Homework for Dec 12

Hi class,

Today we did some Listening practice (part 4&5), after we revised numbers, dates and the alphabet. Please revise them even at home, because their are so important in the Listening and not only!

We started Unit 7 today by speaking about our oldest/newest piece of clothing and we read 3 texts about the Converse boots, the baseball cap and the t-shirt.

We also worked on present & past continuous for expressing temporary actions.
Nicoletta and Miriam, since you missed the lesson, please study on your own lesson 7.1. Next time we will practise more using present & past continuous.

Here's an example:

Present continuous:  Helen usually wears jeans, but today she's wearing a beautiful red dress - it's her birthday. (temporary - only for today)

Past continuous: In the 1940's and 1950's men were wearing suits on the street every day. (temporary, from the 60's - present stopped wearing suits every day).

Your homework for next time is:

• watch the video about the jetski champ, from my last post, and write down new vocabulary.
• exercises 2,3 and 4 from the fotocopy I gave you today.
• exercise 8 from the book, p. 45.

See on Thursday,

Homework for Dec 10

Hi everyone,

In our last lesson we basically finished Unit 6 about "Hobbies and leisure". In class I gave you as homework exercices 1, 2 and 3 from the photocopies given to you.

I found an interesting video for you, about a teenager called Jack who loves jetskiing. He's only 14 years-old and he became the UK Freestyle champion! Watch the video to discover this sport and Jack's story!

Watch the video, do the tasks and write down new vocabulary from the text, such as: it isn't his thing, adrenaline rush, sketchy etc. Look for them in the dictionary. I will ask you about them in class.

Have a good weekend!

Books and the Magic of Books

Hello class,

This year we started our series of books with "The Walkabout", the story of two American children who survive a plane crash and who are helped by an Australian aboriginal boy. This encounter changes their lives forever.
Books are magical! Do you like books? Who did first introduce you to books?

Here is a video of a young man who thanks his grandma for introducing him to the wonderful world of books.
Look at the video and do the tasks below. In case you need help, look at the TRANSCRIPT.

Then go to www.joyofreading.in and look at some videos in the Gallery.

Enjoy,
Silvia
