The key takeaways are improving writing skills such as linking words together in sentences, rewriting and joining sentences for a group of pre-intermediate English learners.

The aims of the lesson are for learners to have an improved sense of writing in terms of linking words together in a sentence, rewriting and joining sentences.

The activities included in the lesson are a lead-in activity where learners write sentences from conversations, an activity where they complete sentences and join sentences, and an activity where they generate reasons and rewrite sentences using the word 'feel'.
