Question 7 (a story)
Task
- Your English teacher has asked you to write a story.
- Your story must begin with this sentence:
- Write your story in about 100 words on your answer sheet.
Example of answer
I felt nervous when the game began. I was one of the players and I wanted to be the best because I had practised a lot the previous week.
There was a total silence and I could only hear my own respiration.
I was walking alone in that small and deserted forest when, suddenly, I heard a shot near me. Immediately, I put myself behind a tree, I prepared my pistol and I shot, too.
It was fantastic because my paintball had reached my friend, Aurora, who was eliminated from that moment!
Then I said myself: 'I'll be the winner, I'm sure.'

- Write your story in about 100 words on your answer sheet.
Example of answer
Last week, I went to the zoo which is said to be the best in my country. I am used to visiting it once a year and I usually go with my friends or my family. This time, I went there with a friend whose name is Aurora and we went by an excellent day. The zoo is absolutely amazing and there are a lot of animals. We liked to see the white lion, the huge elephant and the colourful parrots but we could not see the monkeys because they had been really ill the previous week. Finally, we came back home extremely happy.

Question 8 (a letter)
Task
- This is part of a letter you receive from an English-speaking friend.
- Now write a letter answering your friend's questions.
- Write your letter in about 100 words.
Examples of answers
In answer to your last letter, I'm going to tell about an exciting activity I liked doing last week: ballooning. It's a fantastic experience because you can fly above the town or the country. You can see the landscape and the views are quite outstanding.
Earlier, as I wasn't used to flying so high, I was really frightened because the higher I was, the more vertigo I had.
But later, I felt incredibly free. The air was clean and I saw the clouds nearer.
I think that I'll repeat soon. Will you come with me the next time?
Lots of love,

Hi Nathan,
Since you asked me about an exciting thing I like to do for fun in your last letter, I've been thinking about it and I've just inspired myself! I like going bungee jumping!
Well, it's an amazing extreme sport which a lot of people love, and obviously, me too!
It’s performed in a high mountain. First, you arrive at the bridge and put on the equipment. It’s such a dangerous sport that you must wear helmet, safety ropes and protection glasses.
Then you only have to jump off the bridge! This sport's so good because you feel very crazy and excited while you're jumping off it! You're thinking all the time “I’m going to die, I’m going to die!” but you're truly alive!
I hope you like my loved extreme sport! You should try it!
All the best,
XXX
Thanks for your letter. It was great to hear from you.
This is just a quick letter to tell you about my last weekend which was really exciting.
My husband and I enjoyed doing canoeing on Guadalquivir river because it´s an absolutely fascinating activity.
We're not used to doing it, so we were completely wet all day. I recommend you do this activity because it’s not difficult but you should wear waterproof clothes.
Please, find attached a photo where you can see us. Do you fancy doing it?
Don´t forget to write soon.

Thanks for your letter. It was great to hear from you.
In your last letter you asked me to tell you about something exciting I like to do, didn't you?
Well, what I most like to do is ride my motorbike. I've had a motorbike since I was 18 years old and I've always enjoyed it.
I love travelling by motorbike because it makes me feel free and relaxed. Riding on a motorbike is amazing. You can feel the wind on your face and you have to use your whole body to drive it.
So, if you want to feel that, I can teach you!
All the best,

Hi Lidia,
It's great to hear from you. My favourite restaurant is an Italian restaurant, which is near the beach, called 'Pizzeria Don Carlo'. This restaurant is said to be the best restaurant in my city, because the food is very good. I like its pizzas and salads, which are really tasty.
The more I go there, the more I like it, as the service is absolutely excelent, too. Last week I went with a friend who hadn't been there before. He liked it so much as well. You and I will go there when you come to Málaga. I hope your visit soon.
Give my love to everybody.
