A classmate you will never forget!
After asking my students to transform a text about the ideal friend/classmate (Think Teen 2, page 14)
by changing all positive adjectives into negatives, they came up with very creative ideas. I enjoyed reading about their rivals, enemies and bullies as much as they enjoyed writing about them.
So I decided to use their texts and their best ideas into one text for them to read.
So here it is:
MARCUS THE TERRIBLE IV
I want to tell you about my terrible new classmate His name is Markus the Terrible IV!.
He is older than me because he missed a year- he is a really bad student. As you can see from the photo he has got really long, oily black hair and brown, evil eyes. His face is wrinkled and spotty, his nose is always running and he has an awful smile with yellow teeth, the worst smile I have ever seen. He laughs like a nerd and blue spit comes out of his mouth. He is so disgusting and obnoxious. He is always sweaty and he stinks like a cow! He hasn 't taken a bath for ages!
Unfortunately the teacher made me sit next to him! I was furious with my teacher's decision!
I cannot see him in the eyes because he looks like an enormous jellyfish and I don't want to be turned into a rock!
He comes from a rich family and he is very spoiled. His parents are so odd! His dad is a dog keeper and his mum owns a fast food restaurant. He has a younger sister, called Martha, who looks like a homeless girl.
Markus always takes my things without asking me and insults me and my friends.
I am not afraid of him. I just want him to leave me alone. We don't make a good team. His taste in music is terrible, he doesn't like football, he fights with everybody and cheats at tests.
Moreover, he is rude and selfish.I think he is a psychopath who has escaped from a mental hospital or an alien who is visiting the Earth.
We are never going to be friends!
Congratulations to all who had fun writing about this imaginary enemy!
