My Favorite Website

The website that I usually visit is NewPCT1. The page is full of text links. The appearance of this page is good, tidy, nice, and easy to use. The site map is well-organized because it divides the content into sections, and it is only necessary to choose the one that you wish to view. The search option arranges content by series, movies, programs, games, and music. Inside each of these sections, you have many subcategories to choose from. It is very comfortable to navigate this website. It has many links, but all are positioned in such a way that it is easy to use.

Summer Holidays in Olivella: An Invitation

Hello Sandy, thanks for your email. I am writing because I would like to invite you to my house during your holidays. My family is looking forward to seeing you again.

In summer, the weather in Olivella, my village, is wonderful! We can go to the pool or the beach. There are some nice places to visit around my house, including the beautiful Natural Garraf Park and the Buddhist Monastery. At night, we can go partying in Sitges. You'll love it!

The Spanish food is wonderful, and you know I cook well. Please give my regards to your family; they are lovely. I look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes and kisses,

Mamen

P.S. Please send me the photos of our last trip!

Literal Versus Nonliteral Communication

A: Fancy a whisky?

B: I am a muslim.

B explicitly communicates I AM A FOLLOWER OF THE MUSLIM RELIGION.

B implicitly communicates I DON’T FANCY A WHISKY (BECAUSE IT’S ALCOHOLIC AND MUSLIMS DON’T DRINK ALCOHOL).

The more implicit communication is, the more risky it is. If you say “No, thank you” it’s easier to understand than if you say “I am a muslim”. So... Why engage in implicit communication at all? Needless to say, on many occasions one would not be able to provide the same quality and quantity of information unless one chose an implicit utterance.
