2. E-mail the word PRESENT to a few friends of yours who are also learners of English (or if you're working with a partner you can do it between yourselves). ASK them to list under the word "Present" between 5 and 10 ideas/phrases/words associated to it.

i.e.

When you have the associations/suggestions write a simple poem of 10 lines with the ideas. How? By writing in the bookmark below. If you like, you may print the bookmark to make it a present on an occasion.

Why do this? To do a shared activity in English which can become creative, fun and useful for various reasons.
