Part 3: Writing - Option 1 · Inglés Selectividad Cataluña Juny Serie 5 2021

1. Last summer you went rock climbing in the Pyrenees and realized that all the surroundings were full of plastic waste. Write an informal letter to a friend of yours describing your feelings.

Solución: Dear Alex, How are you doing? I hope everything is going well with your studies. I'm writing to you because I need to get something off my chest. Last summer, I went rock climbing in the Pyrenees, which as you know is my absolute favourite place to disconnect. However, the experience left me utterly devastated. As I climbed higher along the trail, I could hardly believe my eyes: plastic bottles, food wrappers, and discarded bags were scattered everywhere between the rocks. It honestly broke my heart. I felt an overwhelming mixture of anger and sadness that people can treat such majestic landscapes with complete disrespect. Nature gives us so much peace, yet irresponsible tourists leave behind toxic waste that takes centuries to degrade. We really need to organize a clean-up hike together soon. Write back soon! Best, Sam
