Practise your writing for PAU

Hello again, this time the activity is designed for students of 2º Bachillerato, but anyone with good ideas is welcome.

You are doing a past paper to practise for PAU in English, and the topic you have to write about is the following:



Which are your favorite TV programmes? Describe them and explain why you like them.

You have to write about 100-150 words, and this time we are going to do it together. I will start:

I love watching TV. There are many TV channels and so many programmes to choose from, that it is difficult to decide.

Who wants to continue?

WANTED: Final description

Hi again. Thank you to those who have taken part in this activity. Well done!

This is the description as you wrote it:

We are looking for a middle-aged man, in his forties.He is tall, more or less one metre eigthy, and quite big

I know it!As well, he has pale skin and he is shaven with a bit of hair in the middle(as a line that divides the cerebral hemispheres).
Normally, he wears baggy trousers and shabby shirts and he always wears his red cap. Also, he uses white glasses.


Ohh! yeah yeah! hahahaha he also likes travelling and visiting the most important countries in the world, he is a very curious person and he takes a lot of pictures during his trips

And this is the corrected version:

We are looking for a middle-aged man, in his forties. He is tall, more or less one metre eigthy, and quite big.

He has pale skin and his head is half-shaven, with a crest in the middle. Normally, he wears baggy trousers and shabby shirts and he always wears his red cap. He also uses white glasses.

This man likes travelling and visiting the most important countries in the world. He is a very curious person. That is why he takes a lot of pictures during his trips.


Now your next challenge is to find a photo that suits this description. Can you do it?
