In class two we are going to work on writing skills, focusing specifically on report writing (pages 26-27). As the topic of the report is festivals, we will also discuss festivals in Spain, and how they are celebrated. We’ll then look at an example question and how to structure and answer it.

Homework:

  • Describe the event, saying where and when it takes place
  • Say how popular it is and why
  • Outline some changes you think should be made

Write your report in 220-260 words in an appropriate style.
