Happy Christmas!

Here you are one of my favourite's this Christmas! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Our Eighth Session (17 December 2014)

First of all, I would like to say sorry again for starting a bit late last Wednesday (we'll make up the time in May).

For those who couldn't make it (no pudisteis venir) I'll tell you what we did:

1- We described our favourite objects and I really enjoyed doing this with you. We'll continue working on this after Christmas. 

2- We explained what a review is. Remember that's a kind of crítica of a book, film, play, etc. Have a look at what I gave you in class and you'll be able to do your own review.

3- We ate popcorn and watched "Love Actually" (I hope you don't hate it now, J.C.) hehe. Remember that I sent you the film and now you can watched it at home with English subtitles.

Well, I wish you a very happy Christmas. I'll see you on the 7th of January.

Don't forget your English! ;)

Our Seventh Session (10 December 2014)

Hi folks, here you are a brief summary about what we did last Wednesday.

1- We corrected the exam we sat the week before. Congratulations! Although it was a pop quiz, you all succeeded: Well done! :)

2- We listened to a listening taken from the Preliminary English Test (PET-B1). I'll send you the listening to practise at home.

3- We asked each other some questions about the listening. Writing the questions was the most difficult part of the task. (You should continue doing it at home).

4- We created our own interview and tried to discover our classmate's hobbies. We were speaking English for more than half an hour. WOW!

Have a nice week and see you on Wednesday.

Our Sixth Session (3 December 2014)

After our week off we came back ready to start speaking English almost like a native speaker! :O

1- We listened to a listening taken from the Preliminary English Test (PET-B1). We found it a bit difficult, but it was fine (it was our first time). The clue to improve our listening is practising, practising and practising (as I'm always saying). PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!

2- We corrected our homework and explained at the same time the Present Perfect Simple and the Past Simple (page 19 of our textbook).

3- We watched again the second part of "Tom and his family": Skateboarding, and did some exercises.

We learnt how to use: this, that, these and those.

4- We learnt different ways to express our feelings about something using these words:

like - love - hate - can't stand (remember that you have to use a noun or a verb-ing after these verbs).

5- We took a very interesting test (at least for me). Are you ready to start Unit 2? We'll see tomorrow.
