Dear Steve,

Thanks for your email. I’m sorry I didn’t reply, but I was on holiday. I went to South Africa last month for 10 days. I went with my friends, Frank and Cassie. Do you remember them?

South Africa was fantastic! We went by plane to Cape Town. It’s a great city. The mountains and the sea were so beautiful. We stayed in a really nice, small hotel by the sea. There’s a lot to do in Cape Town, and the people are friendly. We went to some very good restaurants. We saw whales and went swimming with dolphins. I would love to go back there!

Love,

Clare

Formerly, school education was easier. There were no tests, because of which children can not fully reveal themselves. They only say what they want to hear from them, not their opinion. Teachers were kinder and tried to provide free assistance to those who are lagging behind and those who have a desire to learn. The school curriculum was the same in all schools. Now every school makes its own. As my mom said, "it was fun to learn before, and now the kids are shaking because of the fours in the diary"

Modern life runs so quickly that people often don’t have enough time to eat. And most certainly they get little time for cooking. Lots of people think that fast food is the best solution in this situation. That’s why fast-food chains have become so popular. They provide simple menus, which usually contain French fries, hamburgers, sandwiches, salads, milk cocktails, brownies and else. Perhaps the most famous fast-food chain is McDonalds. This place is rather popular among children and grown-ups. People like having food which is cooked beforehand and served quickly. However, doctors all over the world find fast food rather unhealthy. They say that fast food contains many calories, lots of fat and just a few vitamins. They also say that eating fast food every day leads to overweight and stomach problems. Luckily, people today are more health-conscious than before and they realize that eating lots of fast food can be dangerous. The question about fast food always brings up many opinions. Some people state that it’s not bad at all. Usually those people have lots of work to do during weekdays and fast food is a good idea for lunch. Children are also among those who like fast-food chains. They especially like getting toys with their meal. McDonalds was the first restaurant to use this strategy. Others avoid eating fast food because it can lead to the following health problems: high blood pressure, heart diseases and obesity. In conclusion, I’d like to say that everyone has a choice. I choose fresh fruit and vegetables. That’s why when I’m at a fast-food restaurant I order a salad and an orange juice.
