WRITING FILE
What’s a Writing File?
It’s a resource you can use every year, like a clean copy of the part of your notebook where you work on writing assignments.
A Writing File includes information on
❖ Your name, group, level, course year on the top right corner
❖ Task Description: info on the type of text you are writing & the word limit / word count
❖ Your writing assignment and your LoM:
▪ optional: brainstorming & outline: gathering ideas, selecting them and organizing them
▪ optional: brainstorming on language*: gathering useful language (words, phrases, and language items, like “present simple”, “present continuous”, “time phrases”)
▪ writing assignment – checked by your teacher
▪ list of mistakes (LoM) to avoid (a evitar!)
▪ optional: clean copy

Hello family!
Here I am, in London! It’s very exciting.
Every day I have a plan! In the morning I visit museums and in the afternoon I go for walks in parks. Parks are amazing. Nobody bothers you and you can see different people and animals. I am also trying different kinds of food! English, Scottish, Indian, Iranian…
Yesterday I went to the British Museum and I visited the Tate Gallery.
Tomorrow I plan to go to Candem Town Street Market to get some presents!
I hope you are OK!
Big hug!
