Esta descripción estará en español para que no quede ninguna duda en la realización de su escrito para el tercer parcial. Sigue los siguentes pasos:
1. Piensa en como sería o te gustaría que fuera tu futuro en diez años. Piensa en seis eventos futuros personales. Visualízalos.
2. Vas a realizar este escrito en tu cuaderno de inglés en una hoja limpia y ponle de título: Writing Exam Third Period y debajo de este título pon de subtítulo: My Life in Ten Years from Now
3. Harás seis dibujos representando cada evento a futuro y debajo de cada dibujo escribe un párrafo usando "will" y "going to". Cada párrafo debe tener un mínimo de treinta palabras.
4. Agrega color a tus dibujos para mejor presentación, no es una opción, en un requisito para alcanzar tu 10 :)
5. Puedes usar tu imaginación para hacerlo divertido e irreal, no importa si es algo que lo ves irreal.
6. Diviértete mientras lo haces y verás que te saldrá mejor :)
7. La fecha de entrega es el 8 de junio. Cada día que te atrases en entregarlo, sea la excusa que sea (a menos que tengas justificante autorizado por el colegio), te bajará un punto completo, o sea, para el 9 de junio lo máximo que vale tu "writing" es 9 y así sucesivamente.
Good luck! ;)
