A gap year!!!
Have you decided where to go? For how long? What do you know about that place? Before writing you may like to gather many useful expressions. Why not help each other?

You are a student who wants to volunteer during a gap year somewhere in the world. You will write your travelogue narrating your impressions, your experiences and about your work as a volunteer.
Your first entry will consist of your First impressions once you got there: your heart is full of expectations, feelings for the people you've left behind, your eyes are full of the colours of the new country, all your senses are involved... Don't forget to include at least one of the many photos you must have taken.
Your second entry:
You have been invited to go on a three-day excursion. Upload a google map with your itinerary or go to Thinglink, save and upload your image (map) and write your 3 entries just by clicking on the image you uploaded. Include at least 3 stops. For each stop you must write what the place is like, what you did there, what you saw, the things you liked...
Your third entry:
Your gap year is near the end... Write about your volunteering experience, what you did for others and what you learned from them. Remember unforgettable moments you will carry with you and would like to share with others ( native celebrations, music, national dishes, friendship... )
You can add links, images, music, history, traditions of the place. Change the background image so that it fits best. Your blog will look better and you will be awarded extra marks for " presentation"
A gap year abroad... What an exciting idea!
New landscapes, new climates, new faces and lots to do...
The students in Première Writing workshop will post their choices of Gap Year experiences and will write about them... follow them here...
