Travel Blog: First Stop London, England

Imagine that you have spent a couple of days in London, you have been to some great restaurants and you want to share the experience on your travel blog. Use the internet and find two different restaurants in London that represent two different cuisines (e.g. Indian, Italian, Chinese).  Write a text (min 300 – max 400 words) in the past tense. The topic is food in a multicultural city. Make sure that you answer the following questions in your text.

1.      Which types of cuisines can you find in London? Why can you find so many different types of cuisines in this city?

2.      Imagine that you have visited the two restaurants. Describe the atmosphere and the food, here you must use your imagination and be creative.

Remember to include pictures to spice up your blog.

Here are some food and travel blogs if you need a little inspiration.

Welcome to our creative blog!

This year we are going to blog at regular intervals in the English lessons.  One of the aims in the national curriculum states that you should be able to discuss social and cultural conditions in several English speaking countries and we are going to make a virtual journey around the world and visit many of these countries. We are also to focus on different grammatical issues in the texts you are to write. The texts will be evaluated. In this blog you will find the tasks you are going to answer in your own blog.


Each of you have to make your own blog. You may prevent others from reading your blog (in Innstilllinger - Tillatelser), but I have to have access to it. Hand in the link to your blog in the folder Blogs in "Lenkjer" in our English room in Fronter. First of all you have to open an account in google in order to be allowed to make your own blog:

1.     Gå til: docs.google.com

2.     Opprett en google konto.

3.     Husk å gå inn på e-posten din og bekrefte opprettelsen av konto.

4.     Gå til: blogger.com

5.     Opprett en blogg – navnet på bloggen må inneholde navnet ditt.

6.     Velg hvordan bloggen din skal se ut.

7.     Legg lenke til bloggen din i Fronter i innleveringsmappa: Bloggadresser

8.     Skriv et kort innlegg og prøv å legge til bilde, film, etc

I am really looking forward to working with this project.
