In this unit you are going to write a summary. First, read the text on page 146 of your student's book and write a summary of 60-80 words. Before writing have a look on the following steps to help you:
Step 1 Read the text carefully and identify the main ideas so you can decide which to include in your summary.
Step 2 Paraphrase senteces when possible. What is paraphrasing? Paraphrasing, or rewriting sentences in your own words, is a useful skill when summarising. When paraphrasing we shorten or combine sentences, often using connectors.
Step 3 Use connectors to shorten or combine sentences to be more concise. In this blog you can find a link to a list of connectors and their translation into Spanish. Have a look here!
Step 4 You can get more help on page 141 (writing guide) of your student's book
Step 5 Check your work for mistakes.
