Good morning,

yesterday we started the class by revising some vocabulary we've learned this year. Then, we had another look at the relative clauses grammar. We spoke about the pros and cons of living in another country/city and we did a listening about it (page 94). We introduced a way to emphasize in English with the so-called cleft-sentences.

Homework:
Cleft Sentences worksheet (on Zona de Usuarios)
Reading "John Carlin"  (on Zona de Usuarios)

Remember we'll be having our last class tomorrow. Please, don't forget to bring any question, doubt... that you'd like to get solved before the exam. You can also email me so I can even prepare something in advance.

See you then!

Good morning everybody!

Yesterday we saw different homographs -words which are spelt the same but are pronounced in a different way becasue they are, in fact, different words- (p. 100). We saw the formation of different nouns and verbs from adjectives (book p. 99). We did a couple of listening activities on the topics of sport and cancer research. At the end of the class, we started the revision of Relative Clauses, having a look at some typical mistakes.

Homework:
p. 99 ex. 2c
Grammar Bank p. 159 ex. a
Mock Reading "Internet use curbs depression" (on Zona de Usuarios)

NOTE: you already have the list with the number of non-attendaces attached to the classroom door.

Have a nice weekend and see you next week (the last one!!)

C1:18th May 2016

Good evening!

We based today's class on different issues which affect the world somehow: evictions and discrimination. We did several speaking interactions about those topics, apart from a reading and a listening. During a lighter-hearted second part of the class, we tested ourselves on the kind of compainer we are (book, page 142). We also had a look at different types of phrasal verbs (page 143 ex. 2)

Homework:
Book p. 143 e. 3
Reading 'Wife's Salary' (on Zona de usuarios)

NOTE: you already have the list with the number of non-attendaces attached to the classroom door.

Have a nice weekend and see you next week (the last one!!)

2NA: 17th May 2016

Good evening,

today we started the session remembering some containers (mug, jug, jar, sack, case...). Then, we moved on to the difference between the possessive 's (the formerly-known Saxon Genitive) and the use of 'of'.  We did a mock listening exam about the importance of Vitamin D in children. Starting Unit 10B, we did a mock interaction about sports from a more controversial view (page 101).

Homework:
Reading p. 98 ex. b + Lexis

See you on Thursday!

C1:16th May 2016

Good evening,

today we've seen some differences between British and American English -spelling, pronunciation and vocabulary. We've also practised an interaction where you have to take a particular part, despite not being your own opinion. The topic has been "Censorship" in the news and the internet.

Homework:
Reading Comprehension worksheet. Collocations. "Evictions in Spain" (on Zona de Usuarios).

Please,from now on, check out our Zona de Usuarios from time to time, as I'll be uploading important information about the Official Exams.

See you on Wednesday ;)
