TASK 5. YOUR ADVERTISEMENT

Hi! Here we are in our next project. This time you're going to design an advertisement to sell your product. To do this you need to think of 5 comparatives and 5 superlatives to describe your product.
Here I give you a list of adjectives that you can use:
MODERN- USEFUL- GOOD- RELIABLE- CHEAP- EFFICIENT- INTERESTING- PRACTICAL- QUIET- BIG

Don't forget the rules about comparatives and superlatives!!
Here you have my example!.

Hi! I'm here in order to offer THE OLDEST ship you've ever seen.
Although it seems destroyed, it is THE MOST RELIABLE ship you would ever buy.
This is CHEAPER THAN any other you would find in the market. It is also BIGGER THAN the one that is being sold together with this ship.
This ship is called "Wreckage" and I think it is THE CUTEST name I've ever heard. Wreckage is a LONGER name THAN Wreck, so if you want to make it SHORTER, you can call it Wreck.
Everybody who has travelled on this ship says that it is QUIETER THAN any other means of transport.
So don't hesitate and buy Wreckage, THE BEST and LEAST LUXURIOUS ship you can ever have!

After several months, here you are!!!!!!! Together!!!!!!

ANOTHER WORLD. CHAPTER BY CHAPTER

Chapter 2 (Laura)
The bus stopped in front of the building an BZ got off, he saw the strange girl and he wanted to meet her but she didn't look at him and BZ went into the building with his friends.
The subject for that day was "Be a good friend" and " Do people like you?". BZ thought about the girl on the bus, when the students were having lunch in the flower garden.
BZ thought about his future he thought " I'm going to he on the team because the team is good and this makes me feel good and it is important that people are happy".
Then, he opened his eyes and saw the girl with grey eyes. She greeted him, she talked with him and then BZ said "please have some of my salad it's very good" but she said "no" and BZ got surprised because "no" was a bad word.
The birds sang " go to work, boys and girls. Back to work". The people stood up and she invited BZ to the dance at night.
Chapter 3 (Melina)
Dancing Is Good For You
BZ arrived in the House of Music and met Eve. He started a conversation but Eve didn´t say anything. When they entered, Eve asked BZ about her number because all the students had a number but Eve said that she had a name. BZ felt afraid because he thought that being different was ugly but this girl was beautiful.
Then Eve took BZ out of the place, they went near some water. Eve started to talk about another world, the real world. She said that in Eden City people weren´t free. In the real world people loved, hated, lived in families, they got ill, they got old, they died, but they were free. BZ didn´t believe her and he wanted to forget all this but he couldn´t. Eve said sorry and said that she could show him the real world that night.

Chapter 4 (Gracia)
Bz followed Eve to the end of the street. He felt strange. He looked at the wall in the street and he saw two men with guns. She told him about the lift. Then they got into one of the big boxes to the real world. The boxes came full of things. They carried things from the real world to Eden city. Suddenly they were in the lift. The doors closed and the journey started. In the journey he thought about his friends and his life before Eve. Then Bz asked Eve why she wanted to show him the real world. She answered that she thought he was a good person, intelligent and he was going to be in the Team. He asked why she was different. She told him she couldn’t answer that question at that moment. Then the journey finished.


CHAPTER 5 (Nadia)
The lift stopped in the real world and Bz was surprised because it was very different from Eden City.
In London there were buses, cars and taxis.
They went to a cafe, Bz was very afraid because he didn't understand anything.
Eve showed him the money and she told him that people had to work, and she showed a beggar and Bz was scared.
Eve said "Dont't worry" come on let's go!
Chapter 6 (Brenda)
Bz and Eve took a taxi.In the taxi Eve showed BZ the city.He didn't understand anything about the real world. Bz was embarrassed because the real world was very different. He saw big houses with lovely gardens.
The taxi driver heard the conversation and he thought that Bz was crazy because Bz didn't know about family, money, houses and old people.Bz said that Eden City vas different but Eve said that Eden City wasn't so different because they had clothes, the same food and they were happier in the real world. She talked about her family and Bz was embarrassed. She invited him to her house to meet her family.

TASK 3. MY MOST MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE.

My most memorable experience was nine years ago. It was Thursday 21st January.
I was working at home. I was using the computer and writing a book for my students. I was with a friend.
I was pregnant and my son was supposed to be born on 5th February. Apparently he was eager to come to this world. I started feeling some contractions but I didn't pay much attention to them at first. Later on, as they started being more frequent I decided to go to hospital with my husband.
I was really calm and extremely happy, before going to hospital I told my husband that I wanted to go to a park. We stayed there and after some minutes we went inside the hospital.
The nurse who examined me said that Tommy was about to be born.
Tommy was born in less than an hour so everything was really simple and I was fascinated with my son.
I still remember his little round face and his red cheeks.
That was the most important moment of my life, it was the moment I could feel my son in my arms. It was a marvellous feelings and it still is!!!!!!!!
What about you? What is your most memorable experience?
Don't forget to:
Organize your ideas first.
Use linking devices (first of all, then, etc)
Write all the text in the past!
Check your grammar!
DON'T FORGET TO SEND ME YOUR PHOTO!!

My most memorable experience was last year in a school trip. I remember that on the last day we were all in a park talking about the time of our separation. At that moment I was very sad because of all the love we felt for each other. Then everyone read a note and after that we all cried and we embraced each other… It was the best trip of my life.

Task 1


My name is Ale. I'm a teacher. I've been teaching English for a long time. I work at different schools and I also have private students.
I get up very early in the morning and go to bed quite late. It's really hard for me to get up so early!
After work I drive to my son's school and I pick him up. He's really happy because he doesn't like coming back home with the school van.
During the week my life is always working, cooking, cleaning etc. But I also play with my son and we sometimes watch videos together. He always asks me to help him with his homework. In fact, what he likes is that I just stay there looking at him.
When my husband arrives home we have dinner and we talk about our day. After that, Tommy goes to bed and I watch TV with my husband.
At weekends I go to Megatlon and I generally swim with my son. In the afternoons I have my art class. I love going there. I'm not good at painting or drawing but I really enjoy my time there.
In the evenings we go out or sometimes we go to the supermarket (Yes, on Saturdays!)
On Sundays we go to a country club or visit friends. We do different activities at weekends.

What about you? What can you tell me and your classmates about your routine?
