ESO4 WRITING: Describing a celebrity

       Sample of a composition: describing a celebrity. In red you can find important connectors you can use (to improve fluency). In blue, expressions to organize the paragraphs. In green, frequency adverbs.

MY FAVOURTIE CELEBRITY, by Humberto Burcet

            My favourite singer is Andrea Corr. She is 30 years old and she is from Ireland. She sings in a group called The Corrs.
            She has got dark hair and brown eyes and a beautiful smile. She usually dresses very casual, but in concerts she often wears trendy clothes. She does not have any piercings or tattoos. However she wears a ring and a bracelet in the picture.

•           She is extrovert and friendly. In addition, she has got a good sense of humour. On the other hand, she has a wonderful voice. However, she is very bossy sometimes. 
•          One thing she loves is singing in concerts. On the other hand, she enjoys playing the tin whistle, a traditional Irish instrument. Nevertheless, she hates long journeys: she is afraid of planes so she normally travels by car.
•          In conclusion, she is a great singer and I think that both her appearance and her personality are always beautiful!

Here you have the Powerpoint presentation for Unit 2. I'm also pasting the structure and a sample of the composition you have to write (don't forget to include a picture of the celebrity you are describing!). The assessment will be based on the following criteria:

  • 25% Fluency (connectors: and, but, however, on the other hand, although, in addition, both... and...)
  • 25% Accuracy (agreement, spelling, word order, etc..)
  • 25% Vocabulary (rich vocabulary, synonyms, antonyms, phrasal verbs, false friends)
  • 25% Originality (get good ideas and go beyond the standard text; include a photo!)
Remember to hand in your composition ON TIME! Monday, November 21st.
