A description of my favourite detective

 Hey. I am reporter Melina and I am gonig to tell you about my favourite detective. His name is James Bond. He is 57 years old but he looks very young. He is tall and thin man with brown hair and green eyes. His job is to find the robbers. He has participated in many movies. He is a very good spy. 

He was the protagonist in action films and horror films. His hobbies are playing the piano, and telling stories. He has already played in 23 movies and all of them are in the cinema. James Bond has already died 23 times. As a good journalist I asked him some questions.

MELINA:
Hi! How long have you wanted to became a detective?
MR BOND:
I have wanted this since I was 14 years old.
MELINA:
And before what did you want to be when you grew up?
MR BOND:
I would like to be a fireman
MELINA:
Wow! That is good. Is it easy to catch the robbers?
MR BOND:
No, I do not think so, but it is entertaining
MELINA:
And one last question:What do you want to tell all your fans?
MR BOND:
I want to say a very big thank you because without them I would not be where I am now.
MELINA:
Great! And I am an admirer of you
MR BOND:
Oh! Thank you. Bye!
MELINA:
Bue! See you!

A report

The proposal

 

The council is planning to build a new hotel in my neighbourhood in the next months . Our neighbourhood is a quiet area with a lot of traditional shops next to the beach .

Reasons to build a hotel

First of all, building a hotel is a nice idea to promote the development of a piece of land. It is going to bring more tourists , so the shops will have more profit . There are going to be a lot of new jobs and most people of the city will have work

 

Reasons not to build a hotel

Because most of the visitors will have their own car, the traffic will be heavier . Consequently, the pollution will get worse . The life of the traditional people will change , because of the foreign influences.

My opinion

(Best heading: Recommendations and Suggestions)

My opinion about the development of this area is positive because I think the advantages are more than the disadvantages.
