No, I think the Internet isn’t a goo place to meet a
partner beause people tell lies.
It’s very easy not to tell the truth,e. g. An old men
can say he is a young girl, etc. The proble is when they want to meet, you
expect a teenager and you find a dirty old man. I prefer looking for friends in
another place (somewhere else).
People tell a lot of lies.
It’s an insecure place where people lie.
It’s difficult to find someone like you.
Facebook isn’t a good place because your friends don’t
tell the truth.

Mula (My town) (a):
Walking.
Mula is a good place to practise sport. In Mula there
are a lot of paths to go for a walk and it’s a beautiful place for a visit.
Banks.
Spanish banks aren’t great. We always pay for
everything and ATMs (cash machines) charge you money.
Drivers.
Drivers in Mula are sometimes impolite and impatient.
Mula doesn’t have a lot of traffic and sometimes people drive fast.
Chemists.
Mula has five chemists. The biggest one is in Juan
Villega street and the smallest is in Boticas street. Two chemists open
twenty-four hours a day and some of them open at weekends.
ID cards.
Mula is different from Britain. We need IDs for
everything. When we buy a drink, go to a club or use a credit card, but not to
take a bus or intercity train.
Summers.
Mula isn’t a good place in the summer because it’s
very hot. In the evening people go to ice-cream parlours.
Starbucks (coffee shops).
Mula doesn’t have Starbucks, but it has many bars and
cafés. In cafés people speak and drink coffee. At night you can dance and have
a drink with your friends.
Mula (My town) b:
Walking.
Mula is a good place for cyclists, my town is a good
place to walk because it’s very quiet and its surroundings are very nice.
Banks.
Banks in my town are very bad because they trick
people and they are very expensive because people pay for everything. If you want
to change banks it’s very difficult.
Drivers.
In mula drivers go very fast and pedestrians are
patient because cars park on the pavement.
Chemists.
Chemists in Mula don’t sell everything, they only sell
medicine and baby food. Chemists always open 24 hours a day. Here there are a
lot of chemists.
ID cards.
Here in Mula we need ID cards for everything. It’s
different from Britain. We need ID cads to buy drinks and to pay with credits
cards. We need ID cards to go to the disco.
Summers.
We hate summer in Mula, because it’s dry and very hot.
Mula doesn’t have a beach. People go to the swimming-pool and the country to
avoid the heavy heat.
Starbucks (coffee shops).
In Mula there are a lot of cafés. People go there every
day for breakfast and to drink a coffee after lunch, at the weekends people go
to cafés for a beer. In the summer and spring people sit on a table in the
street.
Mula (My town) (c):
Walking.
The city isn’t a good place for cyclists but some areas
are only for them, for example, the green way. It’s dangerous for
pedestrian because drivers don’t stop at zebra crossings.
Banks.
Banks in Mula, and in general Spanish banks, are bad
because you pay almost for everything, but you don’t pay when you take money out
of an ATM. You can ask for a mortgage but you need a payroll and
if you want to change banks, they don’t do all the work.
Drivers.
Drivers in Mula are fine. They are patient and polite,
but all the drivers aren’t friendly. Some of them aren’t polite and they hoot
and shout at the pedestrians.
Chemists.
Chemists in Mula are fantastic shops. They are usually
smaller than in the city centre. The shops assistants are friendly and nice.
Chemists have a lot of medicine.
ID cards.
Mula is a city in Spain, here people have ID cards.
In Murcia you need your ID when you buy a drink, go to a club, etc. But not to
take a train. It’s compulsory for children over 14 years old.
Summers.
The summer in Mula is very, very hot. At night is very
difficult to sleep. The day is very long, hot and dry. People go
to the beach or to a country house. The local swimming-pool is crowded in
summer because there isn’t an alternative. In our opinion, Mula isn’t a good
city to live in the summer.
Starbucks (coffee shops).
Cooffee shops in Mula open from 7 am to 3 am. In the
morning people have breakfast there. In the afternoon people have a coffee with
friends so later and night you can dance and have a drink. It’s great fun.
