Journal One

Simple introductory journal – you are a hypochondriac and you are always sick. (If confident, say why you are sick.)

Journal Two

Say why you are sick and what you can do to get better.  - medications, doctor.

Journal Three

Like Journal Two but demonstrate your increased skill in manipulating the vocabulary and grammar learnt this year (especially this term.)  Use ‘il faut’.  Introduce good health suggestions – what you should and shouldn’t do.

Journal Four

You’ve taken up smoking and you talk about the health benefits and detriments of this habit.  But, remember, you’re a hypochondriac – so you’re still sick.

Journal Five

This is your chance to bring your A game and write your best journal entry ever, using as much complex grammar as you can.
