HERE YOU HAVE SOME GOOD SUMMARIES AND COMPOSITIONS FROM 3ºB




If we continue warming the planet, it will harm the people (persons), animals and plants. We should recycle and not use so (much) many (the) cars, since it harms (to) the environment. We must not leave bonfires and cigars ignited in the forest, since it can cause a fire, If we are still like that we will destroy the planet (?), we have to stop it and help (not to destroy) the Earth , not only we have to say, also act ! NOT ONLY WORDS, BUT ACTIONS ARE NEEDED. By: MªJesús Anta 3ºb good try, Mª Jesús.


Hi!! I'm Raquel from 3ºb. This is my composition:
Dear Sir:I have read so many texts about the greenhouse effect. I think we aren't careful(ly) with the environment. The problems are the excessive use of cars. Every day there are less forests and more carbon dioxide. We can solve the problems if we use public transport and if we recycle more, we will reduce the greenhouse effect.I don't have anything else to say (to say anymore) Bye!!n_n THAT'S GREAT RAQUEL. Congratulations



hello I'm Patri 3ºB. Our planet is getting worse because humans are very insensitive with the enviromment. Every day there are less forest areas and more carbon dioxide. If we try to recycle more, we will have less rubbish and more water.The (situation) excessive use of cars pollutes the atmosphere. If we use public transport,we will reduce greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is the rise in temperature. If the greenhouse effect (is) gets bigger,we will die. NICE COMPOSITION PATRI!





David from 3ºB said: The greenhouse effect is very bad for the planet, because (the) cars, motorbikes and other(s) means of transport(s) produ(ct)ce CO2 emissions, but if we use (the) public transport public, we'll pollute less.The next point (about of) is (the) rubbish, this theme is very important because the rubbish is very important in (the) society, it is very important to recycle the rubbish; the glass in the green container; the paper or the carton in the blue container and the metal or the other products in the yellow container. see you later ;^) GOOD WORK DAVID!




Hello!! I'm Melisa from 3ºB:The greenhouse effect is the rise in temperature that the Earth experiences because certain gases in the atmosphere.Without these gases, heat would escape back into space and Earth’s average temperature would be about 60ºF colder.The greenhouse effect is important.Without the greenhouse effect, the Earth wouldn't be warm enough for humans to live.But if the greenhouse effect becomes stronger. Even a little extra warming may cause problems for humans, plants, and animals.60ºF are 15,5ºCbye! -_- ^^! Good summary, Melisa.



hello i am jose from 3ºb and this is my composition.


The pollution and the rubbish that (the) humans produce is making the environment worse.(in) On the one hand, we know that humans produce a lot of pollution because they don´t recycle, so they produce a lot of rubbish too. (in) On the other hand we know (about) that if we (stil) keep doing that , all the world will become dangerous for the environment. (For) To make a better environment, we must recycle and use public transport . In this way, we produce less carbon dioxide and we will make the greenhouse effect better too . In conclusion, we must be careful with the planet and the evironment. OK, good composition Jose.


We're Judith and Gaston. 3ºB
We have to control our pollution, of the water and the earth because otherwise we won't be able to live on the earth. To prevent it, we have to recycle and not throw(ing) rubbish everywhere, so that we can live on a cleaner earth. And not to forget the pollution that comes from the use of cars, motor bikes (gases), etc.
CORRECT, SIMPLE AND PRECISE. Thanks


Hello!!^^ I'm Vicky from 3ºb.
Dear director: My name is Lola and I live in Saint Bernard Street. Every day when I go to work by train I notice that near a development and a park there is a rubbish dump, that contains organic (remains) leftovers (like food), plastics, papers, glasses, metals, paints, clothes, nappies, batteries, and a lot of (diversity) different objects and substances consider(ate)ed contaminants. I (solicit prepare that instance) kindly request a solution for that, for the (next) following reasons: 1._For the (aesthetics) deteriorated image that the development is giving, (that is giving a reprehensible aspect). 2._For the health of the (persons) people that live in the development and go to the park with their children, because they could get an infection or an illness because of the rats.3._Because it is damaging the environment since it contributes to its destruction because of the decomposition process of the matter in the rubbish dump, it forms lixiviates that carry the toxic products present(s) in the rubbish, and contaminate the subterranean water, that (in occasions there) are used for human consumption and watering, and it liberates in the air a lot of important gases like methane, CO2 (gas responsible of the greenhouse effect) or toxic gases like benzene, etc. I request that you move away the rubbish dump (because) for the reasons above mentioned (up there). And I propose/suggest to install an "ecological island" for the perfect/adequate separation of rubbish. Best wishes.

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF THE USE OF MAY/MIGHT/CAN'T


THANKS LUCY FOR YOUR JOB: here we have a good example of the use of May/Might and Can't to express probability or impossibility. Job done by Lucy, 4ºC.

1.(might) Could you give me that? 2.it might rain 3.they might be (in the) at high school 4.Tony might be in the park 5.she might go out this morning


1.he can't be here. 2.Mary can't call him. 3.they can't be outside. 4.the teacher can't be asleep in class. 5.the man can't be reading the newspaper.

READ AND EXPLAIN IN YOUR OWN WORDS WHY THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT COULD BE DANGEROUS FOR OUR PLANET



The greenhouse effect is the rise in temperature that the Earth experiences because certain gases in the atmosphere (water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane, for example) trap energy from the sun. Without these gases, heat would escape back into space and Earth’s average temperature would be about 60ºF colder. Because of how they warm our world, these gases are referred to as greenhouse gases.
Have you ever seen a greenhouse? Most greenhouses look like a small glass house. Greenhouses are used to grow plants, especially in the winter. Greenhouses work by trapping heat from the sun.
The Earth’s atmosphere is all around us. It is the air that we breathe. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere behave much like the glass panes in a greenhouse. Sunlight enters the Earth's atmosphere, passing through the blanket of greenhouse gases. As it reaches the Earth's surface, land, water, and biosphere absorb the sunlight’s energy. Once absorbed, this energy is sent back into the atmosphere. Some of the energy passes back into space, but much of it remains trapped in the atmosphere by the greenhouse gases, causing our world to heat up.

The greenhouse effect is important. Without the greenhouse effect, the Earth would not be warm enough for humans to live. But if the greenhouse effect becomes stronger, it could make the Earth warmer than usual. Even a little extra warming may cause problems for humans, plants, and animals.
