Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Smith are sisters. Mrs. Wilson lives in a house in Duncan
and Mrs. Smith lives in a condominium in Victoria. One day Mrs. Wilson visited
her sister. When her sister answered the door, Mrs. Wilson saw tears in her
eyes. "What's the matter?" she asked. Mrs. Smith said "My cat Sammy died last
night and I have no place to bury him".
She began to cry again. Mrs. Wilson was very sad because she knew her sister
loved the cat very much. Suddenly Mrs.. Wilson said "I can bury your cat in my
garden in Duncan and you can come and visit him sometimes." Mrs.. Smith stopped
crying and the two sisters had tea together and a nice visit.
It was now five o'clock and Mrs. Wilson said it was time for her to go home. She
put on her hat, coat and gloves and Mrs. Smith put the dead Sammy into a
shopping bag. Mrs. Wilson took the shopping bag and walked to the bus stop. She
waited a long time for the bus so she bought a newspaper. When the bus arrived,
she got on the bus, sat down and put the shopping bag on the floor beside her
feet. She then began to read the newspaper. When the bus arrived at her bus
stop, she got off the bus and walked for about two minutes. Suddenly she
remembered she had left the shopping bag on the bus.

present them! Considering the time allowed, you WILL have to use your own judgment
and select what seems more important and pertinent.
2- Put some COLORS in your project to make it appealing. But NO color over the writing.
Black ink only for the "TYPED" writing, NO handwriting.
3- There must be SOME maps, photos or pictures.
4- You HAVE to look at real Web sites for your country but you MUST NOT copy/paste
them. Except for names of places, you should use your own English words. As a proof
of your understanding, you MUST BE ABLE to explain the meaning of any words used in
your project. SPELLING is very important. And so is the QUALITY of your English.
Use the dictionary. Numbers NOT written in letters.
5- Make your project as REALISTIC and APPEALING as possible, complete without
being overloaded. Use SHORT sentences.
6- POSTERS : regular Standard Size Cardboard (easily found at "Dollar Store" at 1$)
7- ORIGINALITY and PRESENTATION: interesting, original, straight lines, sections well
identified, neat, clear, orderly..
So you have to choose a country among those given by your teacher.
