The Opera of Paris is a great Opera where every night we can find amazing shows but not only, we can also find there a ghost who hunt every night the Opera. The entire artist who work there fear him but this ghost has a feeble point, he is in love of the most great singer of the Opera, Christine Daée, who has been taught by him how to sing well. Christine thought that the ghost was the angel of music, who was narrated in the stories of his father. But the night when Christine made a success on stage, her childhood friend, Raoul, was there. When she saw him she fainted, after that she didn't want to recognise him, because she knew that the ghost love her and if this ghost, whose name is Erik knew something about the love between she and Raoul, he will kill him. After this night Christine send a letter to his lover to explained to him all this strange story, but the ghost discovered the relationship and get angry, he threaten her that if she don't marry him he will burn the all theatre.

My dear Sarah

You know that you're one of my best friends, and that we usually have a great fun together, but if I'm writing to you today it's to tell you something that unfortunately I'm not able to tell you face to face.
Well, in fact I have a big problem with you, you're a good person but you spend your time complaining, sometimes when we discuss you0re only explaining your problems, which they have no solutions. I mean that you're always talking about you, you want to be the centre of the attention and most of our friends are unable to stand you anymore. You need to see further that yourself. I'll add that you're too jealous, for how long have you been accusing me a relationship with your boyfriend ? which it's not true and you know it. So please try to change a bit your behaviour cause our friendship depends on it and if you continue this way I'm sure that pour relationship will break.
Before ending I want to tell you that we all have our bad and good sides so I'm not judging you, I'm just giving you an advice which in my opinion could help you in the future.
See you later,
Bye

Dialogue with a farmer

Hello, my name is Linda and today I'll try to talk about a topic which is less questioned, which is the difference between the jobs people used to do before and now.
In our modern times, there is no place for ( traditional jobs) like Shepherd or farmer, those works which made and cared the first materials to produce food. If you ask most youngsters what they'll want to do in the future they will probably tell you: a singer, and actor or a business man but few of them will tell you their dreams is to be a shepherd and carry the animals in the field.
Linda: what do you think Mr. Collins, when you were young did you want to be a farmer?
Mr. Collins: yes, sure. Actually all my family worked in the field, it became an old tradition. It was clear for me to be a farmer, I didn't have to choose or think a bout any other job.
Linda: but if your family was from the city and your father a lawyer would you work as a farmer?
Mr. Collins: well, I have to admit that I would probably make another thing.
Linda: so your family and the place you grew-up influenced your future, right?
Mr. Collins: yes, but anyway in my time being a farmer was a very important job, because without our work people couldn't have food.
Linda: do you think that the technology put this kind of jobs as an old and not trendy work?
Mr. Collins: Oh yes, I think that since technology appeared and helped to have a better life, people emigrate from the field to the city to work in the industry. And a lot of other jobs have appeared one after the other letting the most basic ones in the last position.
Linda: but this technology has also helped you to increase your production and make it better and healthier.
Mr. Collins: that's sure, as you know for my parents the work in the farm was very hard, they didn't have the tools and materials that we own now.
Linda: so we can consider that technology has been a good factor to progress in all the fields of life. And also our way of thinking.
