Xmas presents 4 all! 2012

[slideshow]

Hi, everyone!

Once again, Xmas time is nearly here, so I thought I could ask you for some presents, once more, just like last year.

The instructions are pretty much the same: you need to write me an email telling me what presents you bought. So let's imagine you won £1000 in a contest and you're going to spend that money on presents for your relatives, friends, and your English teacher -- don't forget to include me!!

You need to visit the following online shops and look for the right present, and explain why you chose them.

THANK YOU AND MERRY XMAS!

Creative writing

Sometimes, when we need to write about any given topic, one of the most difficult points is how to start writing: one thing that we can do is begin with simple ideas and go on expanding all the pieces of information that can be expanded. We can even combine large and short sentences. How about answering questions related to the characters? Or about the time and place in which the story takes place? Use your imagination, make a picture in your mind of what is happening, remember that it is your own story, and also keep in mind that practice makes perfect.

Take a look at the examples below and then... START TO WRITE!
