On the day of our first concert, Monday, our manager brings children from different parts
of the State to sing with us, awesome, don�t you think? People expect to see a great show
and we certainly give them what they want. Viva Miami!!!!!!!!

Off line assignment

Write two short paragraphs about your hometown using Practice 11 (above) as a
guide. If you live in big city, describe your district or suburb (barrio). Send it to your
instructor before the next chat session.

I live in cucuta , a city with a spectacular climate, with very few job opportunities. It is a
city where you can find many places of recreation for its climate so heated, in the city there
are many shopping centers, cinemas and theaters. Many people come from other places to
buy.
Cucuta is the city of the border with venezuela, but at the moment everything is paralyzed
by the conflict between the countries. The government tries to improve the situation, but no
measures have been taken that are really the solution to the problem.
