It´s time to write!

Hi all!!

What we are going to do now is a short writting. You are going to describe a place you like or you would like to go. For doing that you will have a little example of a place that I like. 

This is my example!


DARTMOOR NATIONAL PARK
Dartmoor is a National Park in the south-west of England. A moor is an area of high land with rough grass and bushes. Dartmoor is the biggest and wildest area of countryside in the south of England. There are many low hills and granite rocks. Dartmoor is famous for its ponies, which are small and strong and live on the moor. Dartmoor is a very popular place for hiking, cycling, camping and riding.



After you red the example, download the word document by dropbox to write your own description.

Reading texts

Hi!!


Today we are going to read a text and then you will do a little exercise of comprehension.




What are icebergs?

Icebergs are floating blocks of frozen fresh water. Icebergs form when a block of ice breaks off from a glacier and floats in the sea. When this happens, there is often a huge explosion and a noise like thunder.


Icebergs vary in shape and size. The biggest icebergs are more than 120 metres above the sea and several kilometres long. Strong winds and waves in the sea often make icebergs interesting and beautiful shapes. Only a small part of an iceberg is visible above the sea and the rest is always under the water. This is what makes icebergs a danger to ships. Icebergs travel slowly and it sometimes takes several years for an iceberg to melt.

After reading the text, try and have a guess in the next exercise!!
