AN INFORMAL EMAIL

A few weeks ago you attended a speed dating event where you “matched” a person who you’ve just dated this evening. It’s been the most embarrassing situation you’ve ever lived. Write an email to your best friend telling him/her everything. Include a full description of the person you dated (200 words).

Use the appropriate structures and vocabulary.

You will have 50 minutes to complete the task.

Stormy Weather. The song.

Now that we are talking about the weather, how about a song to illustrate the point and sing along. . Click here to listen to The Voice, singing this all-time classic title.

Beautiful song. I'm yours.

My dear friend and fellow teacher, Sara, sent me this song. I found this link that enables you to watch the video while you read the lyrics. Very useful for those of us that like singing along.
