Week 3 25th November - 1st December 2013



Hello, class!

And welcome to the lessons, Selene!

This week we have revised the “past simple” and “past continuous” tenses and have built sentences using “while” and “when” to link two past actions (Remember: “I was having lunch when the telephone rang”, but “I was having lunch while my sister was reading a book”). We have also learned how to express “likes and dislikes” and revised and learn new vocabulary on sports and leisure, as well as learned some phrasal verbs to be used when talking about activities (to take up, to give up, to join in, to get into, to brush up and show off). The students were encouraged to express their opinions and feelings by saying why they like or dislike doing a particular activity.

These are some links you may find useful to revise vocabulary and practise your listening skills:

Vocabulary on sports:


Vocabulary on sports and leisure:


Phrasal verbs:


A little on hobbies (listening):


Remember to write a dialogue using vocabulary on likes and dislikes and leisure activities for next Monday.

Thank you all for your involvement and participation throughout the lesson. You all did really well!

Have a good week!

Week 1 11th - 18th November 2013



Hello!

This first week we have introduced ourselves. We have also explained the PET exam and its characteristics, its different parts and duration. Students have filled in a grammar diagnostic test.

We have revised the “past simple” tense and based the lesson on past events. We have talked about ourselves: what we did, what we studied and our past experiences learning English and other subject matters.

This is a video for you to revise pronunciation (past simple and past participle):


Enjoy your weekend!
