Hi guys! Here is an example of a 100 word article using all the phrasal verbs I told you. Remember that the personal pronoun I is always in CAPITAL LETTERS. 

THE WEATHER

Let's look into Spain's weather, where sunny days are frequent. However, due to less rain, there's a need to cut down on water use. This leads to challenges like droughts and wildfires. To address this, communities have set up water-saving programs. Experts point out that using water wisely is crucial. By following these steps, Spain aims to deal with weather changes. It's important to keep up with these efforts for a sustainable future. Despite challenges, people look forward to enjoying Spain's beautiful landscapes under the sun. Let's stay informed and hopeful about the weather ahead!

Despite challenges, locals and tourists alike look forward to spending time relaxing on Spain's stunning beaches under the sun.

SUMMER TIME

Next summer, as a 12-year-old, I'm thrilled to share my plans for Spain. I'll look into exciting beach activities like swimming and making sandcastles also I plan to do some surfing. However, I'll cut down on screen time to avoid missing out on outdoor fun. My family has set up a schedule to ensure a balance between play and relaxation. 

It's crucial to point out that spending time in nature leads to happiness and creativity. We must respect all animals in the coast. Our teacher told us to do that and I think it's fair. By keeping up with outdoor adventures, I'll make the most of my summer. I eagerly look forward to endless sunny days on Spain's beautiful beaches, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Speaking (PET & KET)

The PET (Preliminary English Test) speaking part typically involves a brief interview, then describing a photograph, and then debating with your partner and making a choice about something. Finally, you will be asked some questions, opinions, likes and dislikes about the topic of the debate.

All the speaking test will last about 14 minutes.

Here are some ideas for preparing for this part of the exam:

1. Practice Describing Photos: Start by practicing describing various types of photos. You can use photographs from magazines, newspapers, or online resources. Describe what you see in the photo, including people, objects, actions, and the setting.

2. Use Adjectives: Incorporate adjectives to make your descriptions more interesting. For example, instead of saying "a car," you can say "a shiny red car." This adds detail to your description.

3. Narrate the Scene: Provide a narrative or storyline for the photo. Imagine what might have happened before or after the moment captured in the picture. This can make your description more engaging.

4. Practice with a Partner: Find a study partner or language exchange partner to practice describing photos together. This will help you become more comfortable with speaking in English.

5. Work on Your Fluency: Pay attention to your fluency and pronunciation. Speak clearly and at a moderate pace. Don't rush through your description.

6. Vocabulary: Expand your vocabulary related to common objects, actions, and settings. This will help you describe the photo more effectively.

7. Time Management: In the PET speaking part 2, you typically have about 1 minute to describe the photo. Practice timing yourself to ensure you can provide a thorough description within the time limit.

8. Listen and Respond: During the test, listen carefully to your partner's description and respond appropriately. You may need to ask questions or make comments based on what your partner said.

9. Use Connectors: Use connectors and transition words (e.g., "in the background," "on the left," "next to") to help organize your description logically.

10. Review Sample Questions: Familiarize yourself with the types of questions you may encounter in this part of the exam. Reviewing sample questions can help you prepare for different topics.

11. Stay Calm: Nervousness can affect your speaking abilities. Practice relaxation techniques to stay calm during the test.

12. Record Yourself: Record your practice sessions and listen to them. This can help you identify areas for improvement in your pronunciation and fluency.

Remember that practice is key to success in the PET speaking part. The more you practice describing photos and responding to prompts, the more confident you'll become.
