Subject: Asking for a loan

To whom it may concern, 

My name is Lucía and I am 16 years old. I'm writing because I would like to ask for a loan so I can develop and release an app I have invented. At the moment I don't have enough money because I'm a student and I'm not working, so I'd like to borrow a little money to help me develop the app.

The app is called Agenda 2.0 and it will help people to organise their lives. People will be able to organise everything and they will find pages for students, for workers or a simple agenda for those that don't work, to name a few. People will be able to create their own pages and organise them as they want. In addition, there will be an option to share a page with some people so the same page can be used by more than one person.

The design will be simple and easy to use, and people will be free to customize it as they want. They will be able to change the xolours, the type and size of the letters and even create some tags depending on what they need. It would be so easy that everybody would be able to make their own personalised agenda!

Finally, I would like to pay back the money I borrow as soon as possible, if I could borrow the money, the app would be ready in a couple of weeks and I would start earning money in a few month's time.

Yours faithfully,

Lucía.

Writing 16: Telling a story

Hi Nerea,

How are things? You'll never guess what happened to me and my cousin last week! We were  going for a walk when, suddenly, we heard a noise. At first we didn't know what it was but, later, we realized it was a dog! It looked awful.

We didn't know what to do, so we decided to call our parents. A few minutes later, my uncle came and took the dog to the vet. The vet told us the dog must have been hit by a car. Amazingly, it only had a broken leg! It could have been much worse...Finally, my uncle decided to keep it. Its name's Rudy and now he lives with my cousin!

What's your news?

Writing 04: An email to a pen friend

Hi, Jake.

Thanks for your email. It's great to hear from you!

I live in a small town in the south of Spain, called Molvízar. It's an interesting place because it's near the beach, but it's also near the mountains. So, in summer, I go to the beach once or twicw a week. The weather is so warm and we do lots of outdoor activities like bike riding, boating or barbecues. I love the summer! But I like the winter, too. In winter, I used to go skiing with my family. In Spain, winters aren't as cold as in other countries like Norway or Sweden, but the weather isn't very warm so I prefer spending most of my free time at home doing activities like reading, drawing and listening to music.

Where do you live? What do you do there?

Best wishes,

Lucy

Description of a photo

Hi Albert!
Look at this magazine. There's a photo of my family in it! We're in Austria because we're on holidays. The woman in the red jacket is my mum, and the man who is next to her is my dad. They love skiing  and they taught me to ski when I was younger. My mother is holding my sister, Jamie. It's Jamie's first time skiing, and I taught her. It's strange, she hates cold but she loves skiing! The boy in the blue jacket and orange gloves is my brother, Ryan. He helped me to make the snowman you're looking at. It was so funny. At the beggining we can't decide what to put on the snowman, so we put it my scarf on. You can't see me because I'm taking the photo. I think that it should be better to put my mum's hat  or my dad's sunglasses on, but they don't want to take them off. They said that it's cold. But look at me! I'm freezing!
Call me later
Lucy
