El mes que viene el Club Español de nuestra escuela piensa celebrar una feria en el campo de fútbol. Será el quince de mayo a las dos de la tarde. Termina a eso de las nueve de la noche. Las entradas cuestan cinco dólares por cada persona. Este dinero va a pagar un viaje escolar a la ciudad de Nueva York el fin de junio. El Club espera que todo el mundo en el pueblo asista. Habrá atracciones para cada edad: juegos, concursos, montar a caballitos, pescar. También hay muchos padres que van a vender tortas, bizcochos y pan para ayudar el club. Cada estudiante en el club participará. Algunos venderán perros calientes, hamburguesas y refrescos. Otros van a vigilar a los niños. Creo que va a ser un evento maravilloso.

En pocos minutos el abuelo llegará de su trabajo. Los niños están contentos porque el abuelo siempre les trae bombones a sus nietos.

• I wrote an introduction.

• I wrote a conclusion.

• I made smooth transitions throughout the body of my essay. I used words such as después de, antes de, luego, primero, segundo, sin embargo (however), pero, etc.

• I did not use ENTONCES to mean THEN. I used LUEGO.

• I have at least 125 words (Digits and people’s names do not count. Place names and brand names from the target culture are counted as one word, all others are disregarded. Salutations and closings are counted)
