Birgit from Germany
I do something most nights. On Mondays and Wednesdays I go to an English class and on Tuesdays I usually go to the cinema with friends because the tickets are cheap then.
0n Thursdays I always go to the gym. I usually go out dancing on Saturday nights. I often get home at four or five in the morning, so on Sundays, I sleep!
I sometimes get up at three in the afternoon.
Frankie from the UK
Free time? I don't have any free time because I have my own business. I occasionally go to a rock concert – about once or twice a year - and I sometimes go shopping at the weekend. I like buying expensive things with the money I earn.
I have a really big TV and I have a very nice car.
Svetlana from Russia
I don't go out much during the week.
I usually study for two hours in the evening. I never watch TV, really.
I usually play the piano every day. It helps me to relax. Then I go to bed at nine or ten and read. At the weekend, I go out with my family to a park or the countryside, and we go for a walk.
I sometimes go to a shopping center with friends, but I hardly ever buy anything!

| Hi! Mauro, How are you? I hope you and your family are well. How was your trip to Korea? l'm sure it was great. Helena and I spent three fantastic weeks in lreland and had a really great time. We flew to Dublin, the capital, and spent a week there. lt's a beautiful city. We went sightseeing every day and saw all old buildings. Then in the evenings, we went out and enjoyed the nightlife. lt's a fun city! You'd love it. Next, we rented a car and spent two weeks driving round the country. lt's really beautiful I worried about the weather, but it was rain once. We stayed in little bed and breakfasts and met some really lovely people. My favourite place was the west of the country. We went walking in the mountains in County Mayo for a few days. It was lovely and quiet. We didn't see anyone on the first day! Anyway now we're back in Copenhagen and back at work! How was your summer? Did you go on holiday anywhere? Did you have a good time? Please write and tell me everything! Your friend, Nicklas |

On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas
Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance
I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
This could be Heaven or this could be Hell
Then she lit up a candle
And she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year
Any time of year
You can find it here
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted
Shes's got the Mercedes-Bends
She's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
That she call friends
How they dance in the courtyard
Sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember
Some dance to forget
So I called up the Captain
Please bring me my wine
He said
We haven't had that spirit here since 1969
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely Place
Such a lovely face
They're livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise
What a nice surprise
Bring your alibies
Mirrors on the ceiling
The pink champagne on ice
And she said
We are all just prisoners here
Of our own device
And in the master's chambers
They gather for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember
I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
Relax said the nightman
We are programed to recieve
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave

N: Would you like any more, Domi? Frank?
D: No, thanks. I'm really fu1l.
F: Me too, but it was lovely, Nicoletta. Really delicious. Would you like me to put the plates in the kitchen?
N: Thanks. Just put them in the sink. I can do the washing-up later.
D: So, how did you cook the potatoes? They were really, really good.
N: They're very easy to do. You just wash them, and then slice each one into five or six pieces. Put them on a plate and put some olive oil and some salt and pepper on them. Chop some garlic and add that and then roast everything in the oven for about 45 minutes.
F: And how about the lamb?
N: Well, you chop some onions and fry them for ten or 15 minutes - in butter. Then chop the lamb and some tomatoes and fry them for five more minutes. Add some salt and pepper - and it's ready to eat.
F: You make it sound easy.

Camels are found across north and east Africa, and the Middle East. In Kuwait, the camel is our national animal. Camels are very important for us: they can travel for days across the desert without food or water; they can carry more than horses can, and they are quieter and more intelligent as well.
Camels also provide milk. We believe the milk is very good for you
and stops you getting ill. Camel meat is eaten by some people too.
It's high in protein and low in fat. Camel skins are sometimes made into leather as well.
Camels also provide entertainment. Camel racing is very popular here, though people are now asking if it is right to use foreign children to ride them.
One problem with camels is that they can really damage your car if you hit them. That's why many cars now have camel radar – machines to tell you if camels are nearby!

The national tree of Brazil is called Pau Brasil. It is often said that we
took the name of our country from this tree. It grows up to 15 metres high and has lovely yellow flowers.
In the past, it was found all along the Atlantic coast, but there was
quite a big problem because lots of trees were cut down. The wood
from the trees is very beautiful - it's a lovely orange-red colour - and
it's very valuable. It's used to make bows - to play instruments like violins with.
A red dye was also produced from the tree and sold, but in the nineteenth century they started using chemicals to make these dyes
in factories. That probably saved the tree!
Pau Brasil has strong cultural, economic and historical importance
for us Brazilians. It's protected by law now and we really don't want to lose it.

1 I got the bus to work. I was lucky because there was a seat. I sat and read my book. It was quite a nice journey.
2 When I got to work, we had a meeting. The boss was quite angry.
He shouted a bit and told us we need to work harder. I was a bit upset, but I tried not to cry.
3 After the meeting, I sat and thought about everything I had to do.
I got a headache. I sent a few emails and tried to concentrate.
4 I had lunch with my aunt. She lives near work. She always makes me smile. I felt better after seeing her.
5 In the afternoon, I went to see some clients. It was a successful afternoon. I sold a few things, and it's always nice meeting people.
