The Olympic Games

Tuesday 21^st April

Hi everyone! How’s it going?

I hope you are ok. Cheer up! We are nearly in May and the summer is arriving. Come on! Make a last effort to finish the school year!

What did we do in our last lesson?

We went on (continued) talking about Olympic Games.

We started by checking the vocabulary on Winter Olympics.

Do you remember these words?

Torch and flame – stick and puck – curling – bobsleigh – biathlon – Nordic combined- luge?

And what about these ones?

Saddle – venue – helmet- crew- wrestler- canoe – pool – goggles – court – clubs – net – rink -

Are they people, places or equipment? Sometimes a word has more than one meaning and can be two things. For example, club. Do you remember the two meanings? Can you write both definitions either on the blog or in your notebook?

We practiced the vocabulary playing a game in pairs. A team wrote a definition and the other teams had to guess the word.




Then, we watched a couple of videos. One of them compared the Ancient Olympics with the Modern Olympic Games. You took some notes and after that we made the comparisons.

Remember how we use comparative adjectives in English.

In the second video we listened to some students telling us about a sport. This is what I intended (wanted) you to have done last week. Watch it again and pay attention to how they describe that sport. Remember you can play it subtitled in English.

And… that was it!

Don’t forget to do homework. It’s the reading and the exercise on the photocopy I gave you. I explained the glossary in class but if you don’t understand a word, use a dictionary (not a translator).
