Summary - Cooking is fun - Feedback
The "cooking is fun" was generally well done but I noticed a few common mistakes.
1. Summary structure - one paragraph
2. Be careful with verbs endings -ed and -ing, for example: enjoy
"The children enjoyed cooking with their friends."
"The children are enjoying cooking with their friends."
Also adjectives ending in -ed and -ing, for example: boring and bored
"I am bored with doing homework." "Homework is boring for me."
3. Listing items, use for example and such as.
There are many good teams in England such as Liverpool, Man U and Chelsea.

5. Gerunds - verb + ing
Shopping is interesting for me.
6. lots of / few / many / much

Letter of advice - Lonely friend
Paopao and Marina wrote great letters. Fantastic work (!!!). Please read them and comment below.
I will give some general feedback about all the letters in the next class.
Paopao's letter
Hi Yim,
It is a pleasure to hear from you and to know that you’ve moved into a new area. But I’m worried that you’re feeling lonely. I used to feel like that when I just moved into my dorm so I think i can use my experiences to give you some advice.
Firstly, you need to find something you would like to do as your hobby. For example, you could read books, watch movies or listen to music. If you’re still feeling lonely you could go to an arcade near your area. It’ll definitely help you with meeting new people or things that you’ve never seen in your area before. But I know that you don’t prefer doing things alone so the essential tip is to find some friends. They might be your classmates, roommates or anyone in your dorm. This advice that I have just suggested will surely heal your loneliness.
I hope my advice is useful for you. If you have any problems please write to let me know. Love you!
Best wishes,
Paopao
Hi Kate,
How are you? I heard from your brother that you moved to another city and you feel lonely.
I think you should not be sad because in new places you can know something different. You can find new friends. I think you have already found some in school. However, if you still feel lonely you can go to the different school clubs or find some in your city like sports or music. I'm sure that you will find lots of friends there. Or maybe you should find a hobby for yourself.
Anyway , don't be shy to communicate with people. Just be yourself and be confident. Also don't forget friends from your last school. I heard that you miss them. I think you can talk on Skype with them or see each other on weekends.
I hope to see you soon. I'm sure that you will find a lot of friends. I waiting for your letter back.

Summary - Cooking is fun
Adelia and Mohammad wrote great summaries. Brilliant work (!!!). Please read them and comment below. [link to original article]
I will give some general feedback about all the summaries in the next class.
Adelia's summary
If they learn how to cook
If young children learn how to cook they will develop team skills and learn to appreciate each individual’s contribution. Also if children cook they will have a better diet and the benefit from that is good health for the rest of their lives. Maybe in the future the children will decide to follow a career related to cooking. This means that the industry will grow all over the world. It also shows that friendships are established between cooking for young children. When children who don’t like certain foods, begin cooking for themselves, they enjoy dishes that they would not previously have eaten.

Mohammad's Summary
Cooking is fun for young people
When children cook they try new ways and recipes of cooking nutritious food. They even could start adding vegetables in some of their meals which they need to get enough vitamins and minerals which can help with their growth and could prevent some diseases. It is believed that if children cook their own food they have a higher chance of finishing it all. in addition this skill will stay with them forever if they learn it when they are young and some of them might take it further and open a restaurant and make a living. It’s even a great way to get the family together and have fun.
