Example:Well, I often visit ManyBooks.net because I enjoy reading so much. It's necessary for my job as a teacher since I'm always looking for new books to give to my students. These books are free to download and you can read many famous authors from the past. There are books in English, Spanish and other languages. It's a simple website and easy to navigate. You can search books by author, title or genre. There is a Books of the Week section, a Popular Download section and a Recommended section that's very good. The best part is that you can download books in different formats for android, kindle or pc. I visit the site about three times a week, sometimes even four, and I can also connect using my smartphone. I always have good books to read. The link to the site is www.manybooks.net. I hope you find great stuff there!! Bye!

Example

As a writer I really admire Julio Cortázar. He was an Argentinean author born in Belgium in 1914, but he moved to Buenos Aires when he was four years old. He grew up in a big house where he read a lot, because he was frequently sick and had to stay in bed. He studied pedagogy. He wrote many short story collections and novels. He's famous for introducing the fantastic in his fictional world, though it's a very modern concept, because there aren't any ghosts or monsters in his work. Strange things happen to characters that they can't explain. He wrote novels such as Rayuela, Los premios and Libro de Manuel. His short story collections include Historias de cronopios y famas, Bestiario and Las armas secretas. I like his style because it's very fast and intricate. His stories always speak about the human condition, about trying to find other hidden aspects of life that too often we forget: creativity, risk and imagination. That's why admire Julio Cortázar.
