What place would you like to visit?
◦ A place I would like to visit. There are a lot of wonderful places I wish to visit. However, most of all
I would like to visit Hollywood and I have many reasons to do. Because I really want to see how the
films are made, meet famous actors and actresses and just have a good time.
◦ Firstly, Hollywood is famous place for making films there. For example, I like films and spend a
great amount of my free time watching new and old films, especially made in Hollywood. And
when the film attracts me I wish to know how the director made such wonderful and awesome
films, what kind of technologies he used, and how the actors made dangerous things. It seems to me
that the Hollywood is the best place to satisfy my interests in films.
Favourite place
◦ My favourite place has always been Grandma's house. My grandma's house has and always will
have a very special place in my heart. I spent many summers with my grandmother when I was
younger through my early teen years. Her house seemed to have something special about it that set it
apart from all the rest. It is just the little things that make Grandma's house so special to me.
◦
My grandma's house is a place of family gatherings. On holidays it is always full of laughter
and cheers. My grandma can always be seen sitting in her living room, next to the front door gazing
out of her window. This is where she reads her daily newspaper and drinks her hot black coffee with
no sugar and no cream, the old fashion way she calls it. She sometimes sits in her living room for
hours upon end watching the birds swoop down to the bird feeder placed next to the window.
To be
◦ The verb to be is a key verb in English, playing a major part in many types of
constructions, as in all other European languages ( etre in French, sein in
German, ser/estar in Spanish). It has many usages and meanings, both as
a main verb and as an auxiliary verb. It also acts differently in negative
sentences and questions.
