MY WORLD: PREPARING PET EXAM

TEXT 1

I like romantic films, comedy films... but I hate action films a lot because since I was little I hated blood. The reason why I like the romantic films is because I like the stories but for me it is better if there is drama. It's more interesting. I like romantic characters because they are perfect. My favourite film is "The Notebook" because it's very beautiful with a little bit of drama. I like the comedy films because I laugh a lot and are enjoyable. One comedy film that I like a lot is "Niños Grandes" the first and the second film. The las comedy film that I see is "The wolf of wall street".

MY WORLD: CHRISTMAS

I think that Christmas is the best time of the year. For me, it is very beautiful time to share with the family and friends. I really like this time of the year. People give and receive presents, they do hugs and kisses. People enjoy it, but the kids enjoy it a lot more because they think that these presents are brought by the Three Wise Men or Santa, depending on where you live. The cities are very beautiful because are decorate with lights. There is a big spirit of Christmas, people sing songs with the streets and more. People decorate their houses too.
