The good side:
For me, the first good thing about the weekend is that I don´t have to go to work. I love my job but the little children are very tiring and I ´m older than ten years ago.
Another good thing is that I don´t have to get up early.During the week, I get up at seven o´clock.It is too early on Saturday or Sunday.
But above all,I like the weekend because I have time to do the things I really enjoy doing,like listening to music, reading in bed , going out with friends or simply,relaxing myself.
The bad side:
However, there are some things I don´t like about the weekend .
Firstly,I have to clean the house on Saturday morning and I have to do too much housework.
Secondly, on Sunday we always make enough food for two or three days of the week.
Although it´s positive I don´t usually have a good time, which I think is boring.
But in general, I love the weekend, I often get a bit sad on Sunday afternoon when I know that the weekend is nearly over.

New : Describing a building
The most beautiful building in my town is The Cathedral.It´s in the centre of Jaén,in Saint Mary´s Square.It is opposite the Town Hall.
The Cathedral of Jaén was designed by Andrés de Vandelvira.The construction began in 1249 and it was completed in 1724.It was built on the plot of an old mosque.
It is one of the most beautiful cathedrals in Spain. It´s 32 metres tall and 33 metres wide. The height doesn´t include the towers.
There are 9 big statues of the apostles over the main door and two twin towers.
the base of the Cathedral has the form of latin cross.
Inside the cathedral it is quite dark.There are beautiful stained glass windows, pictures, statues, a slender dome, the high alter, high chapel of Saint Rostro, minor chapels, choir,organ,museum,Custody,Diocesan archive,sacristia.
One of the best things you can do in Jaén is go sightseeing around the town and to take photos of the Cathedral at night, when it´s lit up.
If you go up to the archive of the cathedral you´ll contemplate the temple. The view is fantastic from its balconies.
Since 31st March of 2010, It isn´t free to go in and you must dress appropriately.
Note: children under 4 go free.

writing to my friend """"neW""""
Hi Daniel!
Thanks for your last e-mail.It was great to hear from you again.
My exams went very well.Thank you very much.
I´m really happy that you want to visit my country.I think you should come in July because I will be on Holiday, so I can be able to spend more time with you.
Don´t worry about which places you should visit when you stay here, we will organize it together.If I were you I´d travel by train because, the roads are very dangerous here.I think you shouldn´t drive.
We could meet on July 3rd.I would be very happy if you stayed in my house my family could meet you and we might visit around Mendoza with them in our car.My parents know the best interesting places in my town very well.
Hope to hear from you soon!
Best wishes.
Concha.

This is my new compositon .it´s already checked.
I live in La Carolina, Jaén, Spain, which is a city on the Southern slope of Sierra
Morena, and South of The Passage of Despeñaperros.
It has a population of 15.198 people. It´s one of the biggest cities in Jaén , and it is 66
Km from Jaén.
Carlos III founded La Carolina in 1767.I think it´s the newest town in the
province of Jaén. It´s one of the cleanest citiest I´ve ever seen, and It´s great
for walking because it´s very flat. It´s flatter than other cities .It´s like a
chessboard.
The city shows paralled and perpendicular streets. There are different kinds of
squares: .circle, octogonal, semicircle, rectangular and square squares.
The best monumentsof the city are:
- The Palace of the Intendant Olavid.
- The Church of The Inmaculate Conception.
-The Jail.
-The Torres de La Aduana ( customs towers?)
-The Pylons Foundation.
-The Monument to St John of the Cross.
-TheMonument to Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa.
-The Archaelogical Museum.
-The Despeñaperros Nature Reserve.
-The Natural Park Sierra of Andujar .
La Carolina has a Mediterranean climate. The weather in autumn and spring is
rainy and windy .The summer is very hot.
La Carolina is an industrial city. It´s famous for pickled partridge, partridge paté
( I like it very much!) , olive oil, wild meat, several soups, game meat, rabbit, desserts
like bacon from heaven, rice pudding... .
The biggest tourist attraction in La Carolina is probably the Carnaval.La
Carolina is the most carnaval (carnavalera) town in the province of Jaén.
Everybody goes out in the street wearing a fancy dress .
Groups of people called "chirigotas" sing everywhere.
There are some holidays too:
-Saint John of the Cross.: 24 November
-The fair: 11 to 15 May: It´s very funny. Everybody spends most of the day
in the street dancing, eating and laughing .A lot of people ride horses in the
streets.(I like it a lot , too).
-The Celebration of the Foundation: 1 to 5 June.
I think the best things about La Carolina is itself .It´s a village not as big
as Jaén, It´s quieter and safer than a big town. But I don´t like living here
a long time; I prefer to live in Jaén.
