Description of a landscape

Sailing in the internet I find a landscape:

This picture is very pretty and spectacular. Maybe it could be one of the deserts in the world, for exemple in Arizona or in Australia.
It's a steep, rough and abrupt scenery with three erosion mountains. In the top of the picture we can see a red sky with reddish clouds and the land is reddish with brown colours too.
It's a no-man's-land, a desert area, without vegetation and without a trace of the humans.
In front of the picture there is a very big rock that it hold one thirds of the picture.
I put this image because I really like it. This zone seems peaceful and calm.

Dear Lluïsa

We write to you because we want to make a proposal to change some important things of the high school.
On the one hand we think that if you paint the grey walls of the high school, in our opinion we will work more comfortable.
On the other hand we want to ask you if it’s possible that when a teacher can not come to the class, although the lesson is not the first or the last hour the students of Batxillerat could be allowed to go out.

Finally we want to say that we are really satisfied with the technological llevel of the high school


Yours sincerely

Carles Torracabota and Baldiri Gironella
