READING TO WRITE

A description of Jorge's house

Focus on CONTENT When you write about your house, include: - the size,age,and kind of house - how many bedrooms it has - What other rooms it has - your favorite room and why - some of the furniture of appliances there

Look at the photo of Jorge's house. How many bedrooms do you think it has? Read the email to check.

FOCUS ON CONTENT

COMMAS

Focus on LANGUAGE

Use the commas to separate items in a list. I have a desk, two, and big bed in my bedroom. Use commas to join two complete sentences with conjunctions like and, but, and so. We usually cook in the oven, but sometimes we use the microwave.

Read Jorge's email again. What information does he include for each category from the Focus on Content box?
