Triple Word Challenge #15
Message from jonquille posted on 19-08-2012 at 02:51:29 (D | E | F)
Hello,

Summer is here. Time to play and practice using your English vocabulary! This “game” will have no winners, it will merely be a means of displaying your knowledge and talent! Therefore, the rules are simple, but should the need arise, rules may be adjusted or added.

RULES

Goal: Very simple! Create a text using the 3 words that have been given to you. The text may be short (10-40 words) or longer (60-80 words). PLEASE! Try to keep to these limits, or I'll be up all night reading all of them (and my husband will wonder who is more important) ! Haha!

1) Who can participate?: All members from beginner to expert.
2) Word usage: Try to keep the words in the form in which they are given. However, since this is a game to help you improve your English, some changes to the words will be accepted (letters may be added/changed to correspond to the subject, verbs may be changed from singular to plural). For native English speakers, no changes to the words will be allowed.
3) Language usage: Texts should be correct (grammar, spelling, punctuation). Please make the text appropriate to the users of this site (remember they are of all ages!). You will receive a private message if your text has errors.
4) Texts: Entries may be surrealistic or “creative” but they must make sense logically!
5) Game end: Each game will finish on the time and date noted in red. Words for succeeding games will be chosen randomly from the texts of those who have participated in the current game.
6) Text: To make the words easier to find in the texts, please put the game words in blue.

Important!! Closing date for this game: Thursday, 6 PM in New Hampshire, USA (CHANGE OF DAY!!)
(Your first challenge...what time is it for you when it is 6 PM in New Hampshire? )

Your next challenge – to use these words in a text (sentence, SHORT story, poem):
Noun – energy
Adjective – tanned
Verb – climb

Hello everyone!

This will be the last round of the Triple Word Challenge. Summer is nearly over, school will be starting soon, and I will not have as much time to spend on this. Also, so that I will have time to start preparing for a new school year, please note the change of the closing date for this game!

I thank all of you for participating, and I hope the newest participants will continue to participate in this last game...as well as in others on the site. Since the start of the game this summer, a total of 36 members have participated. Congratulations to all of you for all of your hard work! I hope to revive this game during my next long vacation! Enjoy the rest of the summer. May it bring you enough sun and warmth to last throughout the winter!

Hello jonquille,

Thanks for this last TWC game.

How lucky you are! You'll soon have the opportunity to use your energy teaching tanned students a few things they are fond of. They won't talk any more, they won't run everywhere, they will be quiet I am sure. Maybe some of them will try to climb up the tree in the schoolyard, but don't worry, they are used to that.

Hello jonquille,
I'm so sad, that the game is ending.
Will it come back during another holiday? I really hope so!
Here's my last try.

The young tanned boy is used to climbing up the cliff. He has such energy, that he climbs up it in 2 minutes.
He climbs the cliff with agility, like a cat climbs a tree. When he comes back down, he has some mischief in his eyes, ready to start again at any moment.

Thanks, a last time, jonquille, for this game that I love.
Enjoy the rest of your summer.

PS : By the way, which subject do you teach ?

Hello, dear Jonquille,

Thanks to you,during the too short time you guided and motived us with enthusiasm and energy,you helped us succeed in climbing the ladder of our English learning and became both tanner and better performing.

Enjoy these last summer days, and see you later.

Hello Jonquille,

Thanks for this last TWC

With energy he climbed the stairs into the village, and discovered a workshop in which the leather was tanned.

Have a nice summer's end, and see you later

Hi Jonguille,
Giving my best wishes to you and your students.

Here is my try,
There is a ladder in our house. It has a long history in our family and is made of bamboo. It faced sunny days, rains, windy days and became tanned and wet. A few days ago I had a lot of energy and I used it to climb onto the roof. Unfortunately, the result was bad, I fell down. The rungs were too slippery to climb the ladder and I lost my balance.

Hello dear Jonquille!

As she is keen on cycling, our dear Jonquille has just been given a new up-to-date bicycle by her husband.
This bike is actually a device turning mechanical energy into electricity. It can supply the whole house with power...as long as dear Jonquille pedals energetically, of course.
On the other hand, it is a good way to become nicely tannedwhen the bike is outside, as well as a good reason to not regret to have to go back to school!
At the end of the day, be careful when climbing down from this bicycle, Jonquille, since you will be exhausted !

Hello,

I will send you a PM soon.
Here is my try:
I think we will soon be able to leave for Morvan. But before that, let's make sure we have everything: [...] the suntan lotion so we can get tanned and show off in front of our colleagues, the walking sticks to give us energy to climb the mountains, some modelling clay for the hamster who will climb his own moutain...
I think we're all set. Let's go on holiday!

Thank you!

See you later!

Hello,
It's my turn.
Save energy! Do not use machines to get tanned! Climb this mountain of lazinness in front of you and go to the beach.

Hello again,

Here is my second try:

And now, look at n°8: she is really tanned.
And this is the last one, n°9: she is full of energy.
Now, the jury will vote for the best contestants who will be able to climb onto the podium!

Thank you!

Hello jonquille,
Here's a second try :

The girl I'm going to talk about is tanned and full of energy. Every morning, she runs 1 kilometre to the beach. From here, she can admire the sun climbing into the sky. She'll never grow tired of that gorgeous sight.

Thank you, once again. I love this game
See you

Hello to all participants in this game and in previous ones!

Thank you for playing and putting up with me correcting, commenting, and suggesting different ways of rewriting your texts! I've enjoyed reading all of your texts and watching you improve in your language skills. Though school will be starting once again for me, and this game is over temporarily.... don't stop writing!

May each of you enjoy the coming fall season in all its glory... colorful leaves, not too hot, not too cold, and plenty of time to sit back and appreciate all of it!

I wish you a lovely fall season as well as a happy and not too tiring school year...
Keep enjoying riding, not only for power! and have some great bike rides.
Look at these children waiting eagerly and joyfully for you:

Nice, isn't it?

Re: Triple Word Challenge #15 from linlinapril, posted on 04-09-2012 at 05:15:28 (D | E)
hello, this is april from the east. I'm really a freshman here,however, I still want to have a try on this interesting game. With summer going by, I got a tunned skin color because I enjoyed the sunshine so much during the past months. Comparing with most of my friends, I'm really the one who have lots of energy no matter on vocation or job. In fact, I didn't climb any trees or mountains or even hills recently, so it's a hard task for me to use the verb"climb". How is that、
