Informal English (and complete the formal)- on your own!

Hi everyone. My cold has turned into pneumonia and I need a day to let my body recuperate..

So, today (read Monday 14th November) you can work at home and do the following:

1. Complete the piece of formal writing..

Send it as a document to the course on Vklass

2. Read today's blog post (BELOW!!!!)
A quick word about the timetable.

Today you will be writing some informal English 





This Friday's class is cancelled( SACO exhibition).

Next Monday is the translation

And today...
Today we are going to deal with the easiest part of our writing course- informal writing.


Some of the characteristics of informal writing are given in the "English C"text book on pages 95-98.

It is very important to remember that the same rules and constraints such as paragraphing, structure, spelling and correct grammar apply just as much in informal writing as in more formal forms.

Here are 3 assignments. Please choose one of them and write it NOW.


1. A letter or email to a pen-friend from another country who will be coming to spend the Christmas with you here in Dalecarlia.
You need to give the person some information about what they can expect, what to bring along and some general information about the celebration of Christmas in Sweden.


 
2. A diary entry for the week-end which has passed where you not only talk about events but also your feelings and expectations for the rest of 2016.

 
3. You write a lifestyle blog in English about being young in Sweden. Write a blog entry about Swedish youth culture and their attitudes to alcohol and partying.

Use the whole time you have in the lesson  to complete the assigment.

It should be in my digital mailbox by the beginning of next week...

Next Monday we will deal with the final part of our writing course- translation.
(materials  as usual will be on the blog)

Peace out! Cough! Cough! Cough!
