E-MAIL TO THE TEACHER

 BEFORE:
My name is Marina Carrillo and I’m 16 years old. I live in a little village called Sant Miquel de Fluvià, situated in Alt Empordà. I used to live in Barcelona but I moved here when I was 5 years old. Some things I like are hanging out with friends, watching movies and videos on Youtube, making exercise and spending my time with my family, friends and boyfriend. There are not many things that I don’t like.
Last year I studied 4th ESO. It was a good year because I was in the same class that my friends were in, I took good marks and it was fun overall. Apart from 4th ESO, the rest of high school years were just as good, though also a bit difficult.

This year I started Batxillerat. I’m so scared because I think that this year will be so much harder than the previous ones and I want to take the best marks possible so it’s easier for me to access University. It also feels different because the classmates have radically changed and I miss my friends. 

AFTER:

Dear teacher,

Obama 'heartbroken' as White House employee killed


SUMMARY:

This news is about a thirty-four-year-old boy, Jake Brewer, died in a charity bike ride to conquer cancer event. The accident happened because he lost control of his bike in a sharp curve and was hit by a vehicle. 
President Obama said that he devoted his life to empowering people and makinig fovernment work better for them. He also said that Mr. Brewer had a brilliant mind, a big heart, and an insatiable desire to give back. Finally Obama said he annf his wife would be praying for the Brewer family and he also adding that they'll always have a family in the White House.
Mary Katharine Ham, his wife, posted the news on Instagram and said that he was so important in her life and also said that Jake made the absolute, ever-lovin' most of his time with all of us.


PERSONAL OPINION:

In my opinion Jake Brewer was a hero. I guess that few people wouldn't did the same of Jake because actually a lot of people are very selfish and just think of them, but Jake did a lot of things for people, for example, he worked on a number of initiativeswith the aim of using technology to improve people's lives. This news has made me see that we all have to do things to improve the world.
