Located near the port of Montreal, La Poutinerie is one of the most popular restaurants in the Canadian city.
The restaurant has this name because of their most popular and only plate: the "poutine". The plate is a traditional "québécois" recipe. It is basically composed of french fries, melted cheese and, the most disgusting ingredient of it, meat fat! The restaurant has many variations of the plate. You can have poutine with sausages, extra cheese, meat, and many other options.
It is very popular among the young people on Montreal, but it's also not the lightest food you'll try in your life...

My opinion about a limited use of the Internet
I partly agree with this affirmative. I agree that people are using the Internet too much, but it depends on the way they are using it. If people spend hours and hours online on Facebook, Twitter (there are the ones who uses it moderately), etc. I think that yes, there should be a limited use of the Internet for them. But there are also people who make a very good use of it- researching, studying, reading the news, etc.
Conclusion: for people that use the Internet to do useless things for a long time, yes, there should be a limited use. But for people who use it to do useful things, as I said before, this limit is not necessary. We must always remember that the Internet can be a great source of knowledge!

The Atwater Market
Located at Atwater street, in Montreal, Canada, the Atwater market is one of the most picturesque places of the city.
The market is not big if compared to Jean Talons one, but its small size contributes for the pleasant atmosphere of the place. There, you can try some sausages from a stall specialised on this food. They have all types of sausages, with every kind of spice. You can also buy amazing cheese in one of the many cheese stores in the market. Also, cheese is much cheaper there! If you want to, you can taste it with bread, which is made by a popular net of "boulangeries" from Montreal, called Première Moisson. Finally, you can taste chocolate from one of the chocolate stores in the market, and so, probably finishing one of the best meals you have ever had!

Letter to the president of Spanish Football Federation
Dear Sir or Madam,
As a Spanish football fan, I would to like make complaint.
We all know how disputed is La Liga, and this year, this dispute is even bigger. We got two great teams fighting for the title, and one drawn or loss can change the whole competition. Unfortunately, we are going to have 2 less rounds of great football and emotion due to financial problems according the clubs TV rights.
I know that money is very important to administrate such a great competition, but I would ask you, please, if you could not try to solve this problem after the end of the tournament. We would have 2 more rounds of emotion, besides the great Copa del Rey final. We, football fans, would be very thanked!
Thank you for your attention,
Mr. Fleck

Frankeinstein text
Frakeinstein is a famous book written by Mary Shelley. It is composed by letters, written by Robert Walton, to his sister, Margaret. The first one is written when Walton is at St. Petersburg. The Russian city is his fist step for starting his adventure. Robert tells his sister about how this is a dream coming to reality (he dreamed to travel to North Pole and study this region since he was a boy).
In letter 2, Walton is in Archangel searching for sailors to accompany him. In the letter, Robert writes Margaret the sentence "what can stop the determined heart and resolved will of men" (which I found very intelligent, because, if we think about it, is a very genuine sentence: we never give up of our dreams when we are very determined to achieve it!). He tells her about the history of the men he hired as well.
29 days passed from letter 3 (the shortest letter of the book, in which Robert announces his departure) until letter 4. In this last letter, Walton narrates a strange accident that happened. The ship got stranded. Sometime later, the attention of the sailors was attracted by a sled, ridden by a giant man, that rapidly passed in front of the ship. The next day, Robert sees a man being removed from the sea by his sailors. The ice broke during the night and he nearly died. He is exhausted, and almost frozen. Walton wants to asks him thousands of questions, but prefers to let the man relax. However, the lieutenant decides to ask him why he was in such a far region in such a strange vehicle. The man answers that he was following one who fled from him.
Time passes and Walton starts loving his new "passenger" as a brother, who is very polite, quiet, and seems to be a true gentleman.
8 days passes when Walton starts to write again. After learning about Robert's project, the man gets impressed. He believes Walton is going to have the same faith he had. He then starts to tell his story, to which Walton listens attentively.
