Här kommer några strukturer för att utveckla språket i tal och skrift och få ett djupare perspektiv och resonemang i innehållet.
De kan användas när eleverna ska uttrycka sig om åsikter och upplevelser. Strukturerna kan också användas som strategier för att se hur en åsikt kan förtydligas och utvecklas. Kommunikationen kan varieras och breddas om man synliggör hur man kan göra det.

Today I would like to talk about how to become the most popular teen in school. Firstly, I think getting good academic results is the first factor to make you become popular since, having a good academic result, your teacher will award you in front of your schoolmates. Then, your schoolmates will know who you are and maybe they would like to get to know you because they want to learn something good from you.
Secondly, I think participating in school clubs and student unions can help to make you become popular, since after participating in these school clubs or student union, people will know who you are and it can help you to make friends all around the school, no matter senior forms or junior forms. In conclusion, I think to become the most popular teen in school we need to have good academic results and also participate in school clubs and student union.
