WRITING: EMAIL TO AN INTERNET FORUM

Hi

My name’s Lia Rebordosa and I live in Buryfield in England. I like the area where I live, so I want to improve it.

In my opinion there are many problems. The causes are the young people spend all their time hanging around on the street. There are sometimes problems with vandalism and graffiti. There are a youth café in south London. But these not is a solution because there isn’t anywhere for you people to go. There aren’t any facilities for them.


I think the solution is a local of young people with games, painting…

WRITING THE WHALE SHARK

The animal in this photo is a whale shark. Some people believe that whales are the biggest animals in the sea. This is not true. The whale shark is the largest fish in the world, which reaches approximately 12 metres.

The whale shark is found in tropical and warm oceans and lives in the open sea with a lifespan of about 70 years. Whale sharks have very large mouths, and as filter feeders they feed mainly on plankton, which are microscopic plants and animals.

Contrary to popular belief, only a few sharks are dangerous to humans. Out of more than 470 species, only four have been involved in a significant number of fatal, unprovoked attacks on humans: the great white, oceanic white tip, tiger, and bull sharks. These sharks are large, powerful predators, and may sometimes attack and kill people. Although most sharks are carnivorous, whale sharks have evolved for filter feeding plankton and are inoffensive for man.

WRITING THE POLAR BEAR

The animal in this Photo is a polar bear. Polar bears usually eat seals.

Polar bears live in Arctic, Canada, Russia, Greenland and Norway. They live and hunt on the ice. Females have two cubs every four or five years. Adult polar bears are 750kg

The Arctic ice is smaller because the climate is changing. Pollution is a problem, especially oil. Humans hunt polar bears in some areas.
