HI EVERYBODY

The object of this new project about the anglo-saxon world is to help you understand more about the language and the environment of English. We will be using modern methods of communication.

I am sure you won't have any problem using computer technology. By using this blog and giving your opinions, you can learn English in an interactive and fun way.

You can take part writing in English, because this blog is a simple extension of what you are learning in class.

4º ESO MY PARADISE - speaking exam



  • Read the following information, it is very useful for the exam :
  • DESCRIBING PLACES  (my paradise :)When we describe something,we want to give the reader or listener  a good idea of what it looks like.
  • A descriptive composition about  a place  -MY PARADISE -should consist of :a) an introduction in which  you give  the name and location and the reason for choosing it :WHY DOES THIS PLACE ATTRACTS YOU?; b) a main body in which you describe the main aspects in detail AND YOUR PERSONAL EXPERIENCE HERE, ; and c) a conclusion which includes your comments/feelings and/or recommendations.
  • To give the LISTENER a more vivid picture of the place at the moment  you are describing, you can refer to the senses ( sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch) using unusual adjectives:
  • As I walk down to the coast from my hotel, the sand, as white and pure as snow, extends along the whole expanse of the seashore. I hear the seagulls loudly shriek as they soar gracefully above. As I step onto the beach, the soft, warm sand squishes between my toes. My nostrils detect the sweet lotion mixing with the crisp breeze off of the ocean. When I near the water I hear the crashing waves collide against the shore with their relaxing, rhythmic splashes like smooth jazz. Stepping into the water, Ifeel its cool touch envelop my legs and slowly rise up my body as I wade out farther into the sea. Plunging under the surface, I taste the bitter salt of the ocean in my mouth and rise back to the surface. While the sun leisurely sinks into the ocean, I see majestic dolphins leap out of the dark blue water and dive back in as if silently saying farewell to the gorgeous day.
  • Read the description above and translate, send me the translation.
