Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to enquire about the building of the new auditorium in our town.

Campo de Criptana is a town in the middle of La Mancha. There are a lot of interesting places in the town, for example the windmills, the parish church, and other monuments. We have a theatre too, but it is too small. When there is a concert, the musicians there are very uncomfortable because the stage is very small. For that reason, we would like to build a bigger auditorium. In this auditorium we could present concerts, theatre plays and operas.

I would be grateful if you could send me information about the future auditorium and its construction.

Yours faithfully,

La Filarmónica Beethoven de Campo de Criptana

Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves

Letra de la canción

1. Now there was a time when they used to say that behind every great man there had to be a great woman. But in these times of change, you know that it's no longer true. So we're comin' out of the kitchen, 'cause there's something we forgot to say to you.

Chorus: We say sisters are doin' it for themselves, standin' on their own two feet and ringin' on their own bells. Sisters are doin' it for themselves.

2. This is a song to celebrate the conscious liberation of the female state.

Mothers, daughters and their daughters too, woman to woman we're singing with you. The inferior sex has got a new exterior.
Everybody take a look around.

Can you see? Can you see? Can you see there's a woman right next...
