Hello!

People travel more and more every day and I'm sure most of you have travelled a lot for years, so tell us. Add a photo to your post and tell us your experience in a beautiful place you have visited.

It can be great to share our experiences of different places.

I hope to receive your comments on several places. So, come on, let's start writing!

Critical summaries

Hi, again

Now, it would be a great idea to write a critical summary. I've chosen a text on the Internet (the word "text" is a link to find the text) about the greenhouse effect, because it's something all of us know, and so, after reading it, you can write a summary about it. You can find how to write a critical summary in the file of unit 3. If you don't like this text, you can write a summary of another one, just tell me where it is.

I hope to read your essays soon.

The state of travel to Japan. Should business travellers return?

Hi, everybody.

Here I am, again. Now I suggest writing about the business travellers in Japan. I have found an interview on the Internet about it, and I think it's an important theme to talk about in English. You can read the interview here.

You don't have to write a long text, just some lines or words, for example 120 words. Just try it. It could be very funny and interesting to write here in English. Don't worry too much about mistakes, they will disappear as long as you write in English.
See you,

How to prepare when travelling to earthquake-prone regions.

Everybody knows what happened in Japan some days ago and how horrible it is for Japanese people despite the fact the Japanese society was used to living with earthquakes.

Japan has been a very famous tourist destination; so, let’s write here about the recommendations for people who want to travel to earthquake-prone regions.

You can read something about it first and then write you own essay.

Can the smoking ban affect tourism?

Hello.

As everybody knows, the Spanish government, like others in Europe, passed a new smoking ban a few months ago, and we could write here about the advantages and disadvantages of this related to tourism. Can this ban affect tourism?

Come on, write here in English about the possible consequences of this measure. I don't want you to write about Politics, just to write about advantages or disadvantages. Here you can read about this law on the Internet.

Come on, it's not so difficult and you need to start writing now.

See you soon!

Complaint letters

Hi everybody,

I'm Ana Vázquez, one of the TAR (Tutoras de Apoyo en Red). The ED (Equipo Docente) and the TARs (Ann and I) have decided to create this blog so that you can write in English. We know how difficult it is for a student to write in a language different from their own; however it's very important to try to do it.

So, let's start to write in English. So, this time I suggest writing a complaint letter. In the PDF file, in the forum of unit 1, you can find some information about complaint letters, the structure, so now, try to write one. The ED and the TARs are going to correct you, but we also think that it's very important you try to correct your own mates; it's collaborative writing and learning.

Come on and try it. It could be funny.
