Dear Jonathan,
How are you?

I'm writing to you because I would like to find out about what time is your flight so then I'll be able to pick you up at the airport.
When you get there you'll come across an underground station where you will have to get on and it'll take you at the entrance of the airport.
I'm going to wait for you just outside of the airport because it usually very crowded there!

I'll have to pick you up in my dad's car because my car broke down over a week ago and it'll be in the garage until next month. So, watch out for a big 4X4. The colour of the car is electric blue.
When we meet we will be ready to set off onto our trip to the mountains.

Hope to see you very soon.
Kind regards! Robin xxx

P.S: Remember to bring your mountain boots!

FORMAL DIALOG

3rd film; Hancock!

Hi! So today I’m going to talk about a film that I saw with Clara, so she will probably talk about it to! So don’t be surprised if she does…

I’m going to talk about a film called Hancock, it’s not a very old film and it came out recently in the summer. The main character in this film is a very famous actor called Will Smith and he’s got the power of a superhero.
Hancock is no ordinary superhero. He’s different from all the others just because he’s not the typical hero that saves the day, quite the other way around, he does save people in trouble but he doesn’t seem to respect society or the damage he does to the city, he’s a free man and he does what he wants.
He doesn’t wear an outfit and he is all day drinking bottles of whisky so when he flies into the sky he doesn’t really seem to go that straight.
Everyone in the city hates him because he doesn’t really help anyone he is just more trouble than needed in the city causing a lot of damage making the economy go down because they spend millions of dollars of damage every time he does something.
The problem with Hancock is that he feels alone because he is the only one of his kind that lives in planet Earth and he doesn’t have any kind of communication with anyone else but him self.
He also doesn’t really know who he is, he doesn’t know the purpose of him being there, he thinks to him self; Am I a God? An Angel? Or am I a Superhero? What am I? ..

Everything gets better when he comes across a man that he saves, he is a business man and he is trying to change the world for all the poor countries. This man is very polite to him and he invites him to have dinner at his. Once Hancock is there, he doesn’t get a good impression from the man’s wife (something between them is weird)! He does have a good bond with the man’s child. The child thinks the world of Hancock, like the best man in the world.
The man has a plan. Help Hancock being a better person and then that would help the man’s dream come true, so he does. The man makes Hancock go into prison and there he teaches him how to be a respectful hero and he even gets a costume for him that he first denies but then accepts, the people start to like Hancock

As the film goes on we realize that Hancock and the man’s wife, in the past had a life together thousands of years ago because they are immortal and they never ever get old. The woman was Hancock’s past wife and they both have the superpowers. Hancock cannot remember the past because 80 years ago, they beat him up so hard that he fell unconscious and once awake at the hospital he didn’t recognize the woman, so she left him there.
When they’re together they become immortal, and that allows them to live a normal life, the can love and grow old like normal people.
The film ends that Hancock is beaten up again and shot down by some criminals and like he is close to the woman he becomes mortal, Both Hancock and the woman start to die because what ever happens to Hancock happens to her as well…
The film ends when they are about to die, Hancock gets up and starts to run, jump and fly away from her in a lot of pain, but every step he takes the more life he gains because the further apart they are to each other the more immortal they become.

I really enjoyed this film; I think that it was great because it was very different from all the other superhero films and Will Smith made it very funny.

'Coral lab' offers acidity insight

CO2 emissions are harming the world’s big oceans and most importantly the greatest coral reefs of the world. The acidity of the water has gone up to 7.9pH this means that many corals will die because of it. They are experimenting in laboratories is they can survive a high concentration of acidity. Some species of coral do seem to keep on living but the majority dies. That’s what the scientist worried about, they calculate that in 2025 many corals will end up dying and therefore many animals will die. They are trying to tell the government to cut down CO2 emissions.

Deep water fish decline concerns

There has been serious restriction of fishing in the East-North Atlantic because of the great decline of fish. There has been a study in Ireland of their stocks of fish since 1970 until 2006 and they recall that the great majority of deep sea fish, their numbers have decreased a great percent since the last decade. Also a lot of the times deep sea fishing catches fish not needed and kill them for nothing. Some fish live a 100 years and they don’t reproduce and they are coming to an end. Finally, our oceans are coming to an end and their species are threatened to disappear.

Poached skins matched to tigers

A new device has been invented by the English and the Indian that is able to identify individual tigers by their stripes and patterns. It was originally used to see the marks of the seals. With this 3D device they are able to identify by computer any tiger that they would like to know about. This device will make it easier for Scientist to estimate how many tigers are left in the world and how many of them have some kind of disease like AIDS.

Words learnt: laborious process, trip wires and discerning shapes.
