The best Halloween competition (2011)

Dear students,

I remind you that the stories you wrote in November to continue the first Chapter of "Owl Hall" are already available in the English4PET website: http://www.palimpalem.com/4/English4PET/ (in the Competition Corner).

I also would like to congratulate all the people who have participated in this competition as they have created really nice Chapters 2 for this beautiful and mysterious story.

Well, now it's time to vote. Remember the rules:

1) You can only give 5 points to ONE story. The best story for you!

2) You can only give 4 points to ONE story. The second best story for you!

3) The other stories can be given 3, 2 or 1 points each.

4) Obviously, YOU CANNOT VOTE FOR YOUR OWN STORY!

5) You can't tell anyone what your story or nickname is!!!

Well, good luck to all of you!

A terrible holiday

Dear students,

This month you will have to write a short story (no more than 100 words) in which you have to explain the worst holiday you have ever had in your whole life. If you are a lucky person and something like this has never happened to you, use your imagination, please!

For help you can consult page 8 in your workbook (exercise 1 in the Writing Section is a fantastic piece of information).

Read the stories of your partners and vote for the best ones, too! Justify why they are the best ones, ok?

Take care and write soon.

Your English teacher
