a summer job here,
so he’s living in Positano for some months. And
today is an exciting day because it’s Thierry’s
birthday, so we’re organizing a surprise party in
our flat for him.
I’m attaching a photo of Sarah and me at the
beach. Sarah is jumping high – crazy girl. I’m not
because I’m taking the selfie.
I miss you a lot!
Take care,
Rachel
