Veracruz

When I was 12, I went to Veracruz for the first time in my life , Veracruz is a City where you can find lots of fun, The city is known for its rich musical traditions, which includies marimba bands, danzón and comparsa.In downtown Veracruz, a large marble-tiled Zocalo called the Plaza de Armas or Plaza Lerdo, is the heart of the city's lively nightlife.
the "Grand Café de la Parroquia" is the most famous coffehouse in Veracruz. Its signature drink is the "lechero" which consists of expresso coffee mixed with steamed milk.
The city has several beaches as well, like Villa del Mar and Mocambo.People in Veracruz are pretty friendly. When I went there for first time, I met some great people and I made friends.

Last year, I went to veracruz with my brother and his wife,we had a great time,we went to dive in "Cancuncito" a part in the middle of the port where the sand banks to let you walk in the water and when the tide is low an island emerges from the sea, it's really cool, and something I didn't believe I could see in Veracruz, was coral reef,Veracruz is a commercial port , so the beaches are not nice, but that "Cancuncito" beach It's ok.The people of Veracruz say it is just like Cancun, not true, but it is nice.

I saw some sea animals, some cool fish, some "Erizos de Mar" Those animals with tons of pointy spikes that hurt a lot, I don't know their name in English.

On july 16 my friends and I arrived at your inn hoping to spend an enjoyable weekend . Unfortunately, because of your poor service, uor weekend was a disaster. Since your and says "have a fabulous time or get your money back, " I am requesting that you refund our money.

From the moment we arrrived, there were problems with the service. First, a very unfrinedly desk clear could´t find our reservation. after waiting almost half an hour, we were led by another unfriendly clerk to aur room, which had a view of a parking lot instead of the bay,had not yet bee cleaned, so we found dirty towels on the beds and cigarette butts in the ashtrays. Despite these problems, none of your employees apologized to us. This was not the weekend we had bee looking forward to.

service at your inn was not always like this. My provious visits were always enjoyable because of the corteous service and clean rooms with beautiful views. Intil things change at your inn, i will never recommend it to anyone.I expect to reveive my refund shortly.

sincerely yours,
Dale thomas.

Dear Sir or Madam:

Last weekend my boyfriend and I arrived at your popular cafeteria looking for a very nice time to spent together. The motto in your window reads "where your friends are as special as you are". Unfortunatelly the services that day didn't reflect those words.

As soon as we arrived there we had the chance to sit at a table and we waited for almost half an hour for the waiter to help us. There were not to many people for this to happen but I have to point out that the music was good and this helped us to be patient. However when we were finally service the waiter spilled a cup of coffe on my grand new jacket. It costed me $15 dollars to have it clean.

Mi jacket doesn't look that good anymore. I had never had an experiance such as this anywhere. I hope you can understand my complaint because I want you to refund the money for another new jacket.

Sincerely yours,

Damaris.

Keep stress away!!!

I think The best way to keep stress away is to have a balanced life. That means making good decisions about how to spend your time. If you're only dealing with school stuff and have no time to play, you can get stressed. Make sure you keep yourself in mind: Sleep, Exercise, Leisure (something fun), and food. If you take care of yourself and get enough sleep and food, and if you exercise and leave time for fun stuff, you'll probably be less stressed out.

One day I was taking a walk on the beach and stopped to look at the waves, suddenly I thought I saw something struggling in the water; it looked like a man who was having trouble swimming. Just then I reached for my glasses, and then remembered I’d left them at home, suddenly a big wave came, and the man was gone. At that moment I ran as fates as I could to get the lifeguard. After that we arrived back at the stop where I had seen the man. When the lifeguard looked through his binoculars, he said he didn’t see a thing, at that moment I was pretty embarrassed. The next day I bought the news paper. There was an article about dolphins swimming near the shore. As soon as I read the article. I realize that I had seen a dolphin in the water –not a man! After that I never went anywhere without my glasses again.

Lucy Gomez is the most creative person I know. She started piano lesons when she was only six years old. At school, she was always creating interesting projects in her art class. Whwn she was only 12 years old, she won a citywide poetry contest. Her parents were very proud of her.

Now lucy works as a sitcom writer for a popular TV show. She works with a group of writers, and together they have to think of fresh ideas. They also have to come up with funny dialog for the actors on their show because the actors have to play believable characters that will make the audience laugh. It is not an easy job, but Lucy does it well.

She strats work late in the morning and often works until 7 or 8 at night.Lucy is very curious. She likes to travel and meet new people who have opinions that are different from hers. She often carries a notebook with her and writes down what she sees and hears. Lucy tells me that these new experiences are a good source of ideas for her work. I always enjoy talking to her and am happy to know someone as bright and creative as Lucy.
