Wild Club

In Language, we had to read the article "Wild Club" (from the Gold Experience book) and write a story that must begin or end like this: "What an amazing day! Max whispered to himself as he got into bed last night" We also had to use: five collocations, three phrasal verbs, five word formation, three bad weather conditions, four other words or phrases and five connectors.


This was the day Max was going to the zoo. It was 9.00 am and he opened the shutter thinking it was a sunny day. When Max opened it, he saw everything was flooded. He was dissatisfied with that day. Despite that he didn´t gave up and at 10:00 he was at the front door of the Zoo.
  When he was there, he appreciated that the place had burst it banks. The water had plummeted and he didn´t notice since he was overslept! Instantly, he was hooked by an open door. As soon as he saw it, he entered without knowing what was on the other side. Max was heartbroken with what he was observing. Sandbags to protect from water were everywhere. People form the Zoo running from one side to the other trying to help the animals. In between the minutes a hand held him and told to help her with the turtule. Furthermore he reopened his eyes, of course he was inexperienced!
    Max stayed all the day helping the people to rebuild the Zoo which was in a complete destruction while he watched the reconstruction of the wildlife habitat. Despite some things were thrown away, the objective was the conservation of species. They didn't run out of anything! -"What an amazing
day!-" Max whispered to himself as he got into bed last night.

The mysterious old house

In the class of l/l writting we had been working with stories. We read many types, also we worked with vocabulary and tenses. For the final task we had to write a story between 200 and 300 words, that have to finish with the sentence "That was the last time she/he ever saw them"

  Family Hudson decided to move to an old house in the countryside in Britain. Robert and Marylin had two beautiful twin daughter: Isabella and Alice. Both were 13 years old.

    The house was in bad conditions, it was about 100 years old. The grandfather of the grandfather of Robert Hudson had constructed it for summers. The family arrived at the house in a horrible stormy day. At night, as the they were tired of cleaning and ordering all the day they went to sleep, without even dine. The girls, shared a grey and black room with a big window where you had a huge view of the countryside. Both of the girls asked their parents if they could paint the room, but Marylin said that it had to be another day. Very huffy, Isabelle and Alice went to sleep. It was about 12 o'clock when suddenly a noise downstairs woke the girls up. They looked at each other, they were confused they didn't know what to think. Alice, stood up quickly, turned the light on, and got back to the bed again. They immediately fell asleep again. At 12:05 o'clock an other noise woke the girls up. This time they stood up and ran into their parents room. They told them the situation, and their parents asumed that a box had fallen down in the kitchen. That night, girls were allowed to sleep with them. In the morning the whole family woke up early and when they went to have breakfast their bird in the jail was dead covered of blood. The family didn't pay attention to it so that evening they decided to burry the bird. Isabelle refused and she decided to stay at the house to investigate how the bird died. It was about 8 o'clock and Isabelle noticed that her family didn't come back. As the hours passed by she started to get afraid and started crying. That was the last time she ever saw them.
