Homework for March 31

Hello my favourite teens,



In our lesson on Thursday we did a lot of speaking practice in using Wh questions and present perfect. We also read some advertisements for part-time jobs for teenagers and we studied present perfect with just and yet.

For next time please finish the worksheet with yet/just and do all exercises from Unit 15.

As on Monday we'll do the Mock test, please revise all Exam Folders in the books (the blue-green pages in between the Units). A good way of improving your reading/listening/writing skills is to do exercises from this page here.

Have a great weekend!
Bye,
S

Homework for March 27

Hello class,



On Monday we looked at different jobs, especially at being a cook (just like the British star Jamie Oliver) and at present perfect in two situations: situations which started in the past but true in the present and recent situations (without a time mentioned).
We covered all exercises from pages 92 and 93.

For homework I gave you two worksheets related to present perfect tense and please also do exercise 15, p. 145.

See you,
Silvia

Homework for March 24

Hi class,

Last time we looked at the differences between I prefer and I'd like (Grammar Extra p. 89).
We talked about how your school is at the moment and how you'd like to change it (Activity p. 89).

We also did some exam practice for Reading Part 3 - p. 90-91 and we played a boardgame using the expressions from everyday conversations. For homework I gave you two worksheets with practice on Reading Part 3.

So we talked a lot about school, subjects and teachers, but can you eat at school? In some English schools, there are dining halls. Have a look what English students have for lunch! Please do the tasks below the text.



Have a grrrreat weekend!

See you on Monday!
