Context
A visit to Spain as an exchange student
Function
Writing a thank-you letter
Purpose
This activity encourages students to use recently learned vocabulary
and grammatical structures in a context that is appropriate to the
Intermediate level–writing a letter to family and friends. The activity
is structured to focus on discrete points of grammar, but the endproduct of the writing task can serve as a model for letter writing in
a subsequent activity.
Student Task

and is writing a thank-you letter to the family with whom he stayed.

guide to the missing words.
