Thanks so much for your last email. In addition, I have been thinking about what you told me and I have found a suitable place for you.

I have read that it is a trip for daring people, who are not afraid of changes or surprises. It is also a group trip and you have always liked that.

Every day they travel by road, they make different stops with spectacular landscapes, the tasks are done in groups and each time is different one, and I think they sleep in tents.

I recommend that you take some food with you on the trip and a notebook, it would be nice to write everything down like in a diary.

Let me know what you think of the idea.

2. SPEND IT IMMEDIATELY

Vocabulario clave: so young, crime, secure, the poorest youngsters, loans and credit cards, tempted, life skills.

Subject: A financial course for teenagers

Dear Head of School,

I am writing to you about the financial course for teenagers to give you my opinion.

First of all, I'm working part-time while I study, so I don't earn much money, although in the summer I usually work overtime.

The problem is that the money I earn, I waste. And when the end of the month comes, I haven't been able to save anything.

I think we could really use this course, not only for money management but also because I think we will learn life skills.

I hope my opinion will help you.

Yours faithfully,

3. POTENTIAL EMPLOYERS

Vocabulario clave: to different environments, downside, travel insurance, two months, particularly negative experiences, host family, night-life.

Subject: My experience working abroad

Hi Edu,

I hope you are well. I am writing to tell you about my experience working abroad. My new workplace is in the UK, and I have a very diverse team. My colleagues are friendly and have helped me adapt quickly.

Although the pace of work is similar to Spain, I have noticed some differences, such as the more relaxed approach to schedules and the value placed on work-life balance.

The tips in the article you sent me about the importance of patience and communication have been very helpful in my adjustment.

I'll let you know how I'm doing.

A hug,

4. CHARITY

Vocabulario clave: rewarding, make a difference, up to date, charities and projects, more than double, sacrifice, friends and family.

Subject: Let's do something together to raise funds!

Hi Edu!

I was thinking we could use JustGiving to raise funds for a charitable cause. This platform is great because it allows you to easily create campaigns, share them with friends and family, and track progress in real time.

We could organise a charity run, a bake sale or even a virtual event like a video game tournament. I am sure that together we could do something really fun and at the same time help others.

Do you have any other ideas or suggestions? I'd love to hear from you.

A hug!
