**__BOOK REVIEW (First Term)__**

= **__DIARY OF A WIMPY KID__** =

“Diary of a wimpy kid” is a realistic fiction novel in cartoons by Jeff Kinney. The book is supposed to be the diary of a child named Greg who is the main character. He tells us his school days and family life and the humorous anecdotes that he and his best friend Rowley live through everyday. The author tries to relate the funniest part of being a kid and, from the start to finish he achieves to hold the reader's attention with the cunning of Greg and the innocence of Rowley. The most I like in the book are the crazy ideas that the couple of friends have along it and also, the fact that it is very simple to read and the style is accessible. Actually, you can read it in one go. The vocabulary is easy to understand. In addition, there are some idioms and new words that we studied in the first term and therefore, it can be useful to fix the vocabulary learnt. The only problem I could stress is that the story is a bit short and I really would have liked to have more pages to read. Even so, I am still thinking that this book is very likable. Finally, I definitely recommend it because it is enjoyable and you will pass a good time reading it. If you don’t want to be bored stiff you will choose it. You will finish laughing and thanking me for my advice.

**__WRITING (WB UNIT 4)__** The chart makes a comparison of the percentage of people, divided into six age groups, who voted in the UK parliamentary elections in 1983 and 2001. The turnout for the elections has considerably decreased from 1983 to 2001 in all the groups, except for the last one. This group is represented by voters greater than or equal to 65 years. In this case, the amount of electors was slightly higher in 2001, remaining almost constant.

The representation of the youngest people has never risen to 80% and moreover, it hardly reached the 50% in 2001. On top of that, the 35 to 44 age group has also undergone a sudden fall. Lastly, the intervention of the groups between 45 and 64 years has gone down much less than the others, staying near 80%.

To sum up, the statistics show that there was a lack of interest or a huge dejection in 2001 elections in comparison to 1983, overall among young voters. This might be because people got tired of the political system and thereby a lot of the citizens decided to abstain.

**__WRITING (WB UNIT 1)__**  Hi Sushant,

 I’m really excited you are coming on holidays to my hometown. As you should know, you are invited to stay at my house. I don’t accept a negative answer.

 The only difficulty is that I won’t be able to pick up you at the station, I’m sorry for that. Anyway, it’s easy to arrive at my house from the train station. You should take a bus that you’ll find in front of the station. You don’t have to be worried about where you should get off because my sister will be waiting for you at the corresponding bus stop.

 You are right to stay the weekend here so you can visit interesting places. There is a lovely city park and an amazing medieval castle. I bet you’ll enjoy the architecture immediately. Moreover, it’s going to be celebrated the local carnival by the time you remain here precisely. You’re lucky since the atmosphere is honestly delightful!

 Finally, I recommend that you bring casual clothes like T-shirts, skirts, shorts and trainers. In any case, we can go shopping to buy what you need. I hope I have helped you. You can call me whenever you want to ask me questions.

 Kind regards,

 Ana
