Writings

Hi again!!

Today I post some writing samples that can help you to organize the written expression. 
I've been surfing the net trying to get the best examples, so I hope  it works!!!Have  a look, don' t study word by word what they are saying because sometimes connectors are missing... Just  see how the ideas are introduced and the grammar is used.

Some of the  writings are for both NI1/2 , the level of writings can be adapted to the levels -depending on the grammar,vocab ,connectors and structures you would use.

Ahhhh... there are a few writings /ideas which we haven't seen in our course so you don't have to focus on them. These writings are:
-Promoting slow cities
-Discussing private / public medicine
-DVD: Inception
-Letter of complaint
-Short notes

Energy for September!!!xxxxxx
