Expressing purpose

Dear NI2,

here's the power point presentation I showed you in class, in case you want to save it or revise.

The Butler

Hi there!

As I told you, my colleague Mª José is organizing an evening at the movies. Here's the poster with the info you need. Remember that you have to bring the money before Wednesday, 27th November. (I'm still not sure if you'll get a discount, but I've already asked Mª José and I'll let you know as soon as she tells me...)

A blog to learn to write

Hi there! 
here's a blog where you can learn to write EOI exam tasks, vocabulary and expressions. Thanks, María, for sending me the link!

Cultural Day

Dear All,
we're having a Cultural Day at the School on 9 December and we want to you to actively participate in it. One of the activities we want to promote is the writing of literary texts. Here's what you have to check depending on your level:

Haiku contest for Basic Levels
Mini-saga contest for Intermediate Levels
Short story contest for Advanced Levels

Don't underestimate your creative capacities and start putting your ideas down on paper!

City vocabulary

Dear NI2,

here's a handout with vocabulary exercises that I'm setting as homework for next week. We'll correct the exercises and use the vocab in class!

Typical mistakes

And here's the document I showed you to comment on typical Intermediate mistakes. It can hopefully help you as a checklist before you hand in any writing assignment. 

Writing assignment

Hi!
Here's the writing assignment for next week (Wed. 6th & Thurs. 7th Nov.):

Write an email to a friend/relative telling them about a book/film you've recently read/seen and that you would recommend (or not).
Write between 125-150 words. 

Remember to use appropriate opening and closing formulas and to use the 4-paragraph structure we saw in class. Here's a handout elaborated by another teacher that can help you learn useful vocabulary and expressions. (Thanks to Saro Rosales!)
