Dear Milton,

Thanks for your letter. It was great to hear from you. You wanted me to describe a party in my country.

Recently, we held a party to celebrate the end of exams. The party was for everybody in our year (plus the teachers!) so we decided to hold it in a local disco called Black and Red. It started at about nine on Saturday evening and went on till after midnight.

There were about 60 people there altogether. Everybody was wearing casual clothes, mostly jeans and T-shirts. Except for some of the teachers who were wearing more formal clothes.

At first, people just sat around drinking soft drinks and chatting. Everybody drank soft drinks! After a while, the DJ put on some really great disco music and people started to dance. Even the history teacher got up and danced! Most people left at about one o'clock in the morning. It was a great party.

That's all for now. I look forward to hearing what parties are like in your country.

Lots of love,

Helen.

  1. Choose the right variant.

It is certainly true that reality TV programmes are very popular and lots of people watch them all the time. People talk about them and some of the people who 1 enter / appear / show / presentin them become famous, at least for a 2 little / small / tiny / short time. I don't like them 3 absolutely / at once / at all / completely and I think most of them are terrible.

Some people say that its good to see ordinary people on television because you learn a lot about other people's lives. For 4 instance / case / point / indication, some programmes show ordinary people doing their jobs and the people who like these programmes say that it's fascinating to see people doing their jobs. Probably the most well-known reality TV programme is different from that. It shows a group of people living 5 along / joint / together / shared in the same house. They're all strange people and fans of this programme say that it's really amusing to watch them arguing and 6 giving/ telling / speaking / letting their opinions on things.

I don't agree with these views. I think it's really boring to watch people doing their jobs and I don't want to watch a lot of strange people talking a lot of 7 mess / trash / jumble / rubbish and doing silly things. These people are attention seeking andthey want to be famous by being on TV. They look ridiculous 8 with / to / for /by me and I don't want to spend my time watching them. I think television programmes should be either entertaining or educational and reality TV shows are neither of these things. I 9 rather/ favour / prefer / fancy to watch programmes with good acting in them, or documentaries about important things.

In my opinion, reality TV shows are a 10 loss /ruin / waste /leak of time. I think they're just a fad and that people will soon get bored with them and then they'll disappear.
