Homework - Blurb

Hello everyone,

This weekend, your homework is to respond to this blog by writing a blurb (similar to the one in the textbook on page 14) and to watch an English television show or movie. I watched Jack Reacher last night. Tom Cruise is the star actor in the film. It was kind of slow but an okay movie. I think I'd give it 3.5 / 5 stars.

Blurb Instructions: Choose a country that you are knowledgable about. You can choose the country that you are from but you can choose any country you wish. Brainstorm a list of things that you can do in that country, places you can visit (sightseeing, parks, museums, restaurants, clubs etc.), events that you can attend, activities that you can participate in etc.

Start your blurb with a series of questions as the textbook does. Then discuss why people should visit the country you chose and not another country. Why is this country better?

Try to write between 10-15 sentences for your blurb. Aim to write 3 or 4 paragraphs.
Paragraphs 1 - Introduction (questions),
Paragraphs 2 / 3 - Body paragraphs (Why people should visit this country, why it is the best choice, what they can do, where they can visit, maybe some "hidden treasures" that most tourists don't know about.
Paragraph 4 - Conclusion. Restate why they should visit this country and not another country. Why is this country such a great place to go to?

Have a fun weekend and enjoy the beautiful weather!
