Listen to music and learn English

Hi class, 

If you liked my lesson when we listened to Bruno Mars's song "It will rain", then here's a great link for you: http://www.lyricsgaps.com.

You can listen to your favourite songs, learn the words and practice English at the same time, any time, anywhere.

Just choose the song and then choose your level (beginner, intermediate and advanced). You can challenge your friends with a quiz or just have fun with karaoke. Why not?

Have fun!

Speaking practice lesson

Hi class,

It was great to finally have all 6 of you together in the lesson! Today we learnt about the Speaking paper in the KET exam. You found that there are two parts. Part 1 and Part 2.
Unfortunately the internet didn't work well, so I couldn't show you the videos. You can watch Rex and Nathan here :)   KET Speakin Part 1 and KET Speakin Part 2.

For Thursday please do exercises 2, 3 and 4 from Test 2 Training and from the book at page 61, do exercises 4 and 5 (make questions and write the answers).

PS: for Oriana - please get the "Units 5-8 Revision" page from Nicoletta and do the exercises for next time.

That's all folks,

"Going to" lesson

Hi everyone,

And welcome to class to Oriana and Enrico! :)
In our last lesson we talked about holiday plans and we used going to! Next summer some of you are going to travel to Spain or you are going to visit relatives in Australia.

We also use going to for making a future prediction and we watch a video with South-American students of English.
At the end we did some pronunciation practice.

For next time do exercise 8 (Reading) from the book and from pages 54-55 from the book, please do all the exercises from the Revision Unit. For exercise 1 (Speaking) answer the questions in written.

And the last thing, go the the video we watched in class and write 10 sentences with "going to".

See you all in class,
