Firstly, let me welcome our new ESO-3 students: you’re new to the level and to this blog too!
Secondly, the writing task… Well, imagine yourself in a remote land, a very distant place you want to be, or you’re are in with your friends on a school trip. Do you imagine it? Now, write a letter to your best friend, a really close friend you usually exange confidences with. Tell him/her how exotic the place is, what you’re doing there (visiting, exploring, taking notes for a school project…), what you’re visiting next, whatever anecdotes you find amusing, etc.
Not enough ideas? Then, have a look at the models in your school books.
Far far away…

Dear Mum,
I’m in a place far far away with my friends. Were having a bad time!
At the moment we’re walking and walking. We’re doing a school project on Desert of Sahara.I’m writing you because I’m very frightened.
This afternoon we’re eating some sandwiches. My friend Sara is singing and the rest are dancing. I don’t understand! They’re very happy and I’m frightened.
Tomorrow we’re visiting a pyramid. It’s a famous monument of Egypt. Tomorrow afternoon we’re having a lunch, a big lunch!

Dear Miguel (if you’re him):
Can you take a map and say me where am I? Well, I supose that you can’t do it, but it’s not important now. I’ve a lot of things to exlain to you.
Because it’s the most strange place that I never said! I’m in a lost island after the ship where I were is sinked this morning, at 10:27 exactly! The plants in here are bad-tempered and I think they’re carnivor too! And the animals in here that normally don’t eat meat only eat that now, and the normally carnivor animals are herbivor now (and very friendly, too).
At the moment I’m in the deep island’s forest .I called it ‘the Death Forest’ because it’s full of hungry plants and animals that in here they’re dangerous (dogs, cats, rabbits, and another domestical animals). But I met a nice aligator; I think it’s the most friendly aligator in the world, because he defends me of the dangers in here. It’s incredible, it isn’t that?
Well, maybe I not see you (and nobody) never, but if it’s right, say to all my family that I always loved it!
Hope to see you soon.
Best wishes,
Your cousin,
Antonio Duarte

I don´t know where is my family and my dear boyfriend. I´m only
know a bus, is walking to my house and says:
– a person to see you.
We´re going to a decert site and that leaved me and desapared fast.
Now… I´m very strange, because I´m felt nothing, no pain, no
love for no body people. Only recorded to see finally to a girl whit white
clothes, and she says:
– I kill you…
I´m dead…
