LAST ENGLISH POST.... DON´T MISS IT....

HOWDY FOLKS. HERE WE GO AGAIN!!!

Think of a case of serendipity in your life, or in the life of someone you know.

I suggest you first plan your writing by thinking of

-where the event took place,
-what you were doing at that time,
-what you had been doing before the event,
-what the unexpected thing was,
-what the result was.

Write the story using connectors and phrases (writing, page 53, in your book) .

And I have a question for you.

Do you remember at the beginning of the course we discussed the possibility of having a debate? Do you think we could have it next Monday after the test?

Think about it.

See you soon.

Paula
