The idea is to find an English word (synonym or antonym related to the word – WRITE (verbo) and then write a simple sentence in English and Spanish for that word.

Or an unusual use of the word.

Examples:

I’m writing to you to ask for your help. / Le escribo para pedirle ayuda.

They wrote off for the special booklet. / Escribieron pidiendo el folleto especial.

I wrote back to him to say thanks. / Le contesté dándole las gracias.

Thankyou card photo: Thankyou 21757ab94a3237de0169da807e3a8b4a.gif

Pictures are a good idea.

This link might help you find some ideas.

We have no official corrector for this challenge yet.

I think I can manage to be the corrector for the English. smile?

Please encourage everyone by voting for them and me. wink

This was the previous challenge.

The older I get the more my signature looks like an indecipherable scrawl.

Cuanto más viejo me hago más mi firma parece un garabato indescifrable.

(Help with Spanish appreciated. I'm not sure at all about this construction.)

The moving hand once having writ moves on. Nor all thy piety nor wit can lure it back to cancel half a line...

Una vez que escrito, la mano en movimiento sigue mudar. Ni toda vuestra piedad ni ingenio no puede incitarlo a volverse y borrar una media frase...

Aunque siempre he mantenido listas de lo que tenía que hacer, en el pasado realizaba mis quehaceres si los garabateé o no, pero con el paso del tiempo, hoy en día, si no lo pongo por escrito, no lo hago.

Even though I have always maintained lists of what I needed to do, in the past I used to accomplish my tasks whether I scribbled them down or not, but with age, nowadays, if I don't put it down in writing, I don't do it.

Nowadays people don't write one another other or even send much email. They seem to prefer to text and it is difficult for me to do it because I don't have a smartphone.

Hoy en día la gente no escribe el uno al otro otra o incluso enviar mucho emai. Parece que prefieren al texto y es para mí es difícil hacerlo porque no tengo un teléfono inteligente.enter image description here
