U nastavku serije internih radionica Oživljavanje jezičkih veština, posle 19. februarske radionice  koja se bavila veštinama čitanja, profesorke Lingve su se okupile 21. juna 2014 da prezentuju I probaju aktivnosti za razvijanje veštine pisanja. Pokrivene su sve uzrasne grupe I široki raspon nivoa, od Dečijeg A1.b do Omladinskog/Odraslog C1, kao i razni tipovi pisanih zadataka – instrukcije, biografije, priče I preporuke. U svim sesijama korišćeni su šareni rekviziti i atraktivni multimedijalni resursi u cilju povećanja motivacije polaznika za aktivno učenje jezika. Kao I ranije, I ovo je bila prilika da se podeli dragoceno nastavno iskustvo iz prve ruke.

My ideal holiday is an adventure holiday on a desert island in the Indian ocean. I travel there by plane and boat. I do some animal and plant research and I also relax and sunbathe on the beach. I should bring a rucksack with food, a sleeping bag, a suitcase with my clothes and my mobile phone.

My ideal holiday is a beach holiday in Spain. You travel there by plane. You can relax and sunbathe by the pool or on the beach, or go sightseeing. I should only bring a suitcase with my clothes.

My ideal holiday is an adventure holiday in the mountains. You travel there by bus. You can do rock climbing, walk along mountain paths and swim in wild rivers. In the evening I sit with my friends round the camp fire and we talk and sing. I should bring a sleeping bag and a rucksack.

The holiday season is approaching and it is a good time to exchange some thoughts about the holidays we usually have or dream about having one day.  Tell us something about your ideal holiday: what kind of holiday it is, how you get there, what you do, and what you should bring.

A Walk round Valjevo by Mira

KOLUBARA

We can go for a walk round Valjevo. The first place I can show you is Pecina Park. Pecina Park is a very interesting place. It is a small botanical garden. There are a lot of species of trees from all over the world and they are labelled in Latin. It’s one of the most peaceful places in Serbia and people of all ages like walking here.

We can also go to the River Gradac. The Gradac is one of cleanest rivers in Serbia. It takes a 15 minute walk from the town centre to the Gradac. The prettiest place of Gradac is the dam.  A lot of people swim here and have a drink in a cafe.

The third place we could visit is Tešnjar .Its architecture is typical of the Ottoman rule period. The river Kolubara flows through Tešnjar and there are plenty of shops, cafes and a few clubs on its right bank.

I hope that you have found these places interesting.
