Monday 19th Wednesday 21st January

Hi ladies! How's it going? I hope you're not tired of the past simple although we have worked very hard these days.

Last Monday we were listening to the pronunciation of the -ed ending in order to get a good accent. I know it can be difficult and a bit tiring, but little by little you'll get the right pronuncition without stopping to think.

Also these days we have worked with the biography as a type of writing. I have to say you did very good biographies, interesting info and few mistakes. Let's see next time without writing; I'm talking about your homework, as we said on Wed in class.  Remember you have to prepare a short presentation/speaking about an importat event in the past/history. You have to include these points:

1. Short description of the event
2. People involved
3. Why that event has made history

Try to include:

• Past simple, both regular and irregular
• Past time expressions (ago, since, when, IN with years)
• Connectors (however, on the one hand - on the other hand, although...)

Well, I think that's all this week. Although if you have a little time you could have  look to this video which shows the pronunciation of the -ed ending. Be careful: it's American:

I hope you enjoy!!

Be good, have fun, see you in class!!
