5.3. Conversational Topic: Speak about your plans to visit one of the English-speaking countries – When? Why? What?
6. Written Task
Use the vocabulary of the texts A, B, C and write an essay “Why does Great Britain / or the USA attract tourists?”
Follow the structure of any writing in the English language, it consists of three steps:
Introduction: the purpose and content of our writing is presented in two-three sentences.
Main body: two or more paragraphs will cover the topic. Each of them presents a separate viewpoint supported by reasons / examples. Ideas should be united with the help of linking words as: to begin with / to start with; personally, I think, to tell you the truth / frankly speaking, as a matter of fact, this would mean that, instead of, inspite of / despite, however, besides, what is more, in this way, although, such as, for example, in conclusion, so that, on condition that, finally, all things considered, etc. Avoid a ‘good-bad’ syndrom but use a variety of other adjectives and adverbs to make your writing attractive both to you and a reader.
Conclusion: we summarise our opinion using different words, either we can give our personal comments and recommendations.
Checklist: before handing in your piece of writing, check the content (interesting / well developed?), the organization (paragraphs and sentences well-linked together?); accuracy (if there are any errors in spelling, punctuation, grammar, etc) and a range of vocabulary and grammar.
