You and your class recently spent a weekend at an activity centre where students could try
different outdoor sports such as sailing and rock climbing. Now your teacher has asked you to
write a report about the activity weekend.
In your report, say what was enjoyable about the activity weekend, AND suggest how it
could be improved.
Here are some comments from students who went on the activity weekend:
It was great fun! We couldn‛t try all the sports.
The meals were too small. I loved the accommodation.
Now write a report for your teacher about the activity weekend.
The comments above may give you some ideas, and you should also use some ideas of your
own.
Write about 120 to 160 words.
You will receive up to 6 marks for the content of your report and up to 9 marks for the language
used.
