Let's Guess the Word! Let's Compare! Let's Rrehearse!

Tuesday 27^th May

Hello Everybody!

We started the class checking homework.

The ones who did it had some points! Sorry for the rest, but you had to do your homework!

After that, we played a game based on definitions. We have to ask and answer questions so as to guess the word written on the card you had picked out (selected)

You had to make a sentence, for example:

You usually do this in summer.

·           Is it a sport?

·           Do you do it with your family?

·           Do you need some transport? A car, a train etc.?

·           Do you go to the beach?

·           Is it travelling?

·           Is it when you finish school?

·           Can you stay in a hotel?

Is it ‘going on holiday’? Yes, it is!

 And so on…

We started the last lesson in our planning. It is about comparative of adjectives.

Marcos is tall. Sergio is taller.

Marcos is shorter than Sergio.

And you compared different places and gave me their opinions.

London is more expensive than Madrid.

Madrid is bigger than Barcelona.

A river is smaller than the ocean.

The sea is wider than a river.

A hill is lower than a mountain.

The ocean is more dangerous than a stream.

Cities are dirtier than the country.

A mountain is more beautiful than a valley.

Remember:		ADJECTIVE	COMPARATIVE
1-Syllable		hot long	hotter longer
2 -syllable ended in “y”		dirty	dirtier
	REST OF ADJECTIVES
1-syllable not ended in “y”		violent	more violent
More than  2- syllable adj.		expensive	more expensive
		IRREGULAR
		good	better
		bad	worse

Practise comparatives in here :

Enjoy these exercises!

We wrote questions about clothes for our ‘Trivia Game’

For homework, write five sentences using comparative adjectives!

And we rehearsed our theatre play.

Although I don’t know who is going to perform; because César and Sergio said that they aren’t going to be here on 24^th or 26^th of June. Paula, Jorge, what about you?

Please confirm attendance!!!!

Clothes: Cardigan, Wellies, Balaclava

Tuesday 20^th May

Hello Everybody!

Are you enjoying your weekend? 

What did we do in class? We finished talking about shopping.

 We listened to Chloe, Ellen and Mathis. They told us where they prefer shopping and why.

Mathis prefers shopping on the net because there’s more variety. Ellen prefers the shops in the high Street because the shop assistants are friendlier and they chat with you. Chloe doesn’t like buying clothes in the street market or on the net because she can’t try them on.

What about you?

Where do you prefer shopping? In the High street shops, in the street market, on the internet, in shopping centres? What things do you like shopping in each place?

I usually buy clothes from the high street because they’re good quality.

To finish the topic of shopping, we focused on clothes.

We did an exercise on vocabulary related to clothes. Can you tell me which clothes do you wear…

… on your top half? …on your bottom half? …on your top and bottom half? ... on your feet?

Anorak, tights, trousers, coat, vest, jacket, suit, tie, shorts, dress, stockings, trainers, jumper, shoes, boots, sweater, shirt, T-shirt, sandals.

We read about clothes with a tradition.

·         Do you know what a ‘balaclava’ is? It’s a woollen hat.

·         Did you know where it got its name from? From the battle of Balaclava, in the Crimea war.

·         What did you know about ‘wellies’? Not much; but now you know that they are the traditional rubber boots that we wear when it rains. And that they are named after (had their name from) Wellington, a British soldier.

·         What’s a ‘cardigan’? It’s   a short woollen coat with buttons. It got its name after another British soldier, Lord Cardigan.

And we finished the class with a rehearsal for our play: ‘Island for Sale’

We still have to improve some little things, but your performance was very good! Well done! Now, try to memorize your parts of the play.

Anyway, I hope you tell me who will be able to attend our end of course show. Please bring back the notices (pieces of paper) we gave you to let us know which of you we can count on!

Homework: find three photos or make three pictures of people and describe the clothes they’re wearing.

Shopping and a Theatre Play

Tuesday 13th May

Hello! How are things?

What did we do in our last class?

Well, we learnt the differences among several shopping places.

                   

·            Supermarket: is a place where you can buy different products: food, cleaning products, toiletries etc.

·            Street market: is a place where you can buy food and clothes. It’s in the street and the sellers use stalls to sell their products.

·            High street shops: different types of shops in the main street of towns or cities.

·            Department store: a big shop that has different floors (departments). They sell different products on each floor. E.g. “El Corte Inglés” “Harrods”etc.

·             Shopping centre (shopping mall – in American English): it’s a big place with lots of different shops inside. E.g. “Plaza Norte”, “Parquesur”

We revised vocabulary on clothes.

·            Can you tell me some clothes we wear on our top half?

·            On our bottom half?

·            On top and bottom half?
