8 Steve,
I really think we should make a trip and visit Nick. It’s not an excuse to get out of town for a

think?

9 Hi John,
Sorry I haven’t been in touch for so long. Things have been busy as always. Work, the kids,
and so on. Normal stuff. And also, I don’t know, I suppose I’m just a bit sad. Maybe I’m just sick
and tired of things. Lucy thinks I should look around for a different job. Who knows? See you
soon, anyway.

10 Bill,
Have you packed for the weekend? I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait – 2 days in the
forest. Now listen up. The bus leaves at 7.00 am. Sean suggested we meet outside the station,
but it’s always so crowded there, even on Saturdays because of the market. And the station
coffee shop is a dump. So we’ll meet in our seats. See you there.
Charlie

A Outside the bus station.

The amazing tricks and adrenaline-pumping action scenesare mesmerizing, mainly because many of us couldn’t imagine doing them. Many actors don’t wantto risk their necks for these show-stopping stunts, either. Instead, movies often rely on stuntmen tomake sure the movie is action-packed.Alejandro Garcia, with over 300 movies to his credit, has earned recognition as one of theindustry’s top stuntmen.

So,after graduating from school he considered becoming a baker. However, it was clear to everybodythat he was destined for more exciting things, so he started working as a lifeguard. Soon, he wasoffered a small role in an action movie and moved to Hollywood. The stuntman on the set got sickand Alejandro performed the stunt himself. From then on, his career took a new turn.This eight-time winner of the Taurus World Stunt Award has worked with many brilliant directors,who helped him develop both personally and professionally. And he’s made a fortune, too. Backin the early 2000s, when he started out, a daily rate was $600.
