What’s the scariest story you know? My scary story is a true story. One morning, when I was seven years old, it was about 7 a.m. and I was in bed. I heard a noise. I was scared so I didn’t get out of bed. But then I heard the noise again. I wanted to shout to my mum but I didn’t. I stayed in bed and looked at the window. Then I saw … a ghost! It was really spooky and I was really scared. The ghost was a man. He moved his hands and said something. I didn’t understand him. Finally I shouted to my mum, ‘Help, Mum! There’s a ghost!’ She came into my room and started to laugh. ‘He’s cleaning the windows!’ she said.

Subject:London/Barcelona

Dear Jenny,

Hi! How are you? I’m really hot at the moment – it’s very sunny here in Barcelona. Is it hot in London too? I think the weather is usually hotter in Spain than in England – is that right?

Where’s your favourite place in London? My favourite place in Barcelona is the GaudiPark – it’s amazing! There are lots of really interesting buildings there. Why don’t you come to Barcelona and see them? We’ve got lots of good restaurants too. We can also go to the shops in the city. They’re great – you can buy lots of nice things.

Write soon, Manuel

Subject:London/Barcelona

Dear Manuel,

Thanks for your e-mail. In London it is always colder than in Spain, but I like it! I don’t like hot weather. We sometimes have hot days in summer.

My favourite place in London is Regent’s Park. London Zoo is in the park – I went there yesterday. I saw lots of interesting animals. We did lots of things in the park – we walked, played football, and took a boat out on the lake. How about coming to London? I can come to Barcelona in the summer and you can come here! What do you think?

Bye! Jenny
