Situations and Descriptions

Hi 4 Band 1
As spoken to you this morning, this is the task for you. Please write descriptive paragraphs based on the following situations. Remember that you are required to infuse the descriptive words we have learnt so far. Also I would be looking at the sentence structures. Basically there must be a variety. Have fun.

1  A poor man is standing outside the gates of a big mansion.

2   A pretty woman is waiting at the traffic light for someone.

3  A pedophile is waiting to pounce on his innocent victims.

4  The biggest lose ( you know what I mean) is talking about his weight loss and the prize money.

5   The little match girl is shivering in cold and refusing to go home for fear of her step-father.

N.B. I hope that by thetime you post your comments you have removed any objectionable statements.

Remember to write the names of your group members.
