Tuesday 2nd June
Hi guys!
How’s everybody? Busy? Yeah, I can imagine.
There’s so little for the course to finish and there are so
many things to do…
…exams, shows, theatre plays…
It seems that the
reason why Gonzalo didn’t come to
class was exams. On the other hand, Alicia was acting in a play…and that’s
why Sara left earlier. Because
she wanted to attend the play. Yes, these first days of June are a bit of a
mess!
First of all, I want to
congratulate Lucía on making the video for our project. IT’S GREAT! THANK YOU
VERY MUCH IN THE NAME OF ALL THE CLASS.
And talking about the rest of the class, what
about your work on
the project? If you have a look on the previous blog, and as I told
you in class, we distributed the roles. Everybody had to explain a different
stage of the project!
We started the class with a communication
activity to review prepositions of movement.
We continued revising present perfect to talk
about general experiences.
We use “Have you ever…?” because they are
general experiences and we don’t ask or say “when” we had them.
·
Have you ever found any money in the street?
·
Have you ever won a prize?
·
Have you ever asked anybody famous for their autograph?
·
Have you ever forgotten an important date?
We found
out (discovered) that Lucía won a gold medal in a gymnastics
competition.
Remember the use of
already, just, yet with present perfect.
Already and yet have the same meaning, but
their position in the sentence is different. Yet, goes at the end of the sentence whilst already
has a mid-position, that is, it goes before the main verb – the same position
as adverbs of frequency.
Study these sentences:
·
? Have you finished the exercise yet?
·
- I haven’t finished yet.
·
+ I’ve already finished.
·
The structure, to have
+ just + participle refers to an action that has been completed a
short time ago.
I’ve just arrived home. (Right now. A short time ago)
Try this exercise Still/ Already/ Yet/Just
I’ve just arrived home. (Right now. A short time ago)
Try this exercise Still/ Already/ Yet/Just
Don’t forget to revise comparative and superlative adjectives and will /
won’t to talk about the future, for the test.
Test contents:
Listening –
grammar exercises (present perfect, already, yet – comparatives – will / won’t)
– reading – writing – speaking.
Vocabulary
related to celebrations and festivities.
For practice reread
the compositions and readings we have done in class.
And to finish the class, We played a board game called “Around the world
in 100 days!” no, not this.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The game consisted in throwing the dice and
following the instructions we had on the square we had landed. Sometimes we had
to make decisions, sometimes we didn’t. For example, you land in Berlin: “You’ve forgotten your traveller’s cheques! Go back to London and get
them! So, you had to go back until
the ‘London square’. Delhi: “you’ve started to feel
ill, what do you do? a) Go straight to the doctor. b) Stay in your hotel room
and wait. c) Push on with your journey.
One of the answers made you lose no time, another one
meant to add four days to your journey time and another one made you add seven
days.
Did you make the right choice? Did
you consider the advantages and
disadvantages of going to a doctor in India, keeping travelling despite
your illness, going to an Indian hospital…?
The winner was the team who got to the end of
the journey, that is, who got to the finish square making the journey in the fewer days. Lucía and Guille won although none of you were able to finish
in 100 days! They made the journey in
111 days!
I hope Alicia’s play was a success! (very good) I also hope that Gonzalo passes his exams. And
please, revise a little for our assessment test.
See you next Tuesday!
