Our Fourth Session (12 November 2014)

Hi folks! You've worked quite hard so far. We could check that correcting our homework.

1- We started speaking about your interests while we practised some eco-questions (do you?/really?/seriously?, etc.). We played a quick game: you had to start asking questions and the last two people left speaking were the winners (fortunately, nobody finished their conversations till I said "time up").

2- We spoke about cultural misunderstandings.

3- We learnt some new vocabulary: dependable, encouraging, generous, jealous, kind-hearted, mean, pleasant, selfish, sulky and upbeat. Keep on practising it!

4- We commented on the first episode of How I met your mother:

  • We created a mind map about weddings and relationships. You can create your own mind map to remember new vocabulary or add more words to this one:

  • We found some synonyms for the word "idiot".
  • Speak out! We pretended that we all were strangers and wanted to start a conversation:
           -Have you met Ted?
           -What do you do?

5- We watched the video "It's all about me: Tom and his family". We practised our listening and speaking, too.

Hope you enjoyed the lesson.

Have a nice week!
