Unit 1 • Description
1.3 Writing practice
Whichever of these tasks you choose to do, share your writing with other
students. Perhaps you could put your writing, with the picture, on the classroom
wall or in a class magazine.
A Find, in a magazine, on a postcard or in a book , a photograph you like very
much. Describe it, and say why you like it (100-200 words).
B Describe your favourite family photo. and say why you like it (100-200 words).
C A Game
Everyone brings a family photo to class; you swap photographs with a partner
and write about the photog raph as if it was your own. Invent names for the
people in the photo, pretend you know them well, and tell stories about them. (In
fact, the author of 'Skegness Donkey Ride' was playing this game!)
If your partner writes about the same photograph, the rest of the class can try
to guess who is telling the truth , you or your partner.

Steal a clay's sailboarding and the 4Runne r will go
li ke the w ind to the surf. And if the quick w ay mean s
scaling the rocks, it will relish the climb.
O n the road. the tilt-adju stable power steering gains
firmness as the car gathers speed.
Better still, it grows lighter as those alloy wheels con ­

furrows off your brow.)
