Sarah describes her town
"Hello guys! This is my home town, Cartagena. It is near the coast, in the south of Spain. In Cartagena, there are a lot of things to do. For example, do you like archaeology? Then, you can visit its beautiful Roman theatre and its museum. Do you like shopping? There are lots of shops in the city centre and also in the surrounding areas. Do you like tapas? There are some tapas bars near the port and a lot of good restaurants in other areas of the city, too.
However, there is a problem. There is a lot of traffic, so some people say that Cartagena is a noisy and polluted town. What do you think?
What about you? Do you live in a town or in a village? Are there a lot of activities to do there?"
Now read and listen to this tale and answer the question at the end of the story.
Around my neighbourhood /'neɪbəhʊd/ (barrio, vecindario).
Now, try these activities about the use of English.

What are you doing now?
In the photo she's modelling casual clothes by Calvin Klein. Naomi's wearing a grey jacket and matching grey top. She's wearing blue jeans too. For a perfect look, she's wearing a golden belt and some bracelets.
But Naomi is sophisticated. She never wears casual clothes when she isn't working. She prefers dresses and high-heeled sandals or boots."
In the text there are verbs in red and verbs in purple. Which verb forms are these? When do we use the verb in the red form? When do we use the verb in the purple form?

A Haunted House
UPDATE...(Actualización)
I live in a big dark house near the main road. The house has ten windows and seven of them overlook the garden. In the garden there is a big fountain with fish and a small swimming- pool.
On the ground floor there is a hall, a kitchen, a living room with lots of photos on the walls, a dining-room, a bathroom and a study room with hundreds of books in a giant bookcase. Upstairs, on the first floor, there are three bedrooms, a small toilet and bathroom.
This house is very cold because it hasn't got central heating. It's also dirty because it has lots of spiders and dust.
Strange things happen at night...
Be careful with monsters and try to do these activities.
