Para 1 My favourite place is Genoa in Northern Italy. The city centre is 5km long and 3km wide.

Para 2 There are many things to see there. You can see an old pirate ship in the port, the sea and the beaches, and look at all the beautiful clothes that the Italians love to wear. There are many things to do there. You can go swimming in the sea, visit lots of restaurants and go on a boat to all the beaches that are nearby.

Para 3 Genoa is my favourite place because whether you want to relax, have fun or see the sights, there is something there for everyone!

Never alone

One sunny morning, David and Sarah went to the beach to spend the afternoon swimming. They liked to go to the beach when it was sunny. After they had swum in the sea, they sat and ate some sandwiches they had brought with them.

As they were eating their sandwiches, they heard a scream. They looked up and saw a woman standing on the beach waving her arms and jumping up and down. They could see that she needed help and they both ran towards her.

David asked her what was wrong and she said her dog was in the water and couldn’t swim back. She was crying and calling out. David did not need time to think. He ran to the water and dived in. He could see something splashing a little way out and he swam as fast as he could towards it. When he got there, he grabbed hold of the dog and swam back to the beach with it. The woman was very happy. She held her dog close to her and the dog looked as happy as she did.

The next day David and Sarah were on the front page of the local newspaper. There was a picture of the dog and in the article the woman said that David and Sarah had saved her dog’s life. David and Sarah laughed. They thought that the dog was only playing in the water and that he (it) did not need saving at all!

I really admire my elder brother. His name is Daniel and he works as a fire fighter. He was born in the same place as me, Cambridge, in January 1976. He is tall and skinny although he is very fit. He has very short brown hair and he wears an earring in his left ear.

He has worked for the fire department for 6 years. In that time he has helped save many people. Once, he carried a baby to safety from a very tall block of flats. He was given an award for that.

He wants to become a fire chief one day and be in charge of an area; maybe even Fire Chief for the whole country.

I admire Daniel because he wants to help people and

because he is determined and passionate about life and his work.
