Write a letter to an imaginary (or real!) penpal telling her or him about your town. Remember, whenever you express yourself the goal is to express yourself fully and fluidly. To help  you do this, I'm requiring  you to write one sentence of at least 15 words and another of at least 9. Here are all of the requirements:
1. 1 word from page 196
2. 4 places on page 197
3. 15 word sentence
4.  9 word sentence
5. 1 word from page 89
6. 1 word from page 100
7. 2 words from page 106
8. NOTE: Any time you write anything in French (especially for a class), you want to show that you understand difficult concepts that we have studied. This is what you  have to do to receive an "A." Difficult concepts you should consider using are found throughout the book, but a few from Unité 4 are on the following pages: 155, 156, 158, 159, 177, 178
9. Be sure to proofread what you write!! You will be SEVERELY marked down for errors found on the following pages:
98--verb endings for -er verbs   Ma mère et mon père parlent anglais mais ils aiment parler français.
152--avoir (try to use forms other than just "Je" for good scores)  Elles ont . . .
84--être (try to use forms other than just "Je" for good scores)  Vous êtes chouettes!
110--faire (try to use forms other than just "Je" for good scores)  Nous faisons une promenade.
Note: for this exercise I WILL allow you to use vocabulary that we haven't studied for this assignment. Don't go bonkers, though. But be sure that you use it correctly! Google translate is highly risky because it gives you all sorts of grammatical errors, and  I mark down 1 point every time you have a grammatical error.
Remember, the words on page 106 can be used in the middle of long sentences in addition to the beginning of the sentence, as most people do. This is the easiest way to write long sentences.
Examples:
En été (juillet et août) je nage à la piscine où mon frère travaille le samedi. (16 words)

Parce que ma soeur ne sait [know] pas comment faire une pizza, ma mère aide toujours, mais j'aime ça parce que ma mère fait une pizza vâchement bonne ! (28 words)

[sait is sais/to know for il/elle]

Before you go to any of these sites, I want you to check with your parents to make sure that they feel ok with you doing so and always remember to never give out any personal information there. You all know that people lie about their age and there are predators out there. If anyone asks for private information (phone number, address), do NOT give it to them.
