How Long does it Take to Get from...to ...?

Tuesday14^th April

Hi! How are you?

I’m not very happy because last Tuesday’s class was rather disappointing.

Why didn’t you do homework? I can’t believe you didn’t take the time to look in the blog and find the vocabulary you needed to complete your presentation on sports. Besides, there’s a thing called dictionary that you can use when you don’t know a word in English!!!! Yes, I know it’s easier to ask me ‘How do you say…in English?’

So, I expect you to do your presentation on the sport I assigned you for next Tuesday. This time in ‘black and white’ (this means, written on a piece of paper)

For homework, write about the sport written on your card. You must say where the sport is played, the people who take part in it, mention the equipment and say what the game consists of and finally, give your opinion on that sport.

After the disastrous attempt to presentations, we continued talking about ‘How long  it takes to get from London to different cities in Great Britain.

How long does it take to get from London to Dublin by plane? It takes …

15 minutes	¼ h	a quarter of an hour
30 minutes	½	half an hour
45 minutes	¾	Three quarters of an hour
60 minutes	1 h	1 hour
90 minutes	1 ½ h	1 hour and a half
120 minutes	2 h	2 hours
150 minutes	2 ½ h	2 and a half hours
210 minutes	3 ½ h	Three and a half hours

This week we continued talking about sports.

Depending on the sport we use the verbs, Go, Do or Play.

GO	PLAY	DO
windsurfing	rugby	karate
climbing	ice hockey	aerobics
scuba diving	table tennis	gymnastics
swimming	badminton	judo
cycling	squash	yoga

We use Go + ing, except fencing and boxing. We don’t go fencing or go boxing

And we finished the class with a listening.

·         The Tour of France is a cycle race.

·         The Grand Prix is a motor racing championship.

·         The Test Match is a cricket competition.

Don’t forget homework. Apart from the composition (which was last week’s homework), do the exercises on the photocopies I gave you: vocabulary and Winter Olympics.And click here for more practice:Are You a Sporty Person?
