Homework for the Christmas holidays! :)

Hello everyone,

I hope you are having a great time at home with your family and friends!

Here is a nice video I want you to watch and work on the tasks related, so that you don't forget all your English during the two weeks off. On the right side of the page, under Christmas, you will find other videos (Christmas scene 1&2 + Language Focus). You can watch them as well and do the tasks below.
Also please revise all the units we have studied together from the book.

Happy New Year and have a great beginning of 2015!
See you in January!

Homework for December 18

Hello class,

Next time will be our last lesson for this year, soon holidays are knocking at our doors... Yeepeee!

Today we worked on phrasal verbs, we did some practice on Speaking Part 2 and we watched two Youtube videos of candidates doing the exam.
For next time please do the Writing Part 1 p. 33 (exercises 1-5).

As Christmas is getting near here's a nice text an English girl Emma who lives in France wrote about the English Christmas traditions. Choose 6 new words, look up for them in the dictionary and write about 100 words, comparing the Italian Christmas traditions with Emma's text. Use the new 6 words in your writing.
For example: We don't eat minced pies in Sicily, but we cook scacciata or lasagna for Christmas! :)

PS: for all the students who missed the lesson today, please do Phrasal verbs ex. 1-4 pages 30-31.

That's all for now!

Homework for December 11

Hello class,

I was happy to meet you parents today and learn new things about you! ;) You are lucky to have such wonderful parents! :)

For next time, which is next Thursday (Monday 8th is holiday, hurray!!), please write 5-6 sentences about the time capsule. For Enrico, who missed the lesson, follow the example below, choose six objects in the box and write the sentences.

 Now I'd like to propose you something new: I made a class account and password for a website where you can read ebooks online.

Go to Oxford Owl and click on My Class Login  and type PET TEENS for username and GIGACATANIA for password. Then in the Book Search type Mythical Beasts and click on the book that appears. It's a story inspired by a traditional Viking myth. Read 5 or more pages every week, look up for words in the dictionary, but don't stop too often.

Enjoy your long weekend and see you next week!
Bye,
Silvia
