Course 6 - Describing a journey.
- Game: Traveling Vocabulary.

- Unit Lesson 7.4
- Writing Task: Describing a Journey.
Now it is your turn to describe that journey in terms of what you or your characters see, hear, smell or feel. Write no more than 200 words, but make sure this is a well laid out, well structured piece of writing with full sentences. Think clearly about your starting point and your destination. Then you can start to imagine all the bits in between. If it helps, draw a map (like last time) before you start writing. With each new piece of description, start a new paragraph so that we can understand the journey step by step. Remember to use commas and full stops effectively.

• What time of day is the travelling taking place? What’s the weather like?

• What is the mode of transport? Are we walking, driving, riding a horse etc?

• What’s the landscape like? Are there trees? Flowers? Or fields? Rivers or a desert? Waterfalls, even? Try to describe all of these elements simply and clearly so that a reader can really imagine what they look like.

• Are there wild animals to be seen? Buildings along the way? Factories? Farms? Castles? Bridges?

• Are there obstacles or dangerous places that need to be passed? Are there strangers to meet? How does the journey end? What has the experience taught you?
