Solar Panels

SOLAR PANELS It is generally accepted that light taxes are really expensive. This makes us to think about another ways for saving energy and money. It is well known that solar panels are a great option, because you save free energy, and in places like school are great, because you only use them at day. However, there are some disadvantages. It is said that they are really expensive, and if you buy them, you'll feed capitalism. In conclusion, there are some advantages and disadvantages, but, in my opinion, paying that amount of money is not worth at all.

Writing: My favourite invention.

My favourite invention was the camera, in 1886, by George Eastman. Which this, you could make photos without needing any knowledge of chemistry. George Eastman created the Eastman Kodak Company, with the slogan: ''You Press the Button, We Do the Rest!'' This was a great invention, because thanks to it, other people like Thomas Edison, the brothers Lumière or George Méliès could create their inventions.

Writing: THE REFUND Part 2 The revenge of the costumer.

To: www.mediamarkt@gmail.es                          Málaga From Spain.                                                         Sunday, 19 th of November, 2017. Dear Sir or Madam, I'm writing to complain about my new headphones I bought last week in your store. When I was going to test if everything worked well, I noticed that it was already used (because I realised that someone had written ''MARCOS'' there) and one ear was broken, too! I think fooling the costumer about reusing things and selling them as they were factory new is totally inappropiate for a big business like yours... Furthermore, I was shocked when I found it was completely broken. If your employees don't test if the product that another person sold to them is broken, that would be totally unacceptab...

Writing: My new friend.

Pag: 11. Ex: 8. Describe a time when you made a new friend. What were you doing when you met him/her? When I was 11 years old, I went to a new school. I used to be very shy, so I had no friends. I didn't used to play sports, so I was in other part of the playground. I used to love to talk about videogames, and then, one day, I met a friend in there: Alex. He didn't use to be very shy, but that wasn't a problem because we were good friends! He teached me something about the internet and I teached him about videogames.  We both didn't like sports! He used to be a funny person, always optimistic and a bit impatient, and if now I'm more talkative, is thanks to him. He had to move the next year, and we both didn't have phones, but a friend is never forgiven!
