Good afternoon,
yesterday we continued talking about education, in particular, about online and face-to-face education. We did a reading task on this topic. The end of the class was devoted to one of the most controversial grammar topics: the use of definite, indefinite and zero article. I'm going to try and send you a summary handout because we didn't have time to cover all points.
Homework:
Study for your exams!!!
See you on Monday at 6.45pm!

Good morning,
Yesterday we were talking about studying abroad and about education in general. As I was feeling a bit fluey, you virtually made the whole class, which I thank you for :) We did some speaking practice, -monologue and interaction; and, at the end of the class, we watched a documentary about Edication in Finland. As I told you yesterday, I just sent you -via Zona de Usuarios- some docs with extra-vocabulary and information about the topic of Education.
Homework:
Read texts p. 65 and do ex. 4-5 p. 64
I really hope I'm feeling better tomorrow and we can do a normal class before the exam period. Thank you for your undestanding!
