Tennis courses in France.

Dear Sir /Madam:


I'm writing to ask for information about tennis courses.I'm especially interested in an intensive course for two weeks.I'm 46 and I work in a Secondary School. I'm a French teacher,but my husband's a sport teacher and we are interested in learning to play tennis in Paris,in Roland Garros. We are beginners and we'd prefer private lessons with professional coach.
I have looked at your website, but there is no information about intensive courses next summer. Could you please send me information about dates and prices? I would also like some information about accommodation. I would like to stay with my family: my husband, and my two nieces.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully.

The Place I live's la Carolina

I live in la Carolina which's a city in the province of Jaén, Andalucía (Spain).
The city as a population of 15576 people.
It's situated in Sierra Morena.La Carolina's the fifth biggest city in Jaén.
Carlos III is the founder in the XVIII century.
It's a baeutiful city and its streets are parall and perpendicular around to the Town Hall Square.
There are a lot of bars, restaurants and monuments, like The churh of the "Inmaculada Concepción",the Palace Olavide and the Battle of Navas de Tolosa.
The weather here is similar to that in the centre of Spain;the winter can be very cool and the summer's hot too.
La carolina's famous for its festivals:
- May Festival: whith a lot of casetas and people dance "sevillanas" and drink "rebujitos".There is a show and sale of livestock.
- St John of the Cross ( 24 th November) a mistyc writer and lived here, he's the Patron of la Carolina.This day people take the relics of St Joan to the "Peñuela" and they reffle a pig.
- Carnivals are very important in la Carolina.
This city is famous for its dishes too: partridge paté and mountain meat.
But I think the best things about la Carolina is the people, they are very friendly and hospitable.
