This task is about a proposal, which I think is a text in which you try to persuade somebody to do something, giving reasons about why do you want that, and why should be done.
How should you end a proposal? Why?It should be finished with a conclusion where you summarised what you exposed before and saying that you think that all that suggested will improve whatever the situation is, or will have good effects.
Which of the following statements are usually true of a proposal? * It is written in informal language.--FALSE
* It includes suggestions and recommendations.--TRUE
* It includes direct speech.--FALSE
* It may use headings or bullet points if appropriate.--TRUE
* It uses a lot of linking words to promote clarity.--TRUE
* It proposes a new idea and tries to persuade the reader of its value.--TRUE
* It uses a range of colourful language.--FALSE
Regarding to the best organisation for a proposal, in my opinion the bes is the A:
Introduction
Main issues identified
Recommendations with reasons
Conclusion
And the last point:
Discuss with a partner or partners your ideas for
* possible reasons for the situation:
- A reason could be that it is given much more time to other subjets than what is given to English, French or other languages.
- There isn't too many books in the library in foreign languages; neither grammatical books nor novels.
- Every year teachers spend a lot of time repating what was learnt last year, so they just study a few new things.
- Students have never seen a film in the foreign language, so they've only listened to the listenings of the book
* recommendations for improving it:
- To have more practical clases, in which students discuss practical issues, so they can get a bit of fluency.
- Watch a film in that language per term, or at least have some in the library.
- Buy some books for students, making it possible to borrow them from the library.
- Teachers should be concienciate of the fact that what has been taught the yaer before should be already learnt, so they can start the new year with new material.

Hello Marta,
ResponderEliminarYour ideas are very usefull. I haven't made yet my contribution to this subject and your work can serve me actually as a guideline to find my own comments.I was a bit lost.
Anyway I'll try to be complementary to what you've said.
Here are my little comments on some possible mistakes in your text:
Instead of "what you exposed before "I'd say "what you've exposed before".
Instead of "not too many", "not enough", because it makes no clear sense.
Repeating.
Classes.
Instead of "be concenciate", "be aware".
Bye. I hope to put my contribution as soon as possible.
