Please, Sir … I want to write some more.

22nd August 2024

Today, we will learn how to write a review.

A review is what you think about a film, book, comic, video game, theatre piece, concert etc.

Your review will be in two parts:

Part One will have information, Part Two will have your opinions – what YOU think.

First, let’s watch a short clip from the film ‘Oliver’.

Here are the facts:

Film Name: Oliver Year: 1968 Country: UK

Director: Carol Reed Oliver Actor: Mark Lester

Genre: Musical

Now, write about the film:

How old is Oliver ? Where does he live ? Is his room comfortable or dirty ?

What does he do ? What does he see ? What are the people outside doing.

Remember to use lots of amazing adjectives, long sentences, and excellent expressions.

Young Learners, Levels 3 & 4. What is your perfect city ?

11th April 2023

Singapore, Seattle or Shanghai ?

Today, you will write about your perfect city.

What would you like in your city ?

What don’t you like ?

First, the positives (the good things). Guess what these buildings are:

parks / shops / museums / sports centres / schools / hospitals / interesting buildings / transportation /

However, not everything in a city is fantastic:

What are the problems … and what are the solutions (the answers) ? For example, in Singapore, if someone litters (throws rubbish on the street), they have to pay a fine, pay money to the police.

Now … your turn:

Write about what you want in YOUR city and why. Use amazing adjectives, and tell me why you would like these things.

Also, tell me what you DO NOT want, and why. How would you punish people who broke rules ?

You may also draw, but do the writing first.

Good luck and have fun !
