26th november

we've just started unit 4, which deals with lottery and gambling vocabulary and superstitions among other things. The main grammar point is the past (simple, continuous and perfect). In the links on the right you'll be able to access some grammar pages where you can practise your tenses as well as some interesting web pages which focus on listening and reading skills. Good luck!

17th November

Ben was in class today talking about Thanksgiving and he'll be there tomorrow too. We'll be finishing the unit this week so next week we'll be starting with unit 4, which deals with gambling vocabulary, the pasts and time linkers.
Tomorrow and the day after will be dedicated to the modals in the past: explanation, guided and freer practice. I also plan to watch a video with one of Jamie Oliver's recipes. And on Friday, with my morning group, we'll be doing some pronunciation activities and some speaking practice.
That's all for now!

11th November

Today we've carried on with "homes". We've done a puzzle activity in groups of five. We've also checked the homework on modal verbs and we've done a listening exercise from the book; it's called a Dinner Date and it's at the end of unit 3. I'll be doing the same with my morning group tomorrow.
I've given today the title of the book we'll read this year. It´s the following:

My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell. Dominoes three. Oxford University Press.

second week of november

During this week we are going to deal with the modals of obligation, permission and prohibition. At the same time, we'll carry on working on the Home vocabulary. Here is the presentation that we'll see in class this week. I will set some grammar exercises for homework so that the learning and assimilation of the modals is carried out in a successful way.

Today we have begun Unit 3, which deals with the modals of obligation and permission. The topic is homes. We've talked about our homes but just for an hour because then Ben has taken over. The homework for next lesson is the reading on page 26 and the grammar point (together with the exercises) on page 27
