Hello mother! This is Jaime, and I’m writing you this time from our
hotel to tell you about our vacation in Cartagena de Indias in Colombia.
My whole family is with me and we even brought our dog.
The weather isn’t very good today, in fact, it’s rather cold and cloudy.
The children are in their room playing cards and watching TV. Right now, it’s very wet and rainy.
My wife is in the restaurant eating lunch, but the food

here is very expensive, and it isn’t very good.
Our hotel room is nice. In spite of the broken bathroom

window, it’s air conditioned, has two beds, and a big flat
TV screen.
People from the hotel are saying that the weather is

uncertain because sometimes it’s sunny, cloudy, windy,
or rainy. We’re waiting to go to the beach.
Ok mom! I’m going to the beach with my children now

See you soon.

while you’re reading them.
SITUATIONS
1. Natalia is at home with her husband Nelson. It’s Wednesday,

and they’re planning to go to the movies. There’s a new horror
movie being released, and they want to watch it. They like
horror movies very much, but sometimes, Natalia feels very
scared when she watches them, and when she feels scared,
she never sleeps well; so Nelson, always has to go with her to
the bathroom, and they always have to sleep with the lights on.
2. My friend Marco is very intelligent; he studies English with me. He

feels upset when he doesn’t know how to do some of the exercises or
when he doesn’t understand a lesson. He always understands the
lessons. Sometimes people ask him for help, and he helps them; he
never says no to his classmates. He hardly ever needs help, but when
he needs it, I help him.
1. Alicia is Sad today, she’s crying and she doesn’t want to do

anything. Her boyfriend Frank is talking with her because he
wants to know why she is so sad. She is telling him she wants to
go out to the shopping mall, but she never has money. She says
she needs to buy a new jacket because her old jackets are dirty. She
never washes them because she doesn’t like to wash her clothes. Her mother always washes
them for her. Frank is surprised by this, and he thinks Alicia needs a psychologist.
3. My wife and I are very different. We always feel different and we always do
different things every day. When she’s sad, I’m happy; when she is thirsty,
I’m hungry; when I cry, she smiles; when I’m hot, she’s cold; when I want
to sleep, she wants to watch TV. I never understand her, and she never
understands me. She doesn’t want to buy a new house, but I do. She
always wants to buy a new pair of earrings and a new pair of shoes,
but I don’t want her too. As you can see we’re very different, but
I love her and she loves me.

MR. BUSY
Mr. Busy is not an old man, he’s a young man. Mr. Busy lives with his family in
Kansas City. He has a lot of things to do every day, but all the things he has to do
are the same day by day.
His day starts at 4:50 am when his alarm rings. He doesn’t wake up immediately. He sleeps 5
more minutes, and when the alarm rings for the second time, he gets up at once.
At 5:00 am, he goes to the bathroom to take a ten-minute cold shower; he says a shower with
hot water is not good for a busy day. At 5:10 am, he gets dressed. He puts on his underwear, his
pants, his socks, his shoes, and finally his shirt. It takes him twenty minutes to get dressed.
At 5:30 he goes to the kitchen and prepares his breakfast; he doesn’t like to have breakfast at
home, so he takes it to the university. Mr. Busy’s first class is at 6:00 am, but his teacher is in the
classroom by 5:55 am; he likes to be 5 minutes before the class starts to have everything ready to
begin the class.
At 9:25 am, Mr. Busy has breakfast at the university tables with his friends. His second class starts
at 10:05, and it finishes at 11:45 am. When he leaves the classroom, he immediately goes to the
cafeteria and buys his lunch, because he only has 20 minutes to eat.
When he finishes his lunch, he is ready to go to work; so he has to walk 7 blocks to get to the
metro station. From the metro station to his office, it takes him 35 minutes, and he must be in his
office by 12:45 pm; which means, he must run from the metro station to his office to be on time.
Mr. Busy works all day from 1:00 pm to 9:30 pm, and when he finishes his busy day at work, he
has to take a bus home; sometimes he gets the bus at 9:35 pm, and sometimes he gets the bus at
9:40 pm.
When Mr. Busy gets home, he greets his wife, daughter, mother, both brothers, and his sister.
His wife makes him dinner and they talk about their day while they eat together.
Every night, before going to sleep; Mr. Busy dedicates some time playing with his one-month old
baby girl; when she falls asleep, he writes some sentences in his English book.
Finally, Mr. Busy goes to bed at 11:45 pm every day. He’s very tired, but he loves what he does.
