SAMPLE COMPOSITIONS
1-A blog entry about a typical Sunday
Weekends are the best!
Saturday´s my favourite day. In the morning, I have a dance lesson. After that I help my mum around the house and then we have lunch. In the afternoon, we go shopping. In the evenings, I go to the cinema or watch a DVD.
On Sundays, I like to relax and have fun. In the morning, I get up late and have a big breakfast. In the afternoon, I visit my grandparents or go to the park with my friends. In the evenings, I listen to music or read a book and I have an early night.

3- A story
The Creature
Last winter, I travelled to the Rocky Mountains for a skiing holiday. I was really excited as I wanted to visit the Banff National Park and see Bigfoot. We started our journey in the morning.
We soon arrived at the national park. I wanted to take some photographs, so I walked into the forest. Suddenly, a creature that looked like a monkey appeared from behind a tree. “Was it Bigfoot?” I wondered.
I stepped back in surprise and shouted for help. My family tried to calm me down. A few seconds later, my dad started laughing. “It´s not Bigfoot, Jim. It´s a man. Look!” He was right. The man appeared from behind the trees. He was very tall and he had a big thick coat. I started laughing at my mistake, too.
We had a great time in the national park and we all enjoyed the scenery. It´s a pity Bigfoot wasn’t there though.
4-An email about rules
Hi Peter,
I´m here at a summer school in England. I arrived on Thursday. It´s great. There are lots of things to do and I´m learning lots of English.
We have to get up at 8 am every day, but we can eat whatever we want for breakfast. Our first class starts at 10 am and we mustn´t be late. After class, there are a lot of activities to choose from. We can play lots of sports and go horse riding or canoeing. In the evening, we have to be in bed before midnight. After the lights are out, we mustn´t talk. There are a lot of rules, but the camp is fun!
See you soon,
Pablo
Writing about your likes and dislikes in relation to free time and household chores. (use the frequency adverbs)
I haven´t got much free time, but when I have it, I often like watching TV and playing computer games. I also love going shopping with my best friend. Before going to bed I don´t mind reading a book or surfing the net. But I hate going to the cinema or eating out.
In relation to the household chores, I don´t like taking out the rubbish or walking the dog, and I hate doing the washing up or dusting the furniture and I can´t stand ironing my clothes. However, I don´t mind making my bed or washing the car, and I like cooking dinner.
5-An email comparing two places
Dear Bob,
There are so many beautiful places in my country. My two favourites are Madrid and Barcelona. Madrid is in the centre of Spain. There are many sights to see. It´s a historic city. On the other hand, Barcelona is a more exciting city. It has a lot of nightlife. It is famous for its cathedral.
What about you? Which places in your country do you like most? Why?
Write back soon.
Enrique.
6- An email about your holiday
Dear Christina,
Hi! How are you? We arrived in Edinburgh yesterday and we´re really excited about being here. We are staying at a beautiful hotel in the city centre. The weather is cool but sunny.
First of all, we´re going to see Edinburgh Castle. My mum and sister can´t wait to go shopping. My dad and I are going to go on a tour of the city. I´m also going to visit the museum.
That´s all my news. See you in a week.
Take care,
Frederico
7-A survey report: Class Film Survey
I asked ten people in my class four questions about films. Here are the results of my survey.
Here are the results of my survey.

A few of the people have been twice. Two people haven´t been at all. Most of the people liked adventure films, but some of them didn´t. No one liked jungle adventure films, but everyone liked disaster films.
8-An email about your neighbourhood
Hi Keith,
How are you? Sorry I didn´t write earlier, but we were busy moving house.
Our new flat is really nice. It´s on the 5th floor of a block of flats and it has a great view of the city. The neighbourhood is nice, too. There are a lot of shops and cafés nearby, although there isn´t a cinema. I really like the neighbourhood and the people here are really friendly.
Anyway, I´ve got to go now. Please write back soon. ´
Yours,
John
