Why do you need this?

We learn how to write clearly because it helps us share our thoughts and ideas better. Being able to write well makes it easier for us to learn more English and use it in many parts of our lives, like talking to others, writing messages, or even at work or school in the future.

We are going to watch this video about a day in a life of a student at Columbia University. Take notes on some daily routines you see.

What have you seen in the video? Which routines were shown? (e.g. I wake up at 7 AM)

Write about your daily routine

Write 5 or 6 simple structured sentences about your daily routine.

• Example: 'I wake up at 6 AM. I have breakfast at ... AM.'

The simple structure is: subject + verb + object

Peer Review

Exchange your sentences with your classmates. You can do that by giving your iPad to your neighbour or email your file.

What are you going to do:

1. Do you have 6 sentences?
2. Is the structure correct: subjects + verb + object
3. Use the Word spell checker to see if all the sentences are correct.
4. Give feedback on the things you found.

Practice writing independently

Write a short paragraph of 6 sentences about your favourite hobby or weekend activity.

Give an answer to one of the following questions:

• What is your favourite hobby?
• What do you do at the weekend?

The simple structure is: subject + verb + object

You can use the new vocabulary on the next slide or the previous list.
