Writing Unit 8: A happy ending


This time last year, things weren’t going too well for me. I’d failed some exams at school, and I’d also had a big argument with my family. In my house I didn’t really want to see my family. I spend a lot of time playing computer games in my room.

Everything changed for me the day I read a book about be optimistic in own lives. People who is optimistic always fight for their ideals and never give up. The optimistics always live smiling and good things happen in their lives because they are friendly and they never are angry. Finally I decided to be an optimistic person and finally good things started to happen to me.

These days, i feel much happier. Be optimistic has made me feel more useful and sociable. I’m helping other people for be optimistic. If I hadn’t read the book, I’d never had the opportunity.

Speaking Dialogue Unit 8: How to: Console and encourage

Ferran: Hey Jordi, you look a bit down. What's the matter?
Jordi: Oh, I've just heard that Marie, my girlfrind, has to moving away the city because her father works in Barcelona.
Ferran: Oh, right. Sorry to hear that. It isn't the end of the world though.
Jordi: I know, but I'm really going to miss him.
Ferran: Don't take it too badly - at least she won't be very far away and if you want, you can visit him in Barcelona.
Jordi: That's true, I suppose.
Ferran: Look at it this way - if she lives there her father have his work nearly.
Jordi: Yeah, maybe you're right.
Ferran: Cheer up! come on - let's go to a cafĂ© or something.
Jordi: OK. Thanks, Dean. I feel a bit better now.
