WEEK 12 3rd - 9th March 2014

Hello students,

How are you? 

Today we have seen some new traveling compounds and also “normal” adjective with extreme ones:

Hot-boiling

Big-enormous, gigantic

Nice-delicious

Small-tiny

Tired-exhausted

Cold-freezing

Bad-awful

Dirty-filthy

Old-ancient

And some more, then we had the opposites, just to review some vocabulary.

We corrected homework: rephrasing sentences with comparatives. We stopped at the structure: the more you pay attention in class, the more you should learn. We will see this structure next class.

Then, we have a test to review what we have learned through last month, in February and also I wanted to make sure you went through all we have seen in class.

We have started a new lesson: “learning a foreign language” we talked about “why it is important to learn a foreign language?” and we have seen how to express purpose through an infinitive: “You learn a language to communicate with others.”

We had some examples with /-t/, /-d/ and /-id/ in past simple. We pronounced some regular verbs and you will have some exercises to practise: 

FIRST EXERCISE.

Place these verbs in the right column and bring it to next class:

helped, stuffed, laughed, missed, fished, marched, objected, looked, fixed, diced, stayed, grabbed, exited, hugged, saved, oozed, pleased, lied, freed, honored, peeled, signed, resumed, breathed, massaged, decided, tasted,

/-t/,                                                            /-d/                                                              /-id/

SECOND EXERCISE.

Record yourself in your mobile phone. The topic today is your everyday life in past to practise the regular endings.
