WEEK 8 3rd - 9th February 2014

Hello students,
How are you?

It has been my first class in Learn & Enjoy. I´m glad to have met you all. You did it well. I´m happy all of you tried your best and hope you will go on trying. We have lots and lots of new things to do in class!!!

Today we have reviewed how to make sentences given an open or closed answer. This has helped to know more things about your new teacher!!! Don´t worry, next day it will be your turn.

We have learnt a new structure : how does it take you to ....? which we have practised with different tenses. Then we have had a look at the mind map about travelling. Great work!!! you did it well!!! We went through a lot of vocabulary, some you already know some the first time you come across. We also make questions about travelling, next day we will go on making and answering questions about this subject.

I was curious about your staying in Ireland and you told me lots of interesting things you did during your summer in Dublin!

We also talked about the Trinity exam, remember it's 10 minutes with an English-speaker examiner, 5 minutes you have to develop a speech and the other 5 minutes the examiner will ask you questions about 2 topics out of 6 possible topics you have in this level.  I´m going to post an interview for this level C6:

Pay special attention to the way she interacts with the examiner (he´s  very encouraging, helping her to talk) and she is really fluent and accurate when using grammar and her pronunciation is really good. Which questions does he make?

In the C6 Trinity exam the topics are: travel, money, fashion, rules & regulations, health & fitness, learning a foreign language.

We also had a quick review of comparisons and superlatives. And we have a game for next class about comparisons.

You have some homework to do: exercises 3 and 4 and watch the following video:

a. The Oz-Bus tour lasts two months.
b. The travelers are aged 18 to 60.
c. The participants of the tour only travel by coach.
d. The participants can make lifelong friends during the journey.

Ok students. Hope you enjoy the videos. See you on Monday, have a nice week!!!
