An informal letter or e-mail

Hi there! How’s it going? I haven’t heard form you for a long of time! I’m writing from the hotel room in Bangkok. This is the paradise. I’ve traveled all over China and Thailand and now, I’m going to Australia. The best place I’ve been is Hong Kong. I love Hong Kong! It is a cosmopolitan and beautiful city, but is very stressful because there are many people, it is a city like New York. When we get to Australia, I will go to Surfers Paradise, a very touristic town where you can go surfing. The last stop will be in Sydney, where I will stay for a week and then, return to Spain. Well guess what you are right, Mum. And sister? As always? Where is she? Has she arrived to Lima? I look forward your news. Write soon, See you on 24th!!! I love u. PS: Take care of my room, you can’t get in. Albert.

A frigtening encounter

Last week, I had an experience that I’ll never forget. I was in New York with my friends. We were walking at night in the Bronx district.  It was very cold. While we were going home, three men appeared dressed in black in the middle of the street.  We turned around and started running but the men caught us. We were gun pointed and they took us to a very small park and told us to give them all the money and the valor objects that we got.  We gave them everything, and they let us go away. The police caught them and returned the objects to us. That night I couldn’t sleep and now, I can’t forget this horrible experience.

How has air travel change the way people spend their holidays?

Previously, very few people could travel abroad because there wen't any means of transport such as aircraft, or it was too expensive. People went tu nearby places such Salou or Tarragona. They had to take other transportation like the train, the transport of the poorest people the most used at that time, or car, but very few people had one, because it was too expensive. Today, everything has changed. Now many air companies offer a lot of flights for very little money. You can go to the other side of the world in less than 24 hours. However, in the past you spent days and days before you arrived and you had to go by boat and it was much slower.
