Jane Austen's Day_ Benny


The 28th of January  Mary told us occurred the bicentenary of Pride and Prejudice,Jane Austen's most famous book. We started to talk about Jane Austen's life, about her novels, and we discuss how these novels are actually right now.
suddenly, when Mary gave a work to us ( we had to prepare some informations about jane austen and tell them to our classmates), the light went off and darkness fell.
Me and Caroline were doing this work together on the computer and we felt so sad when,bacause of the electricity, our work got lost.
after a few minutes, the electricity came back -what a relief!- but it was too late to continue our work: we had to leave in about twenty minutes, but we couldn't not celebrate anymore Jane Austen's day, that would be really upset.
consequentely, Mary decided to have a cup of tea together, with a glass of milk and biscuits: what a delight! 
I really liked this lesson because I had never heard about jane austen, and I discovered  her thanks to Mary and i think i'll read some of her books.
bye ! :D

    Hi again Benny,
    A nice, eventful narrative.
    Here are a few points:

    - On (the) 28th January, Mary told us it was the bi-centenary of ...
    - and we discussed (What exactly do you mean by "how these novels actually are right now?)
    - Suddenly (capital "s"), when (or as soon as) Mary had given us a task ...
    - information is uncountable so no "s" (also tell "it" not "them"..)
    - Capital letters for her name Jane Austen
    - Caroline and I
    - maybe "power cut" or "loss of electricity" would be clearer than just "electricity"
    - Capital "a" for after
    - the electricity came back on
    - but we wouldn't be able to celebrate Jane Austen's Day any more and that would have been a real pity. Consequently, Mary decided we should have ...
    Again don't forget capital letters for names (Jane Austen)
    - Capital for I
    - "I think I'm going to" might sound more determined than "I think I will" but both are ok.

    You have really managed to convey the atmosphere of the event. Well done.
    Best regards, Sherry
