Announcement of the launch of the new volunteers group!!

We're going to do volunteering works to help our community. In that way we can raise money and then donate it to communities in need in other countries.

We will meet all Fridays in the west park and our goal will be to clean the grass, the playground areas and the lake zone. To be part of this project you only have to be 16 or older and you have to be responsible and polite.

When we finish we will take the rubbish to a recycling plant and they will give us some money for it. We will post information and some pictures and videos of the process in our social media.


Ex 3, page 47

Writers are normally focused in spreading their works and knowledge as much as possible, that's why they have started using blogs. Blogs allow them to write short or long texts and to choose between multiple topics. It also allows them to reach a lot more people than if they sold physical books.

From my point of view, blogging is a very useful tool for starter writers and people who use writing as a hobby,but, if you want to become a famous writer you will sometime have to change and start writing in paper, because people who are keen on lecture usually prefer physical books.
