(2NI) An Eton Experience

Eton was founded by King Henry VI in 1440 and lies just across the river Thames from the pretty Berkshire town of Windsor; most famous for its royal castle. Throughout its history Eton has been one of the leading independent schools in the UK and it continues to provide a stimulating all-round education, coupled with academic excellence.

(2NB) An Informal Email


From: Ángeles
To: Thomas
Subject: Studying English

Hello Thomas,
My name's Ángeles and I'm from a little village near Palencia, in the North of Spain, I'm a psychologist in Palencia and an English and French student. I enjoy studying languages.

I'm married and we have two children, they are students at the University. They aren't at home during the week so my favourite day is Saturday because we are all together and I usually cook their favourite food for them: salad and pasta.

I love reading good books, in this moment I'm reading a biography about Leonor of Aquitania. I love listening to music: classical, rock, blues, but I really hate metal.
I don't mind watching TV, but I turn it on to watch films, because I love cinema and going to the cinema. The last film I saw yesterday night was "Youth", a fantastic Sorrentino's film.

And you? What kind of music, cinema and readings do you prefer?

I hope you write to me soon and tell me about it.

Regards,

   Ángeles
