Submitted by Sybille An online environmental magazine has asked readers to send in articles about places of natural beauty that they have visited. You decide to write an article describing what you saw there and evaluating its importance as a place of natural beauty. 280-320 words Beauty beyond expectations:  South Africa It is sadly a well known fact that the environment has been severely damaged over the last few years.  But have you ever wondered whether unscathed and beautiful places can still be found on planet Earth ?

Submitted by Aline Oliveira Essay on the meaning of  Home Both texts discuss the meaning of Home, highlighting its importance in different aspects. The first text argues that home is the place where we feel at ease, while the second one supports the idea that, even for people who enjoy going out a lot, the place where they live is always a reflection of its personality. The first text rises up the argument that people nowadays lead extremely active lives and that for this reason they see their homes as a place where they can escape from stress. Staying in they can connect to themselves and enjoy either a moment of solitude or a nice conversation with their families. The second text brings up the issue that for some people, life at home may not be as pleasant as the first text suggests. It states that some people have a strong need to interact with others by hanging out a lot in public places. But it doesn't mean that home is not important for them.

What else can a person ask for? Secondly, the destinations are always stunning: Tropical cities in the Caribbean or heavenly islands where many activities take place. F
