Writing if not done yet Write a letter of advice
to a friend in Dublin, James O’Leary, who has done an
elementary Italian course and wants to improve his language skills. He has asked
you for some tips and advice.
You can use expression to give advice like: ‘Why don’t you…?’, ‘If I
were you, I……’, ‘What about….’, ‘I think you should….’, ‘It might be a good
idea to….’, Another useful thing to do would be to….’, ‘I wouldn’t worry too much
about……’ and ‘You could also……’.
Think about the layout, structure and normative
language for this type of informal letter. Work with your group. You will probably
need 2 meetings on a social media platform like Zoom. Make
sure you talk in English all the time. Someone in the meeting should act
as secretary and type the first draft on their pc as the others produce ideas
and sentences. They should send the draft to everyone. At the second meeting, you
should add to it, check it and correct it. The secretary sends it to me on behalf
of the group. Everyone keeps a copy. No individual letters, please. Take
your time. No hurry. Do the exercise properly.
Student's Book
Page 54-55, Practical English, sections 1-3, using
your online listening materials and working with a classmate or classmates on
WhatsApp or another social media platform.
Writing- Telling a Story (a narrative), page 118. Think about the structure, verb tenses and normative
language (expressions of time and sequence) for writing a narrative. Work with
your group (or better, a new group!). You will probably need 2 (or 3?) meetings
on a social media platform like Zoom. Make sure you
talk in English all the time. Someone in the meeting should act as
secretary and type the first draft on their pc as the others produce ideas and
sentences. They should send the draft to everyone so you all have the chance to
correct it and think of changes. At the second meeting, you should work
together to enrich the text and to eliminate the errors. The secretary sends it
to me on behalf of the group. Everyone keeps a copy. No individual stories,
please. Take your time. No hurry. Do the exercise properly.
Writing – Describing a friend, using
the vocabulary on pages 153 and 158, write a description of one of your best
friends (include their physical appearance and personality) and their relationship
with you (you can use the questions on page 53, exercise 4, section C and the
vocabulary in the other sections to get you started). Work with your group (or better, a new group!). You
will probably need 2 (or 3?) meetings on a social media platform like Zoom. Make sure you talk in English all the time. Someone in
the meeting should act as secretary. First exchange descriptions and decide
which one you want to work on as a group. Then try to correct and improve it.
You can add to it. It no longer belongs to the parson who wrote it, so you can
add what you want. The secretary should type out the agreed draft and circulate
it. Then have another meeting later to finalize it. No hurry. Do the exercise
properly. Then the secretary sends the final copy to me.
