What do you think are the most serious problems that affect your country? Name 3 situations and
place them in order from most important to least important and explain why you consider each to
be affecting your country or city. (120 - 150 words)

 I think that what affects our country the most today is:

1. the health problem in hospitals.

the increase in patients with illnesses of Covid 19, which would be headaches, coughs, fever and
flu. They cause a commotion in the hospitals.

2. education problems.

I consider that it affects my country because today we can not live with out education,
especially during the pandemic, but during covid 19 many of us were left without studies,
causing damage to young people.

3. increase in unemployment during covid 19 illnesses.

I consider that it affects my country because it is my generation that is in danger. Since it


would end up hurting the job opportunities in the future of young people like me.

Speaking 2:
the five things that can affect my feelings are tests, homework, passing courses in my career,
boring activities and playing sports.

 the exams

when I feel happy and they tell me that later I have an exam for example: when I am happy for
my birthday but on the same day I have an English test.

 Tasks

I don't like piling up homework during the week as it makes me feel angry on the weekends.
 approve courses of my career

It makes me very happy that after 6 months of study I see a passing grade at the end of the
cycle.

 boring activities.

for example board or role-playing games, they stress me out because I don't like to wait.

 the sport

I really like soccer since I like to be active during my free time and that makes me very happy.

You were invited by a good friend to a meeting but you will not be able to go! write to your friend
explaining why you won't be able to go. Give reasons for which you will not be able to attend.
Explain what you will miss the most about this get together.

 Hello friend, good afternoon, thank you for inviting me to the meeting of classmates for
Christmas but I will not be able to attend because I have many accumulated tasks of the
institute cycle, also because I have to take care of my family in times of pandemic and I do not
want to make them sick with fever , cough, flu that are symptoms of covid 19 in addition to
other diseases such as head pain, stomach pain and also because I have to take care of my
mother who has back pain that is why I will not be able to go to the meeting. I will miss meeting
with everyone as in the past and talking as we always do in the classroom

Speaking 3:
Describe everyday activities that people do when they go to town. Mention the things you prefer
doing and don't like doing when going to town. explain why.

When I go to the city I would like to go sightseeing to explore a new place, I would also like to visit
its restaurants to eat food that I have never tried where I come from, I also want to visit its central
square to see how much difference I can find with respect to the place where I come from and I
also like its attractions and tourist places that the big city can have along with the great job
opportunity that where I come from there is not much.

But what I would not like would be to find the negative things like theft or corruption in such a
beautiful city, I also do not like the great pollution that I see in the city or its high prices and the
noise that is in the city.

Speaking 4:
An experience that had an impact on my life, was the death of my grandfather in 2004 in the
month of February when I was a 4 year old boy, almost on my birthday at that time, he died of a
disease that affected his lungs. At that time I was at school, so they did not want to worry me and I
did not know about his death until they told me later, when I found out that I could not contain my
sadness since I really wanted to see him and had a lot of love and affection for my grandfather
who would be my mother's father, I always played in the street or in the Huáscar park that is near
my house.

And an unfinished event that I would like to end would have been to be able to say goodbye to my
grandfather at that time since I did not even know about his illness since he was too young to
understand it.
