COMPOSITION FILE 2

NIGHTMARE JOURNEY

Deadline: December 5th (groups 6 and 10) or 13th (groups 11 and 14: I'll explain next week what you have to do)

Write about a nightmare journey you have had or invent one (between 150 - 180 words)

• Paragraph 1: When? Where? Who? Why?
  




• Paragraph 2: What happened?





• Paragraph 3: What happened in the end?

Some tips:
You are writing a narrative so remember to use time connectors. Here you have some of them:
First (of all), at first, suddenly, as soon as, until, then, next, before, after, after that, afterwards, when, while, during, soon, immediately, finally, eventually.
If you are not sure about how to use them, use a dictionary to read some examples.

And.. after the nightmare... A JOKE
When travelling good funny situations may happen too, so here you have a joke of a journey by train. ENJOY YOURSELF!!
A man and a woman who have never met before find themselves in the same sleeping carriage of a train.
After the initial embarrassment, they both manage to get to sleep; the woman on the top bunk, the man on the lower.
In the middle of the night, the woman leans over and says, "I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm awfully cold and I was wondering if you could possibly pass me another blanket."
The man leans out and, with a glint in his eye, says, "I've got a better idea. Let's pretend we are married."
"Why not," giggles the woman.
"Good," he replies. "Get your own damn blanket."

WELCOME TO MY BLOG

Dear Intermediate I students,

Although my computer knowledge is quite basic and when using new technologies I'm frequently in trouble, I've created this learning tool so that you can continue your learning process at home. You are going to find useful links to websites that can help you to improve the four skills and from time to time I'll post some extra activities on the topic or unit we are studying.

I hope you find it useful.

Andrea

Good luck tomorrow!
