COMPOSITIONS

FOR GENERAL COMMENTS ON PREVIOUS COMPOSITIONS GO TO
DOWNLOADS BASIC LEVEL
COMPOSITIONS PROCEDURE
Please, do not ask me if I can correct your composition after the deadline. The answer will always be "NO" under any circumstances!  
You can always write down the next composition or you can also compare your composition with your classmates.

I do not double-check compositions either. Once the composition is corrected, it is your responsibility to check your copy of your composition, give me the original corrected and try to improve next time. 

Remember that I prefer your compositions handwritten for your own interest.
After every composition I will make some comments in the classroom that you can download from the downloads section of your level.
VERY IMPORTANT: I will not mark any compositions which were partially or completely copied from the internet, articles , magazines, etc.

COMPULSORY (OBLIGATORY) READERS

As the English Department wants to improve your reading skills there will be three recommended readers this year. I recommend reading audibooks from the library or buying from the Black Cat Catalogue on Amazon.  You will need to choose an elementary (A1) reader for the first term and a pre/intermediate (A2) reader for the second and third terms. Once you finish reading it, do the activities if you want to. I will leave book reports in the classroom for you to complete when you finish your audiobook.
For those who bought a book that has the app, remember that the name of the app is DeA Link and you can get it on Google Play. 

Black Cat

Free readers for you to download. You will need to register if you are not registered yet: https://www.blackcat-cideb.com/en/ereaders-2?utm_source=internal_campaign&utm_medium=banner&utm_campaign=columna_cideb
