Then find a suitable title for the paragraph and write a shorter version of around 80 words. Which parts of the paragraph can you make shorter? WRITING 1 Unit 07 | The story of my life This way, toys that are no longer wanted could become very useful in raising money for a social project. The toys could be sold at a flea market organised by the school and run by the pupils themselves. The money raised could be used for a number of social projects, such as supporting children in need, homeless people, or those who are physically challenged. I think it’s a great idea to sell old toys to raise money for a social project. It’s a fact that teenagers no longer play with Playmobil, dolls, toy trains and the like. These things are now just being stored in the attic or cellar and are no use to anyone. Word order/Suffixes/Topic vocabulary Put the parts below into the right order to form sentences.
