    Great job!
    This is an ideal assignment for adult students. Most read the newspaper anyway, right? Or watch the evening news. Ask them to choose a news story that has piqued their interest, and have them:

    Write a report on the news story
    Write a dialogue in which a journalist interviews someone involved in the story.
    Answer a question like, “What could have gone differently?”, thus prompting them to use conditionals, for example (If the truck driver had not answered his cell phone, he would not have caused the accident.)

      Dear Nicoleta,
      this is really an assignment for the 3nd year students. I am sorry that you have not got that I am teaching at the university and all the assignments fit their level.
      If you have observed the topic of the session was friendship, they prepared projects. As a consequence, they had to work on the semantics.
      I am quite sorry that you have get the track of everything that has been proposed.
      THanks anyway.
