NA1 - Unit 7B: Describing places

In this lesson there is an exercise of describing a photograph, which is not very frequent in our daily life. However, we usually describe places we've been to, destinations we enjoyed a lot or our own favourite sites. apart from the photocopies I gave you in class, here you are some exercise to improve your vocabulary and your writing:

I hope this entry is useful but remember to have these tips in mind when you'r describing a place:

• Start the description thinkning that the person who is reading/listening to you might not have been there before. Take into account the typical questions: where it is that place, think of relevant details for the location and don't take anything for granted.
• Use adjectives and adverbs to make the description more lively.
• Make clear paragraphs: 1) as an introduction, start with the location 2) the most important sites of that place 3) what to do there 4) why that place is important for you 5) as a conclution say why that place is so relevant.

See you after Christmas, guys!
