-ing, to do, or both are correct, with a different meaning

When two verbs meet, there are three possible situations: 1. The second verb needs an -ing ending, e.g.  I enjoy dream ing . 2. The verbs need "to" in between them, e.g.  I want to stay at home today. 3. The verbs stay themselves, needing nothing to add, e.g. We can help you! Some verbs take an -ing ending at one situation, and to at another. The meaning is different in each case. Compare: She stopped swimming and took some rest. While he was hiking through the forest, he noticed a beautiful lake, so he stopped to swim.

Writing time

Choose one task and write a text (100-200 words) 1. Write a blog entry in which you - tell your readers about a visit to a museum; - describe an item or an exhibition; - report an unusual event that happened during your visit; - ask your readers to write back and tell you about their experiencing a visit to a museum. 2 . Write a letter to the headmaster /headmistress of your school.  In the letter: - tell the person about some activity you did during last summer holidays and why it was special; - tell the person that you'd like to organise something based on it in your school, e.g. an event or a club; - ask the person what you'd need to think about while preparing the thing; - ask who could help you (teachers, parents, other students, etc.)
