ELECTIONS. The statistics are clear; people in UK are not interested in politics. As we can see British people have lost their interest in politics during the years (1983-2001). If look at the chart the group who has less interest about politics are the 18-24 which is really significant because in 1983 nearly the 70% voted and in 2001 were only a 55%, we have also to pay attention that the people of the group 18-24 i n 1983 are now (2001) in the group of 45-54 and its participation have grown since they have voted for the first time. Apart from looking to percentages what we must search is the reason for not being interested in politics, mostly when politics control our way of living, and the way we relate with the others, because if the political atmosphere is good the society will life in a cordial ambiance but if that’s not so cordial our relations with the others could be damaged. In conclusion, if politicians do not change their attitudes people would lose their interest and the result will be the chaos. CORRECTIOS AND ASSESSMENT

The statistics are clear; people in UK are not interested in politics. As we can see British people have lost their interest in politics during the years (1983-2001). If we look at the chart the group who has less interest in politics are the 18-24 one, which is really significant because in 1983 nearly 70% voted whereas in 2001 they were only a mere 55%. We also have to pay attention to the fact that the people of the 18-24 group i n 1983 are now (2001) in the group of 45-54 and its participation has grown since they voted for the first time. Apart from looking to percentages what we must search is the reason for not being interested in politics, mostly when politics controls our way of living, and the way we relate to others, because if the political atmosphere is good the society will live in a cordial ambiance but if that’s not so cordial our relations with others could be damaged. In conclusion, if politicians do n ot change their attitudes people may lose their interest and the result will be chaos.

**Ok- very good final observation** LETTER TO SUSHANT Hi Sushant, Glad to hear something from you, I must apologize for being late, but I’ve had so much work in the past few weeks that I couldn’t answer you. I’m really excited with your visit, e ven though I’m not from Valencia , I live in the countryside , and I’m going to plan so many activities than you might need more holydays after this trip. First we will start our tour at the city centre, plaza del ayuntamiento, estación del norte, the Carmen’s neighbourhood, etc. After that, it would be afternoon; we can go to Santa catalina and drink an orchata to recharge forces for the night. As you might already now Valencia is well-known for its night, there are a lot of discos and pubs so you might bring both comfortable and glamorous clothes. After that crazy day we must enjoy one of the most visited places of Valencia, the beach, where we can also enjoy a typical dish, the paella. When does your plane land ? Tell me and I would be there for picking you up. Best wishes and good travel. Roberto. CORRECTIOS AND ASSESSMENT LETTER TO SUSHANT Hi Sushant, Glad to hear something from you. I must apologize for being late, but I’ve had so much work in the past few weeks that I couldn’t answer you. I’m really excited with your visit. E ven though I’m not from Valencia - I live in the countryside -, I’m going to plan so many activities that you might need more holidays after this trip. First we will start our tour at the city centre, plaza del ayuntamiento, estación del norte, the Carmen’s neighbourhood, etc. After that, it would be afternoon; we can go to Santa Catalina and drink an orchata to recover our energy for the night. As you might already know, Valencia is well-known for its night life : there are a lot of discos and pubs so you may bring both comfortable and glamorous clothes.
