If you need, here you will find a lot of activities for extra practice.
You have to carry out two activities in your Treball de Síntesi. One of them is to write about one of your outings. In order to practise a bit before you actually write it, I have found these pictures.
ACTIVITY: Look at the following pictures. Imaging these are pictures of your visit. Describe what you did.

What about this great celebration? What do you know? What can you do?
Read the following article and answer these questions. Write your answer in EWC.
1- Where is Saint George’s day celebrated?
2- What gifts do you give to people on this day? When did this custom start?
3- Explain Saint George’s legend
4- What else do people celebrate on 23 April? Why was this date chosen?
Now we are going to write some poem for our school competition. Read the following:
What is a cinquain?
Adapted from http://www.abcteach.com/free/h/howto_cinquain.pdf
A cinquain poem has five lines. The word comes from the French cinq, which means five. Cinquains are similar to haiku in that the rules for writing them are based on syllables. However, we will work on an alternate version of the cinquain poem, often called a “word cinquain”. This cinquain is based on words, instead of syllables. “Word cinquains” have the following pattern:
Line 1 1 word
Line 2 2 words
Line 3 3 words
Line 4 4 words
Line 5 1 word
There are no specific rules about writing a cinquain other than that it must have five lines and the correct word count.
Here is an example taken from http://edhelper.com/ReadingComprehension_27_80.html
Tree
Sturdy, Tall
Climbing, swinging, playing
Fun among the branches
Maple
Go to the following site to read some more cinquains:

Now can you solve this logic riddle?
Finally, would you like to write a poem and give it to your best friend on Valentine’s Day? Well, here is an idea. You can use your friend’s name to write a poem about him/her. Read the following example:
CAROL
Crazy, creative cat-lover
Always late for school
Reading’s a passion and
Olives an aversion but I just
Love lying on the beach and lazing in the sun.
(Taken from the British Council LearnEnglish Kids Poetry Competition 2006)
By Collen Proppe
Now you try!!! You can make your own card and then write your poem in it.
You have to write about your best friend for homework. Remember in class we read this description?
A good friend
My cousin’s name is Darren. He’s fourteen and he lives near me in Darlington.
Darren is a good friend. I like him because he’s funny. We sometimes disagree – he likes
hip hop, but I hate it.
I often go to Darren’s house. We sometimes watch TV together. I like going to the sports centre
with him. We play basketball and tennis.
(English Alive 1)
Here is another description:
My best friend’s name’s Maureen. She’s from Glasgow, in Scotland. She’s 14 years old and her birthday is in January. She’s not very tall. She’s got brown hair and blue eyes. She’s got two brothers but she hasn’t got a sister. Her brothers are ten and five years old. At home she has got a dog called Max.
Her favourite hobbies are going to the cinema with her friends and listening to music. Her favourite film is Starsky and Hutch, probably because Owen Wilson is her favourite actor. She’s is not very interested in football or other sports.
(adapted from Macmillan Secondary Course 2)
