Describing people and appearance
Today's lesson is about how to write a short description of people’s clothes, but let’s first set an everyday situation: Imagine that you are thinking about the clothes that you’ll be wearing on the coming Friday party with your friends. So, you need to go through some typical expressions and vocabulary about the same topic. Here’s a document for that, and please feel free to leave your comment with your ideal way of dressing, whenever you get together or even go clubbing on a Friday night.

How to write in English
I always encourage all my students to drop some lines in English.
No matter the topic to write about.
Then, I normally have a look at their writing, which they hand in quite regularly, and I leave a comment and several writing tips for them, together with the necessary corrections. Feedback and results may vary to a greater extent, but I just wonder if they are truly aware of my enormous effort to make them write real English.
Please, leave a comment about your English writing experiences.

Daily Routines and Actions
If so, why don't you leave a message telling us about you and you'll practise Daily routines and actions that way.
However, writing about our daily routine can be very dull and boring.
So, we could think about other ways of expressing everyday actions. How about telling a day from a cat's eyes? or the daily routine of a little baby or even a common day of a bird...
Well, it's just a question of using your imagination, don't you think so? Let's be creative all day long!
