Dear Sabina,
Great job!
However:
1) The facts presented in your text are very interesting, however I wish we could see those photos. And here we would have got into a Copyright trouble.
You could have added a link to the resource. And thus would have credited the source.

Still, the purpose of this project is to develop YOU creativity. I do recommend that you write about something YOU know. Of course, you can use some input materials, but as a part of YOUR text.

2) Please, pay attention to the text structure. There is an introduction, there should be a conclusion, a closing sentence. Usually people express their feelings or say how the reader can use the information provided.


Please, read my comments in the file that I've sent to you.


The total score for this text is 783 points and you are awarded an ICAN Winner sticker!
