A visit of a family
Hi family.
We are very excited because you come here to meet us. We have planed a lot of things to do during the time you are going to stay here in Salamanca.
Now we are going to tell you what we are going to do in this week.
The first day we’re going to pick up you at Barajas’s airport at three o’clock. Then we go to our home by bus and then we have free time to meet our families during the rest of the day.
The second day we’re going to do a long walk around the village for you to know it. We could eat at the countryside unless it rains. After that, we are going to visit the Helmántico Stadium and if we have time we will play soccer, do any other activity or whatever you want. At night you are going to have dinner with your families.
The third day at the morning we probably will visit the quarry of the town. You’re going to eat with your families and after having lunch we are going to take the bus to Salamanca to visit Plaza Mayor and we will eat some tapas.
The fourth day after you eat with your families we are going to take the bus to go to Salamanca and visit the religious monuments like the old and new Cathedrals. Then you can go shopping. After that we’re gonna return to Villamayor and you can do what you want in the town with the families.
The fifth day we are going to Salamanca again to play a game that consists on a treasure hunt in different monuments around the city.
The sixth day you could propose us some activities to do.

Extra Work
Evolution of mobiles:
Nowdays, don't have a mobile phone means no social live. Why does it happend?
Society has evoluted a lot in few years. We use mobiles for everything. At the begining, mobile phones were just to call people, and later we could send messages too. Mobiles were invented to be able to find someone and tell him or her an information they should know in a essential moment when the person is not at home, but today we use it for more things, such as an alarm clock, a digital o video camera, for listening to music and others.
The mobiles evolute each day more and more, and their getting better and better, till we use it sometimes as a computer. Social webs as twitter, or applications for mobiles are used more frecuantly than calls or text messages as you don't have to pay nothing, and these aplicattions for communicating are quicklier and more efficates, cause you can recibe answers and send questions to more people. Young dwellers (teenagers and adults between 20 to 35 years) are the mayority part of the society which have the mobile's adiction. If a teenager don't have his or her mobile phone all time with him or her, he or she feels bad, because he or she doesn't have communication via tuenti, twitter or other social aplicattion, and it is a real problem, and looks like if this teenager is lost in the world. Teenagers don't know what to do in their free time with out a mobile or a computer that uis used in the same way, to have a inmediatly comunication. Imagine a young person who is with his mobile phone and suddenly the phone fells down and it's broken. You run to the shop and you asked for reparing your phone, but the employee tells him that he needs 2 o 3 days. Even when he needs just 2 or 3 days, you prefer don't wait for it, and you buy a new one who is better and has everything you need. It doesn't make sence, because he's buying something that yhe doesn't really need, but he has adction, and see it is very sad. Perhaps he need a new t-shirt, or in a few dayr is the birthday of his sister, but he prefers a new phone over everything.
In some countries, there's people who have more than one phone and are more or less located in Asia and I think it has relation with the las example. Hong Kong is in China, a country in which millions of people are explotatied so, how is possible that in a group of 1,000 people a bit more of the half part of them have 2 mobiles? Adiction is the answer. Consumption is replacing human solidarity.
Well, as a little summeray. If we continuous in this way, in the future we won't have real, human relationships, because all the comunication will be by chatting, video calls or social webs, and it can be a serious and real problem, and consumption will be developen more and more.
