Hi!
I’m Anna, your new penfriend. I am fourteen years old. I’ve got one brother and one sister. We live in London, but my parents aren’t from London. They are from Ireland.
I am not interested in sport, I prefer music. I like hip hop. I play the electric guitar but I am not very good. My friends and I have a rock band. We go out together on Wednesday afternoon.
I go to Paddington High School. My favourite school subject is maths, my maths teacher is Mr Taylor. My best friend’s name is Harriet. She isn’t in my class, she studies in a different school.

Anna!

Unit 7, writing: opinion essay

Young offenders in the USA sometimes have the choice of going to a boot camp instead of prison. Boot camps involve military discipline and hard labour. Some boot camps, like the one Tanya was sent to, are not part of the legal system, and it is the parents’ decision to make their children join these places.

Are boot camps a good idea? Write an essay giving your opinion.

(Student’s book, pages 78 & 79)
