Monday 25th Wednesday 27th May

Hi class, how are you? I hope really well and ready to spend a good time, especially if you can enjoy a trip... Those who are here... please, have a look to your homework.


We were working with an interesting  article about clothes (and culture in general) in Jamaica last class and we learnt many things. Please, read it again and answer the questions in activity B.


These days we have finished out first book. We revised voc related to clothes and worked a bit more with the topic about the weather. We learnt some new idioms related to this. Remember that idioms are common expressions that in general can't be translated literally into Spanish. So you have to understand the meaning and the situations in which we can use them, but you don't need to translatee to understand, all right?


I recommend you to have a look again.

Remember: try to keepan example un your mind, not a literal translation.


I think that's all.

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

Monday 18th Wednesday 20th May

Hi class, how's it going? I hope you're fine and ready to enjoy a nice and happy weekend... Although you have some homework! You have time enough so I hope you do your best and remember: if there's something you don't understand do not hesitate and ask me, right?

These days we have continued working with weather voc. One of the most important things we have learnt (or revised) has been CONNECTORS. Although in our book we didn't find a lot yet... last Wed we worked with the ones that are more frequent. Here you have: 

We will learn how we use them as we practice; don't worry if don't remember all of them all the time.

Next week we will finish this revision of clothes and weather and so with this book. And we will continue with more speaking practice as we have done these days.

Don't forget your activities, ok?

That's all.

Be good, have fun, see you in class!

Monday 11th Wednesday 13th May

Hi class! How's it going? I hope you're really fine enjoying a longer weekend... those who can! Even the weather is wonderful!



These days we have been working with more voc related to weather and we have introduced the FUTURE SIMPLE. As you saw in class is a very simple structure, now we will see more uses with some activities.


Remember:

So here you are the uses.


And remember also to bring your homework: it's on pages 67 and 68.


That's all today.


Be good, have fun, see you in class!

Monday 4th Wednesday 6th May

Hi class! How is it going? I hope everything's right and you're in the mood not to give up... As we said by the end of the second term, all  of us must make an effort in order to improve our skills. I know this can be tiring but the only way to learn a language is by practicing. The more the better, ok? So, please, don't get angry if I ask you to go on working.


These days we continued working with the topic about the weather. On Monday we watched the Weather Forecast and completed some activities. In fact, we have worked with listening a lot these days, don't you think? I encourage you to have a look to some more forecast videos. The more you listen the better you'll pronounce

On Wed we also learnt some "weather expressions"; as we said, these sayings are very common in spoken language. Here you have this link in case you want to watch again

Remember to do your homework, all right? On page 54-55 you have a letter. You have to complete that letter, record yourselves while reading, and write your own letter.


That's all, class.


Be good, have fun,see you in class!

Monday 27th Wednesday 29th April

Hello class! How are you? Ready to enjoy this long weekend? Well, I hope you have a really good time here or there... but having a nice time.


These days we finished that topic of clothes by revising everything learnt, voc, grammar, phrasal verbs... And then on Wed we started a new lesson: THE WEATHER. We distinguished the 4 seasons and described the weather for each. We also spoke about the things we like and we don't like of the 4 seasons and asked and answered these questions:

• What's your favourite season? Why?
• What's the weather like today? What was it yesterday?
• How does this kind of weather make you feel?
• Is the weather typical for this time of the year?

We had a very good chat!

And just for you in case you need some help with voc... 

That's all.

Be good, have fun, see you in class!

Hi class, how are you? I'm sure ok enjoying some free time...  maybe you're also having fun doing your homework, as at last I asked you to record yourselves while reading... I hope you find this activity useful and funny. Although at first you may think it's ridiculous, believe me, it isn't at all... you'll see.


These days we have finished lesson 3 and we have started working with some phrasal verbs, I know  this can be a bit frustrating since they are a lot, but little by little you will learn how to use them. Also we have worked with pronounciation, focusing this week on silent letters; it was very funny.


On Monday we started working with a new audio-book as well. As last course we did and you liked we will do again. This time we are listening a Sherlock Holmes' case... let's see how the story goes on next Monday.

I hope you enjoy this activity.

Be good, have fun, see you in class!

Hi ladies, how are you? I hope you're fine afer these days of our "strange"week... Well from this moment on everything will be as usual. Thanks for your cooperation.



These days we have worked a lot with comparative and superlative adjectives. All your activities were right, very well done, so I think we don't need to stop to complete  mote activities or to give more explanation... don't you think? This is just a note for you to remember:

Also we have done many listening and speaking practice, related to clothes and so on. Your role-play activities were also very well. I'm very happy with your improvement in pronounciation, it makes me very happy to see that you take this very serious.


Talking about listening you will have to listen again to complete the activity. Although it can be done without listening I prefer you to ttry again as we did in class, I mean, first without looking at the trasnscrip and then... if needed you can have a look. You then answer the questions on page 34, ok?

To go on with your homework, please, complete activities on pages 31 and 32 as well.


That's all girls.


Be good, have fun, see you in class!

Bye!
