You can start your list with these phrases:

Tâche formative

Now, imagine that you've completed a research project as part of a Service project in which you look at education in different countries...

You decide to write an email of 100 - 150 words to a friend in another IB school in which you compare your school to the Congolese school you've just learned about.

What to include?

Remember it's a comparison, so...

You must include things that are the same, for example:

Dans mon collège et au collège à Banga Bola il y a des professeurs. 

You must also include any differences, for example:

Dans mon collège, il y a des ordinateurs, mais au collège à Banga Bola il n'y a pas d'ordinateurs.

You can also include other things that you've learned this unit, such as your opinions on both schools (including reasons of course!), and what you study and when. Use what you've learned, and not what you find on Google Translate or from parents!

Don't forget it's an informal email, so make sure you include all the conventions of one! 

(Remember your feedback from Unit 1's writing assessment)
