Talk, no matter what...


By Isabel Leticia Manzutti

In January 2015 I went to the beach with my parents. My grandmother and her second husband went with us. I was very excited with the idea. I really love the beach. It was my second time going to the beach.
We went to a beach in Santa Catarina. My mum drives a school van. So, we used the school van to go to the beach. The trip was awesome. The van is big. My mum removed one row of seats and placed a mattress on the floor of the van. So, I could sleep there comfortably during the trip.
When we arrived at the beach it was very sunny. It was hot. It was beautiful. As soon as we arrived, we went straight to the sand. There, I met two girls. They were playing on the sand. I got closer to them and tried to talk. But, there was a problem. They didn’t speak Portuguese. They were Argentinian. I don’t speak Spanish. But I tried. I improvised words to talk to them. I could do it because Portuguese and Spanish are a little bit similar. The people who passed by, thought we were all Argentinian. My mum heard people commenting about it. We played on the beach and we also played in the house where we were staying. It was very cool.
We stayed there for one week. When I left the girls would still be there a bit more.

RUDE QUESTIONS | C2 LEVEL TEXT EXAMPLE

Why is it rude and socially unacceptable to ask certain questions? The Independent  -  Christine Manby Picture the scene. You’re at a party. You know no one but the host and they’ve had to rush to the kitchen to rescue some smoking vol-au-vents from the oven. You spot a friendly looking fellow guest, also on their own, and sidle over to make their acquaintance by the buffet table. You swap names. You compare notes on your respective journeys to the venue. You talk about the weather. Hasn’t it been strange this year? So far so good. Now what? The host passes by with those vol-au-vents. You grab one and shove it in your mouth. And before you’ve entirely finished eating it you come out with the line , “So, what do you do?” If this were the 1970s, the needle would skitter across the vinyl on the record player, bringing the music to an abrupt and ugly end. As it is, the entire room falls silent as everyone turns to stare. It’s not that your mouth is still full of vol-au-v
