It’s easy to find a summer job in this town because there are plenty of restaurants and bars that need extra help in the tourist season.
I’ve had a lot of different jobs here – I’ve been a pizza delivery person, a babysitter, a kitchen assistant…but this is the first time I’ve worked in a bar. The pay is alright and people here are cool, but I have to put up with late hours…oh, and drunk customers once in a while.
I’ve been here for about two months now. All in all, I like it, but the best part is – I have already saved enough money to spend a couple of weeks in New York visiting my old college roommate Christine.
We have been best friends since we were eighteen years old.
Chris has been here to visit me twice, so now it’s my turn to visit her. I’ve never been to New York before so I’m really looking forward to this trip.
I’ve already booked the flight, bought new clothes and arranged with a neighbor to water my plants while I’m out. I can’t wait!

J. K. Rowling to pen first novel for adults
Author J. K. Rowling has announced plans to publish her first novel for adults, which will be “very different” from the Harry Potter books she is famous for. The book will be published worldwide although no date or title has yet been released. “The freedom to explore new territory is a gift that Harry’s success has brought me,” Rowling said.
All the Potter books were published by Bloomsbury, but Rowling has chosen a new publisher for her debut into adult fiction. “Although I’ve enjoyed writing it every bit as much, my next book will be very different to the Harry Potter series, which has been published so brilliantly by Bloomsbury and my other publishers around the world,” she said, in a statement. “I’m delighted to have a second publishing home in Little, Brown, and a publishing team that will be a great partner in this new phase of my writing life.”

Taking advantage of his social status and the possible influence on his fans, the famous musician Jimi Hendrix associates, in his text, the terms Love, Power and Peace to justify his opinion that:

"When the power of love overcomes the love of POWER, the world will know peace". Jimi Hendrix.

A paz tem o poder aumentar o amor entre os homens.

O amor pelo poder deve ser menor do que o poder do amor.

O poder deve ser compartilhado entre aqueles que se amam.

O amor pelo poder é capaz de desunir cada vez mais as pessoas.

A paz será alcançada quando a busca pelo poder deixar de existir.

Correct! Wrong!
