Reaching the end of a module is a great opportunity to put everything learned into practice. Here, the focus shifts to writing descriptive paragraphs about two previously selected places, combining key grammar structures to produce richer, more engaging text.
What should you include when describing a place?
The main task is to write a paragraph for each of the two places you chose earlier in the project. Each paragraph should describe things you can do in that location. To make your writing more vivid and accurate, you need to incorporate three important language topics covered throughout the module:
- Adjectives: words that describe or modify nouns, helping paint a clearer picture of each place [0:24].
- Abstract nouns: nouns that refer to ideas, qualities, or states rather than physical objects — such as beauty, freedom, or excitement [0:27].
- Gerunds or infinitive verbs: verb forms used as nouns or complements. A gerund ends in -ing (e.g., "swimming"), while an infinitive uses "to" + base verb (e.g., "to explore") [0:30].
Combining these three elements allows you to write sentences like: "Visiting this beautiful city offers a sense of freedom that is hard to find elsewhere."
Why is this writing exercise important for your project?
This paragraph-writing step builds directly on your previous work. You already selected the places; now you must demonstrate understanding of the grammar structures by applying them in context. This is not just about listing activities — it is about crafting descriptions that feel natural and complete.
A few practical tips to keep in mind:
- Start each paragraph with a strong topic sentence that introduces the place.
- Use at least one adjective, one abstract noun, and one gerund or infinitive in every paragraph.
- Keep sentences short and clear to maintain readability.
What comes next in the project?
There is still one more class remaining [0:38]. In that final session, you will receive instructions on how to conclude the project, along with important information you need to consider before submitting your work [0:43]. Make sure your paragraphs are ready so you can focus on wrapping everything up smoothly.
If you have questions about how to use any of these grammar points in your descriptions, share them in the comments and practice with your classmates.
