Evidence: Consolidation activity

Stage 1: The wonder years

A. What to do?

Record a video describing two fond memories from your childhood.

B. How to do it?
Choose two of your happiest memories from childhood and describe what made
them special and memorable. If possible, use photos to refer to the things and
people related to the anecdote. Below you will find an example of the kind of
grammar and vocabulary your instructors expects from you.
I remember when I went to an amusement park for the first time I was 10 years
old. It was one of the happiest days of my life. A few days before we had
planned it and the day we went I woke up early to put on comfortable clothes,
my mother called me for breakfast. My sister and I were very excited because
we had never devised a park like this, it was something amazing. By the time
we left the house, we took a taxi and when we arrived. I have to admit that I felt
a little nervous about the attractions, but put my fear aside to enjoy the most
that day. My favorite attraction was one called "The Hammer", I already met the
maximum height to enter this. There were some attractions that I did not enter
because I did not meet the maximum height I did not get sad because I
understood why I could not enter. It was a wonderful day full of joys, laughter
and shouts.
The second memory was my 15th birthday party, a few months ago we had
already started to organize the whole party so that day would be the best. When
the day came, I got up early and my mother made me some delicious waffles
with strawberries, then I bathed so that they would make up and paint my nails,
I had lunch in an elegant restaurant and when it was beginning to dusk we went
to the place of the party to put on the most beautiful dress in the world, I was a
little nervous because I thought something was going to go wrong. The guests
began to arrive and when I entered the party I wanted to cry, all my family and
friends were there. I danced, I sang, and I had fun. I will never forget that party.
