    Hi [Friend's Name], I'm really looking forward to seeing you too! It's great that you'll be arriving on Monday. Don't worry about me working - I've booked the day off so we can spend the whole day together. To get into the city centre from the train station, take bus number 25.

    Tips for earning 1. with a little work you can

    2. artists are advised to focus
    Most people believe that in the world we live in today, it’s on an artistic activity they

    4. artists with low quality work
    The first mistake that artists make is to try and earn

    idea to try and sell work on the Web and to work as a
    teacher at a local school. On their own, these activities
    don’t provide a lot of money, but a variety of these will
    help you earn a living.
    In most jobs, it’s important to fit in and get along with
    your colleagues. But for an artist the most important thing
    is to stand out. In fact, being weird will be to your benefit.
    The less normal your work is, the more people will
    remember it. If you develop a style that is completely
    different and people like it, then you will have more
    chances of selling. It may be frustrating, but you often
    see artists becoming successful, not because of the
    quality of their work, but because their ideas are out of
    the ordinary.
    Talent, imagination and creativity are essential for a
    professional artist, and having the freedom to do
    whatever you want is always nice. Being well-organised
    isn’t something we usually recognise in an artist, but to
    be successful an artist also has to keep this in mind.
    There is no clear road to success as an artist, but if you
    act professionally and set your own deadlines, then your
    chances are better.

    Social media sites are pretty popular


    nowadays. So like everyone else, I use
    them to communicate with friends and
    play online games. However, the main
    Danie reason I use them is to get information
    about news and events. They are pretty
    practical, but I think that some people

    I’ve told her a million times: nobody
    online for everyone to see and I
    cares that you just had a sandwich!
    don’t understand why other people
    haven’t got a problem with that.
    There are also a lot of viruses you
    can get from these sites that can
    damage your computer. Call me
    old-fashioned, but I actually enjoy
    talking on the phone with my friends Philip
    and meeting them face-to-face. It
    seems to me that sending an online
    message just isn’t the same!
