Paragraphs:

v Yesterday, I spent the whole morning riding on my bike. I am starting to get well trained until the race comes. Then, I spent the rest of the day watching the cycling on television. Talking about bikes, have you got yours mended yet? We have to train harder if we want to win the race.

v I desisted totally to the idea of inviting Darlene and Jackie to spend the holiday with us. Darlene is as miserable as ever, and Jackie never comes to visit us. Anyway, I’m sure you don’t want to hear about this again, so let’s get back to those holiday plans without them. We need to have everything organized before Friday, so please come to my home tomorrow to talk about it.

Ø Analysis: when the teacher told us to put some sentences in context, I started to write simple paragraphs just to describe the situation in which they happened. I did pay attention to the gender of each paragraph, but they are just a part of what it should be a complete dialogue, in the first case, and a complete letter in the second one.

I did not pay attention to the first sentence of my paragraphs which should contain the main topic. Apart from that, I tend to start writing without thinking about a special audience or the register.
