WRITING 9

Hi

My name's Laia and I live in South London. I like the area where I live, so I want to improve it. 

As a result, there isn't anywhere for young people to go. 
 
In my opinion the young people spend all their time hanging around the streets. There are sometimes problems with vandalism and graffiti. There aren't any facilities for them. I think the conncil should do something about this. I'm sure they must have a youth café, and this people go there.

· MY HEART WILL GO ON - CELINE DION

Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you,
That is how I know you go on

Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go till we're one

Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

You're here, there's nothing I fear,
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
