On January 23rd,2015 I asked the 801 students to write about their vacations in English.some of them said that it was a very broad topic to write about. I told them that they had 20 minutes to write as much as posible.The students who brought the English dictionary to class began to use it and the others began to ask the teacher and their classmates.Some students asked me a lot,teacher,how do you say "me" in English?. Five students did not write anything.
According to students´texts I can observe that the most common problems in wrting are:
- Lack of subject before verbs.
- Lack of meaning.
- Copy from their classmates.
-They do not use appropriate words.For instance,a student wrote " exit" to talk about the verb "go".He wrote: " I and my familiy exit to the museum of Gold"
- They do not use verb tenses correctly.
-They do not know how to use appropraitely personal pronouns and object pronouns.A student wrote: " me the pass in house"
- They use the verb to be to write sentences with other verbs.A student wrote: " I am went Fusa"
- Two students do not know how to search words in the dictionary since they wrote the first word that appears in it.For example,adv (adverb).
- They write in English as they do in Spanish.A student wrote: " the year new"
