WRITING ACTIVITY 2ND ESO

Comparing objects, people, places...



Think about two people, places and objects you want to compare. Then, go to Google Imágenes and choose a photograph of these. Cut and paste the photos in a Word document, and in pairs, write a short description (physical description) of the people you have chosen and then, compare them, writing your opinion (In my opinion, ____ is better than ____). With the objects and places, just compare them. Look at the example provided.

She is Victoria Beckham. She has got short straight hair. Her hair is blond. She is pretty and she is Beckhma's wife. She is an English singer. She sings in a group called Spice Girls. She is the "posh" Spice Girl. She has got three children.



She is Penélope Cruz. She has got long straight hair. Her hair is dark. She is very beautiful and she is Barden's girlfriend. She is a Spanish actress. She is very famous in Hollywood. She hasn't got any children.

In my opinion, Penélope Cruz is more beautiful than Victoria Beckham. but Vicky is richer than Penélope. I think Penélope is more intelligent than Victoria, but Victoria is luckier. From my point of view, Penelope is the most interesting and Victoria is as famous as Pe.

Once you have finished, save your document as .doc file and then send it to your teacher: lidiac29@gmail.com. Thanks.
