Dance competition

Last Wednesday the 12th June, was a Dance competition in my dance studio. The competition is on one day of the year, where you can see who was or is the best dancer. You can dance Hip - Hop, ballett, jazz or more. The people give you points from 1 to 10. That's very interesting because you can see, who is the best dancer there. My coach give me tipps about and for my dance moves. She is a very nice woman.

Everybody was happy at the end.

Feedback: What did you mean with "one´s a year"? I would take that instead of there. The End is a bit strange.

On Monday the 12th was a big Football match in our Village. Me and my team played against the “Schleidener FC”.

In the first half we scored 2 goals, one goal was scored by our best player Tim and one goal was scored by me.

In the halftime-break our trainer changed some players. With our new line-up we haven’t score any goal in the second half. Our trainer was getting angry and changed the players back. At least we won with a 3-1.

Feedback

„On Monday the 12th February(?) ...” is better. “My team an me…”. “…we haven’t score any goal in the second half.”

Your Text is very nice and you've answered all W-questions.

Report: My freetime‘‘‘

Last Sunday, there was a riding show in the horse stable, to see who can ride best.

Everything was beautifully decorated, the horses were shiny clean. All the riders had to put on riding uniforms. 56 people took part with their horses. It was an interesting fight. Who will win? 6 people and their horses were disqualified because their horses refused more than three times or they fall off their horse, but luckily, nobody was hurt.

‘’Gamescom’’

In the summer was the Gamescom in Cologne. I was two times there, one time with my mother and one time with my aunt. There was a problem when I drove to the Gamescom with the train. There was a malfunction with the rails. After one hour the train drives again. As we were at the entrance, we came very quick to all games. We saw many very nice games like Breakaway. Breakaway was made by amazon and Twitch. After six hours we were again at home. It was a very nice day! At the second day, we came quicker to the entrance because there was no problem with the rails, but we were after three hours again at home because I had seen already all games and it wasn’t interesting for me. My aunt was bored too. As we were at home, my aunt bought a very nice game named “Overwatch” for me. It was very expensive but it was worth it.

Feedback of Jenna:

Your Report has some mistakes:

In the sentence: ,, I became lots of stuff in the morning and in the evening.“ i would wrote instead of ,,in the morning and in the evening“, ,,at the Day“. And I would wrote second instead of twice. And ,,I“ is capitalized. And you could write more activ and passiv sentence. But you've answered all the W-questions. Otherwise is your little Report good😊. Here is an example of your correction: (It's just an example)

December 14th was my birthday. I got up, went to school and got the first congratulations on the bus. When I came home from school, I got the first presents from my parents. Unwrapped them and was not happy because I did not like what I wanted. I got a "Merch" from LGO. But I had to wait 2 times to get dressed, which I found very stupid. By and by, I received calls from others, and I congratulate them, which made me very happy. I played my cousan during the day. From him I got some money to buy something from myself.

Short report

On the 13th of December me and my football team was played against SV Rott. We played at the sport hall at JSG Schleiden.

It was our last football match of the year. Both teams make lots of mistakes in that match. A player from our team was fouled by the captain of the other team, so we had a penalty. But my friend who is in my team to, shoot the ball in the corner.

The final score was 0-0, because the match was for both teams very difficult. Both teams played strong. It was an interesting match.

Feedback from Lisa:

I think your report about your football match is very good, because you answered all five Ws. So you wrote where the game took place, when it happened, who played the game, what happened and why nobody won. Your report is not to long and not to short. It’s very interesting to read your report.

Hausaufgaben The horse show Datum: 25.02.2018

0n Monday the 19th, a horse tounament took place in Düren. There were many spectators. There were two different age levels. There were children but adults too.

There were two different disciplines. There were show jumping and dressage. The show jumping took place outside, whereas the dressage took place inside. The first thing was the kids, then the adults came. Before they were allowed to start, the riders had to pick up numbers at the start. There after, the riders should warm up with their horses in the square. For each participant and his horse there were points from 1-10. It was important to ride nealty and quickly, but the most important thing was not to kick a pole. If the rider made it, the music started, but if he did not make it, Music stayed out. There were also some stalls there where you could buy something. For example something to drink or eat, but you could also buy riding stuff.

The first place Firefly made with his rider. Second place went to Diego and his rider. Firefly received a gold medal and Diego got a silver medal.

Since it was not yet free, we went to the cinema and then drink a cocktail. After that, the hotel room was finally free and we could bring our things to the rooms. In the evening we went to a bar where my cousin wasn´t feeling good. In the late evening we went to the Christmas market and enjoyed the evening. It was a very nice day and would like to repeat it again.

The second goal was scored by Clara. At the half of the second half somebody from the other team broken her arm, because she fallen over the ball.
