I'm going to camp!!!!!

1. Look online for a camp you'd like to participate in. It can have to do with anything you're interested in: sports, arts and crafts, beauty, video games, etc.
• Use search words like "football camp Australia", "diy camp California", "lan camp Switzerland"
• Try e.g. Yosemite Backpacking Trips, Sports Camps Australia, National Youth Music Camps UK
• The language has to be English!
2. Once you've found a camp you find interesting, come up with at least three questions you want to ask someone in charge. Write a formal letter (similar to the one Gina wrote in Text 8, Part 2) to the organizers. Include
• the name & address of the person you're sending the letter to
• your address
• appropriate beginning and ending for the letter
• Remember to be extremely polite!
3. Next, write an email / a Facebook message / a text to a friend of yours who you think might be interested in joining you. Include
• basic information about the camp
• why you'd like to go and why you think your friend might, too
• what your expectations are
• You can write casual English for this one.
4. Write both letters in the same Google document and share it with me at etunimi.sukunimi@edu.hel.fi

+ If you finish both letters, you can go to Quizlet and study a)  the words and b) the phrases of text 8.

Sports news

1. Go to your preferred Finnish news site (Iltalehti, Helsingin Sanomat, Ilta-Sanomat, ...). Choose one sport (for example cycling, ski-jumping, swimming, horseback riding, etc.) and find a piece of interesting news related to that sport.

• Why did you choose this piece of news?
• What is your relationship to this sport? Have you ever tried it?
• What are/would be your strengths and weaknesses in this sport?
