Preparation

Reading text

Hi Lucia

How are you? It was so nice to meet you last week in Sydney at the sales meeting. How was the rest of your trip? Did you see any kangaroos? I hope you got home to Mexico City OK.

Anyway, I have the documents about the new Berlin offices. We're going to be open in three months. I moved here from London just last week. They are very nice offices, and the location is perfect. There are lots of restaurants, cafés and banks in the area. There's also public transport; we are next to an U-Bahn (that is the name for the metro here). Maybe you can come and see them one day? I would love to show you Berlin, especially in the winter. You said you have never seen snow – you will see lots here!

Here's a photo of you and me at the restaurant in Sydney. That was a very fun night! Remember the singing Englishman? Crazy! Please send me any other photos you have of that night. Good memories.

Please give me your email address and I will send you the documents.

Bye for now

Mikel

Internet is very popular nowaday beside many social networks: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter for example. We even use typical phone call and mails less than before. So when my friends and I want to make a plan hanging out together, we will have a chatting group on facebook and we can comfortably do video call as well. It is so convenient.

I usually like to make plans with my friends meeting them directly. But now I use the online platform such as Facebook messenger and skype to make plans with my friends in this pandemic situation like Covid-19.

I usually make plans with my friends by LINE. With LINE, We can easily send messages, photos and location information. Also, we can use it anytime, anywhere. It is OK to reply at any time we like. In addition, Most of my friends have his app installed. LINE makes it easy to create groups, so it is useful when planning with a large number of people. Sometimes I use Instagram or Twitter DM, but I personally think that LINE is easier to use .
