Subject: Come to visit!!
Dear Fay,
Hi! How are you? How’s college? Glasgow is great. There’s so much going on here and people are so
friendly and funny. I’m really glad I chose to study here, the lecturers are really good and the course
is just what I was hoping it would be. The only thing that is difficult is waking up in the morning for
my art history class!
I’m staying in a University room this year. It’s perfect for my first year as everything’s easy. I have a
desk in my room and shelves for all my books, although I prefer to study at the library when I can.
There’s a university cafeteria with cheap food and even a ping-pong table and it’s only a ten minute
walk to go to my classes. I’m making friends with the girls on my floor, but so far the person I get
on best with is Katie, who is on my course. She’s really into rock climbing and we’re going to go
somewhere next weekend.
Even though I’m meeting lots of new people, I really miss you. I hope you can come and visit soon.
Why don’t you come up next weekend? I can show you around town, I think you’ll like it here! Then,
we can go rock climbing together. It’ll be great!
Anyway, let me know if you can come and tell me your news!
Take care,
Manuela

and they stay open really late. It’s great when you need something fast! Plus, just a
couple of minutes down the road, there is a huge shopping centre. There are a lot of
great shops, and I have already bought a lot of things from there. It’s so close, you
can even walk there! I’m thinking about getting a job on campus. Maybe I can work
in the History Department. That way I can get to know my professors better!

Freedom Ship
Imagine a ship so big that it takes you fifteen minutes to walk from one end to the other, and is 240 feet tall. It
sounds like science fiction but a company called Freedom International is planning to build it.
Freedom Ship will not look like a ship, but a city on water. Today’s cruise ships will look very small next to it.
This ship will carry about 115,000 people, but it won’t be only for tourists. People will even live on it. This ship will
travel to different cities and tourist sights and it will always go to warm places around the world, so it will always be
summer.
The people on board will travel to the mainland on small boats, or even by plane as there will be an airport on
the top of the ship. There will also be a large shopping centre, three hotels, apartment buildings, a very big library,
a hospital, cinemas, theatre and sports centre. For those living on the ship, education will not be a problem as the
ship will provide education from preschool all the way through to university. Some people are already calling it the
eighth wonder of the world!

Money Savers That Work!

You've decided not to go on the round-the-world tour you planned for this summer and you
haven't bought tickets for every opera performance this year. Congratulations. You've saved quite
a lot of money! However, if you are just an ordinary person who can’t even imagine spending
money like that, you have to find other ways to save money.
To save money, most of us have to try to spend smaller amounts on things we buy every day and
on services (telephone, mobile phones, Internet, etc.) every month. The hard part is to find ways to
spend less money that won't change your life completely. The list below has some ideas about how
to save money that really work. Here are ten money savers that won't change your life but they
will change your bank account!
1. Slow down! A car going 40 mph uses 15% less gas than one going 50 mph.
2. Don't drive; walk or ride a bike. You'll save gas (and it's better for your health!).
3. Don't buy more than what is on your shopping list. If your daughter needs new shoes, don't buy
that nice dress that matches them (even if it's on sale).
4. Think twice before you get a mobile phone with a two-year plan. You may get a cool phone and
the plan may sound good, but in the second year you will probably be able to get a better price
somewhere else.
5. Put all your change in a box and save it for your summer holiday.
6. Wash clothes in warm water, not hot. You'll use 50% less energy and save money.
7. Make your own iced tea. You can give it extra flavour by adding fruit juice.
8. Stop extra phone services: three-way calling and call-waiting can add to your bill.
9. Eat breakfast at home. Almost anything you eat will be cheaper (and healthier) than fast food.
10. Don't buy that new CD or that new pair of shoes that you like so much (if you don't really need
them).
1. It is not possible for most people to save money.
2. The list shows how you can save money and change your life.
3. When you drive at 50 mph, you use 15% more petrol than when you drive at 40 mph.
4. If something is on sale but it's not on your list, you shouldn't buy it.
5. You can save money if you eat fast food for breakfast.
