also one of the four great cities

river. Today there are many
bridges, and you can see
famous ones, like Tower Bridge

Writing tip
Tip!
Remember to check your
spelling and punctuation with
the help of a partner.
How to make a little book about your town:
• Use a few large pieces of coloured card and fold them in half. Put them one inside the other
and staple them together.
• Draw something on the cover and write the title: My town.
• Find pictures of your town fifty years ago. Alternatively, ask older people about your town
and draw pictures on the left-hand pages.
• Find or draw pictures of your town today on the right-hand pages.
• Write sentences about the pictures. Write in pencil so that you can correct any mistakes.
• At the top of the left-hand pages, write ‘50 years ago’. Write ‘now’ at the top of the
right-hand pages. Use large letters.
• When you are ready, write over your letters using markers or coloured pencils.
• Before you begin writing, make notes of the information you want to include. Write the first
draft. Then revise your writing (structures and vocabulary). After that, edit it (punctuation)
and exchange it with a partner to make new suggestions. Finally, write your final draft.
Remember: Use a variety of grammatical structures and adjectives/vocabulary, and make
sure you have used the tenses correctly.

Possessive adjectives / Possessive pronouns
Possessive adjectives always go before nouns and do not take articles before them.
e.g. Her hat is pink.
Possessive pronouns replace possessive adjectives + noun, so they are never followed by nouns. They
can be used as short answers to questions starting with whose.
e.g. Your bag is brown, but mine is blue. It’s your shirt.
The parrot is his. Whose shirt is this? It’s yours.
Whose pencil is this? It’s her pencil. It’s hers.
