THE PLOT



Write a summary ( 100 words)
In 1799, New York City police constable Ichabod Crane (Johnny Depp) is facing imprisonment for going against traditional methods and favoring forensic investigation techniques, such as autopsies, considered unorthodox and unimportant at the time. Ichabod submits to deployment with his bag of tools to the Westchester County of Sleepy Hollow, New York, which has been plagued by a series of brutal slayings in which the victims have been found decapitated: Peter Van Garrett , wealthy farmer and landowner; his son Dirk; and the widow Emily Winship. Arriving in Sleepy Hollow, Crane is informed by the town's elders that the killer is not of flesh and blood, but rather an undead headless mercenary from the American Revolutionary War who rides at night on a massive black steed in search of his missing head.

    What Makes a Good Friend?

    A good friend is supportive when you feel down, doesn't get bitter when you've fallen out, always says sorry if they were wrong. Also, he or she is responsiable and serious you need them to be, but just a little bit crazy when you need that too.


    Describe a Time When You Made a New Friends


    I met my friend Buba one year ago while I was stating in the hospital in the same room. He broke the leg and 3 fingers and I broke two arms. The second day that we were staying there, Buba ask me if I can help to put a sweater on but I couldn't, he said sorry. Then, we laughed and... we ended up being friends.

    FORMAL LETTER

    Hi Tom,
    How are you? What have you been doing since I saw you last? You won’t believe it, but I’ve been getting involved in the theatre school of Barcelona.
    I used to think the theatre was a waste of time, but I decided to go to the first class anyway. Well, I’m glad I did it because it made a real impression on me! We meet once week to prepare the shwws which will make a difference from the other theatre schools. Yesterday we’ve just finished my first actuation and it's been a big success, so I’m really pleased. Basically, theatre people do things to entertain the elderly people, the adults and young children.

    Has that ever happened to you? I mean, have you had an opinion about something but then got involved in it and changed your mind? It’s never happened to me before! I feel much more outgoing and confident now
    Anyway, I’ve got to go now, otherwise I’ll be late for our next class. Keep in touch!

    Take care

    Quim

    MY LAST SUMMMER

    Hi, today I’m going to talk about my summer holidays. First of all, I’m going to talk about mytrip to Lourdes, second I’m going to talk about 3 weeks in Ipswich, then, I'm going to talk about St Antoni de Calonge and finally, I’m going to talk about my last days of my summer.
    Well, in June I went to Lourdes with Hospitalitat de Girona to help different patients. In the morning, I got up at 5:45, I had breakfast and I went to wake up the pacients by singing them a song. Then, I did 091, that consisted to help the diferents services, for example, bring the pacients in the acts, look for the pacients during the act so I'm there if they need something, etc.. This experience was very beautifull because I’m helps the elderly people and the boys or girls with physical or mental problems and I made new friends around Catalonia.
    Then, I returned to Banyoles and one week later, I took a plane to go to Ipswich for 3 weeks to study English with my friends and the other people. I was in one home with 3 Italian girls students, and my host family, it was a elderly couple from Italy and they were generous people. In Ipswich I got up at 7:00 o’clock, I had a shower and I went to have breakfast. At 8:20 I took a bus to go to school. The lessons started at nine o’clock, and finished at one o’clock. Then, I had lunch the packed lunch. In the afternoon I had funny activities and sometimes, in the night, I had a activity. On the first Saturday we went to London and the second Saturday, we went to Cambridge, it was beautiful because the day that we went, it was a graduation day of universcity of Cambridge. Sundays it was a family day.
    I had a great time and I made many friends from around to the world.
    In August, I went to my family’s apartments in St Antoni to relax. I was there on the beach in the morning, and in the afternoon, I made different activities. It was the best time of summer.

    In September, I went to the Casa Nostra’s camp to make premonitory in the mornings.
