LIFE EXPERIENCES

THINGS I'VE DONE



I've been to London many times. I first went there when I was 18. I worked as an au-pair on my summer holidays.
It's an exciting place but you need a lot of money to live there.


THINGS I HAVEN'T DONE




I've never jumped out of a plane. I don't think I really want to because it looks scary. Maybe one day I will when I'm brave enough.



Have you done any exciting or interesting things? Write about them.

Write about something you have always wanted to do, but haven't done yet.

USE the PresenT Perfect Simple.

Summer Photographs




Last August I spent some days in Paris with my family. I had been in Paris before but in a way I can say that I discovered the city again!
Do you recognize the places?


I know summer is over,but I'm sure you all have got memories of it: a trip with your family or friends; a good book you read; a nice walk with a special friend, a place you just discovered; going around with friends...The list is really endless.

Possibly you took photographs of these so fantastic moments. Why don't you share them with your classmates amd me?

Display some of these photos. Write a few sentences about them and make a label or photograph caption to go beneath.
