Coordinator of 2ºBACH
High School Liceo Castilla
Dear Sir or Madame,
I am writing to expres my concern about all the exams we have.
I know that they are important and taht help us to improve our knowledge, but we have a lot.
First of all, I want to mark that in the last year of high school we don't have spare time, and the course is shorter. If we have two exams per week, we probably suffer estres.
And secondly, but not less important, we never can't go out the weekends due to the exams we always have on monday.
I strongly urge you to reject this problem.
I suggest you to set the exams in an other way.
I look forward to your replay.
Yours faithfully.

Talking about a picture...
This picture shows a lot of tents with many banners made of cardboard.
In the foreground we can see a young guy with a crutch. He is looking directly at the camera with a half smile in his face. Behind he there is a big camp of tents and in the back of the picture in the left side, we can see a group of people walking while carrying big banners.
They seem to be in a square that I’m sure is “la Puerta del Sol” in Madrid.
It could be that all this people are there making a demonstration because of the actual situation of crisis Spain is living and that is the way to fight against the steps the politicians have taken to solve this untenable situation.
