7.- Unit 8: Happy Ending

This last year, things weren't going to well for me. I'd arrived to Australia and the airport staff had also lost my packs. I was so upset and scared at the same time. Then I got to my new residence in the University and my room partner was really rude and the room looked grouse so I spent a lot of time trying to change from my room.

Everything changed for me the day I saw a beautiful girl with blond hair and blue eyes. From that moment my world had changed, she was perfect. Then I started meeting her on the University cafeteria until the day of my life arrived. She asked me to be her boyfriend.

These months, I feel much happier. Being with her by my side had made me see that sometimes you are happier if you are positive. If I hadn't moved to Australia, I'd never met the woman of my life.

6.- Writing unit 7

Writing unit 7: Write an opinion essay

The government plans to introduce a new law which will introduce school on Saturday mornings in order to improve the level of education. In my point of view, this would have some negative consequences.
In the first place, I believe that the weekends are for a reson: to relax. If the children and the teenagers have to go to school on Saturdays morning it’s possible that some of them don’t have time to do other things like, sports, or do our homeworks. So if this law is introduced, i’ve no doubt that a lot of them will have more difficulty to pass the exams and practise sports or haveing a relax moment ot the weekends. I also think that this would discriminate agianst the students that they’re getting good marks.

If the aim of the government is to lower the number of the students that don’t pass the exams, it seems to me that there is a better alternative: if they spend more money on more schools and teachers in the country would get better results.

2.- HONDA:


I have chosen the company Honda because I am interested in motorbikes and I have got a Honda motorbike.
Honda Motor Company is a Japanese multinational corporation primarily known as a manufacturer of automobiles and motorcycles.
Honda has been the world's largest motorcycle manufacturer since 1959 and it produces more than 14 million engines each year.
Honda's founder, Soichiro Honda, was born on 1906 and died on 1991 and he was a mechanic. He tuned cars and entered them in races.

The first production automobile from Honda was the T360 and on 1991 they introduced the Honda NSX, a new supercar, the first all-aluminum vehicle that incorporated a mid-engine V6.

Honda is the largest motorcycle manufacturer in Japan and has been since it started production in 1955.
During the 60s, when it was a small manufacturer, Honda broke out of the Japanese motorcycle market and began exporting to the U.S.
One of the best motorcycles of Honda is the Honda SH 125 but there are a lot of different models, for example the SH 150, or the SH 300.
Honda started competing with motorcycle races in 1982, when Honda Racing Corporation was formed. The first victory of this team was on 1961, when Mike Hailwood won his first Grand Prix in the 125 and 250 cc classes.
In 1979, Honda returned to Grand Prix motorcycle racing with the motorcycle NR500 and on 1983 Honda won their first 500cc Grand Prix World Championship with Freddie Spencer. After that Honda was the dominant marque in motorcycle Grand Prix racing winning all the prices with riders like Mick Doohman and Valentino Rossi.
The last Grand Prix of Honda was won last year for Marc Marquez, who wins the 125 and 250cc too, and his partner, Dani Pedrosa ended second.

In conclusion Honda is a very successful company which is famous world wide.
