The Language Exchange

Welcome to our Language Exchange! This blog is a platform for my students to publish their own texts in the languages I teach them. I think this might be a good way to motivate them to learn languages. Feel free to comment on the posts. And please be nice. (Every student has written an introductory post, usually accompanied by a photo. You can find them in the archives.)

Pirates of the Atlantic - by Patrick

Patrick had to study for a test using the Simple Past and "pirates" vocab, here's what he worked out:

One day a sailing ship left the harbour of New York. On the ship was a rich family from Long Island. After a few hours, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, they could see a thunderstorm coming up at the horizon. Sharks were everywhere around the boat. Suddenly a ship approached. When it was quite near, they could see a skull on the flag flying from the mast. It was the "Witch of the Waves", the most feared ship in the world. Only the most terrifying pirates were on it. The family was scared by them. The pirates entered their sailing ship and kidnapped their eldest daughter. She was a beautiful girl with long blonde hair. Then they stole their money. They took the girl with them to an unknown island which you couldn't find on any map. On this island, there was a treasure in a cave 500 metres below the ground which was guarded by poisonous snakes.
The girl had to put up with the situation and she fell in love with the captain. They got married on the island and together they went on to rob many ships and got richer and richer.
