USA - travel journal

 You are going to embark on a 30-day trip around the United States. You need to include the things below – somewhere in your story/travel journal.

Write your travel journal in a Word document and feel free to include photos/pictures. Share your text with me as soon as you have started. 

Include:
1.    Visit at least two states.
2.    Names and basic information about, at least, two big cities
3.    Three sights/attractions that are well-known
4.    Food that you have tried
5.    Descriptions of scenery and landscape
6.    What the weather has been like
7.   Where are you staying? 

     Comparison between the United States and your own country. How is it different? Is it similar in any way? 

START with you arriving at John F Kennedy Airport in New York City. Then, feel free to go in any direction, by any means of transportation and with any budget. It is good if you start off making a mind map and think about what places you would like to visit before you start writing.

My travel blog from London

Since London is one of my favourite cities I wanted to go there this summer to experience it with my best friend Steve. Our journey began by taking the train over the Öresund’s bridge to Copenhagen Airport where we took an afternoon flight to Heathrow. After arriving in London we checked in at ”The Dorchester Hotel” which I can really recommend if you like 5-star hotels.





We went to ”The London Eye” which has become a symbol for London. It is a giant Ferris wheel situated on the banks of the river Thames which was built in 1999.. It’s also called ”The Millennium Wheel” because it was built to celebrate the new millennium. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the UK with 3.5 million visitors each year.




Then we took a refreshing walk to Buckingham Palace to watch the change of the guards. Queen Elisabeth II still lives in the castle with her husband. Buckingham palace has 775 rooms, which includes 78 bathrooms for those who are in need of one and 188 staff rooms for the staff to spend their time after serving the queen and the palace.
While Steve and I were walking towards Oxford Street to do some shopping I suddenly got a text from David Cameron saying that I should come to 10 Downing Street at once. Since I didn’t want to disobey the Prime Minster I left Steve to do some shopping of his own and rushed there.

What do you believe? You are going to write a short paper on the topic conspiracy theories. You will focus on what YOU think and believe. 

Down below I have questions to help you explain the theory of your choosing. You will get 4 weeks to finish your paper. Try and get all the questions below into the text. These questions will help you write the text:

  • Describe the event – The official story, what has happened? 
  • Describe the theory/ies – what is/are it/they about? Who started it/them? etc. 
  • Do you find anything about the theory/ies that seem plausible (correct)? Explain how you think. 
  • What about the theory/ies does not seem plausible? Why? 
  • Do you believe the theory? Why or why not?  
You will use your computer as an information centre. If you have trouble finding anything, do not hesitate to ask for help. Write a maximum of two pages. To help you along, I will provide you with a number of selections that you can chose from – if you have a theory yourself, you can use that.
