 Silou is really excited about the EU so she's writing to Magda about it. Listen
to the recording again and complete her e-mail.
Dear Magda,
I've asked my English teacher about the EU but I still have some questions.
Perhaps you can help me. So, here they are, in green.
I've learnt that your country, Greece, became a member of the EU in 1…………
and it was member number 2 ………… The European Union is like a big
club, really. There are 3………… countries in the EU today. Do you know which
ones? I'll find out on the Internet. The EU uses the 4……………… these countries
pay to make the people's lives better. Did you know that you can 5………………
in any country in the Union you like just because you're a European citizen?
Lucky you! What other rights have you got? I used to believe that all European
countries use the 6…………… today but it's only 7………… of them, the Eurozone.
Which countries are in the Eurozone? What about Greece?
Anyway, it was very interesting to hear all this. Write to tell me how many euros
you think I'll need for my holidays.
Love,
Silou

 In groups, write a short story to accompany your favourite painting. The Writing Guide and your imagination will help you.

WRITING GUIDE

STEP ONE
  1. Think about what you want to include in your story. (e.g. information about the people in
    the painting such as their name, age and family situation, where they are, what they are
    doing, their feelings, background events, what is going to happen next etc.).
  2. Think about the tone of your story. Is it going to be sad, humorous, etc?
  3. Decide who is going to be the narrator. You can write your story in the first or in the third
    person.
  4. Write your first draft.

STEP TWO
  1. When you finish, exchange drafts with another group.
  2. Look at the painting your friends are writing about, read their story and make comments
    to help them make it more interesting and vivid. What else do you want to know about
    the people in the painting and / or the events in the story?
  3. Help each other with language if necessary.

STEP THREE
  1. Write your second draft.
  2. If possible, scan the paintings, enlarge them and make coloured photocopies.
  3. Put your work on display.
