What is an English Teacher’s Favourite Word? (at least while they’re teaching!)
The answer is…(roll of drums)… BECAUSE …because (geddit?) in English, and many other subjects, REASONS for what you’re saying are what get you the big marks.
What do you think? • In 2002, lucky Michael Carroll, age 20, won over nine million pounds on the lottery. • Write down how you feel about this. Give a REASON for what you think.

Mr. Carroll could have… • … used his win to turn his life around. • However, he squandered the money and finished up broke again. • Is this justice, or do you feel sorry for him?
