d. Could someone lend me the notes from the last class please?

2. Identify what is the biggest problem at your school?

School flood due to heavy rains

3. Write a paragraph talking about this school problem. Describe the problem, give 1 or 2 examples and
write 1 possible solution you can give to this problem.

The school problem is the flooding of classrooms due to heavy rains and inadequate drainage
systems, since in this year various situations have arisen where important school hours have been
lost due to water, However, not only does this happen, since when the rain stops we must remove the
water and clean the classrooms to watch classes, a solution that could be proposed would be two,
one in the short term and another in the long term due to monetary factors, the first would be to place
deeper cinnamon and with good alignment for a good water flow and to keep them clean, since this
has been done in the long term, a project to expand the drains and clean them could be carried out,
and if it is the case, make more drainage areas in the sectors where it floods the most

4. Look at the adjectives in the following table, look for their meaning in the dictionary, and write an X
identifying if the adjective is positive or negative.
