Good morning everybody!
I really hope you're recovered from yesterday's class :) Indeed, we had one of those grammar-based lessons everybody hates -included me-, which are at the same time necessary. We had a look at the way we wish, regret and express preferences, using expressions like I wish..., If only..., I'd rather... and I'd prefer... You have the grammar explanation on page 163. We also did a Listening Comprehension on the topic of bullying.
Homework:
Finish Grammar worksheet (I'll upload it tomorrow to our Zona de Usuarios, together with the rest of activities we've done this week).
Fill in the gaps exercise on page 27 ex. 5

Hello!
Yesterday we revised the use of English Pronouns (object, reflexive, reciprocal, there/it...). You can find a brief explanation on page 142. We did both, a Listening and a Reading, of the texts about Roald Dahl (pages 18-19) and briefly explained the difference between "used to" and "would" -when used as Past Tense-, and the rest of the narrative tenses. Then, we put them into practice speaking about habits in the past and anecdotes (page 19).
Homework:
Lexis in Context page 18
Grammar Bank page 143
Tomorrow we'll continue with Unit 2B :) See you then!
