The day I've got a new friend

Hi all! 

This time, we are going to write about our experience when visiting to "La Libertad" school. The idea is that you write 4 paragraphs describing and considering the following information for such purpose:

1 paragraph: Where, when and with who I went there.

2 paragraph: How was there?

3 paragraph: Who I met there?

4 paragragh: How can I help, what can I do for the child/ren there?

2. Language/writing aspects:

- Grammar use: Past tense, Past continuous or progressive, modal verb: can/can't.
- Simple structure: subject + verb + complement.
- Look for useful vocabulary you need, spelling, 
punctuation rules, etc.


All your writings will be welcome as comments... Thanks for participating!

A better town for teenagers

Hi all!

Our next writing activity is going to be funny. I would like you to write a mini-article which has as title 
"A better town for Teenagers". For doing it, you can:

1. Make a list of the ideas you want to express...
(plan your writing):
* Say where you live.
* Say what the environmental - social problems are.
* Say what people might do.
* Say what people should or shouldn't do.
* Think of a positive ending for your mini-article.


2. Language/writing aspects:

- Grammar use: present simple, will/won't - might/might not for predictions, should/shouldn't for possibilities.
- Simple structure: subject + verb + complement.
- Look for useful vocabulary you need, spelling, 
punctuation rules, etc.
- Divide your (similar) ideas in short paragraphs.


All your mini-articles will be welcome as comments... Thanks for participating!
