Who wants to be a Millionaire?


Wednesday 



1. Läs/hör först - behöver ni träna på hörförståelse? Använd länkarna på bloggen och här nedanför. 

Det finns olika typer av texter. De vanligaste texter som dyker upp på ett nationellt prov är ofta: 

* Argumenterande text (t ex att skriva ett debattinlägg el. insändare i en tidning = tycka till om något)

* Brev 

Läs igenom beskrivningarna på två olika typer av texter. Titta på själva strukturen/upplägget av texten, den är relativt lika för de flesta texter. (Headline, intro, a few paragraphs, conclusion). 

1. Read about personal essays on page 148 - 149 (AWESOME - Textbook)

2. Read about argumentative essays page 154 - 155 


1. What to think about when writing a text in English!

* Think about ALL the the things that you should think about when writing a text in any language!

In English - think about spelling, grammar, paragraphs, agreement/concord. Linking words. 


Kanske det allra vanligaste felet i en text: kongruens - eller på engelska "concord" = samstämigheten mellan olika relaterade ord


Verbkongruens är 
överensstämmelsen mellan subjekt (jag, hon, osv.) och predikat (verb). Subjekt och predikat ska stämma i person och tal. När de gör det, säger vi att de kongruerar - dvs att de är böjda så att de “passar ihop”.


Läs igenom texten. Försök att "rätta" tillsammans med kompis. "It feel" = kongruensfel (concord/agreement error). Det ska ju vara "it feels"


Hi!
My name is N. I am fifteen years old. I am a very happy girl and I like to meet other people very much! I live in X, a very small place there not so much happen. But I like to live here beacuse it feel safe here. I live whit my mother and youngsister in a house. I have four sisters more but two of them live in Y so I dont meet them so much. My other two sisters live here in X. I meet them more often. I like to have only sisters, I can talk whit them about everything, it feels good. Why I think I will join the camp is beacuse I like to meet other people and it would be fun to have more friends! Activities could be that all the teenangers sit in small groups and talking shortly about there life so everyone get to now eachother a little bit. I would be a great start on the camp I think. And then we can look at movies and just spend some time whit eachother. Out doors activities can be that we play football and maybe we can have a barbiecue! It would be nice. And we can have som teater or something. Mabye a show there everyone can sing and dance if they want to. This camp is great for teenangers that like to get some more friends and just love to meet other new people! And I think that it is so much to discuss when you join a camp like this. Bye!


My name is X X. I am 15 years old. I live in a small town in Sweden. My hobbies is my friends and to ride with my skateboard. I want to join the International Youth camp beacuse I like to meet new friends and things I dont see regulary. Then It’s good to learn from other people and places. And It would be very great to join this camp so I can meet new friends for life. There is a lot of things we could do at the camp. Like theme sports so we can learn to know the other people on the camp. Like Football and sports there are teams so you have to coperate. Then it would be great to vote for things we can do. Because all can do anything you like. And all don’t have to do all of the things. On the camp we could descuss aboute people that not have so good. Like children that lives on the streets. I think It is a very important thing to descuss. And then we could talk how it is in the places and lands we are from. How we live and things like that. That would be fun. In the future it would bring people togeter and may be you can go more times than one and met more friends. That is the greatest. To see more of the world and met people. Then you learn other cultures from the whole world. Maybe you meet more friends for life. This camp is very good to people that want to learn aboute allsorts of things. Like other languides. I realy want to go on this camp so i can get some experience from other countries. This was all from me. / X X
