How's the weekend going? Last week we had three days of class: Monday, Wednesday and Friday. On Monday we did a short activity to guess the meaning of some jobs (midwife, masseuse, tailor, plumber and trashman) and then we did a listening about some people with some very strange jobs! Then we did an exercise about word-formation with the suffixes -ion, -or, -ant, -er and -ment.
Finally, we listened to three different conversations where people had to apologise, give reasons and finally make a promise: I'm sorry I can't meet you tonight because I have to work, but I'll see you next Saturday. You practised these expressions with Leah on Wednesday.
With her you also talked about safety at work and we corrected the text on page 32, which was a bit difficult for some of you. Finally, we listened to Kevin, who offered Lara a job as an aider. That wasn't very difficult, was it?
On Friday we corrected the review on page 31 and we saw the difference between /s/ and /ʃ/. You didn't have many difficulties, but some of you still confuse /g/ and /d3/. Click here for a "game" where you can practise this difference.We also played a board game to revise units 1-3. To end with, I prepared a video from the BBC about a woman giving advice to visitors in Barcelona. We didn't have time to do the activities, so we'll watch it again and do them on Monday.
For homework:
- Exercises 4 and 5, page 33
- A composition: write an e-mail to a friend giving him/her advice about jobs. Your friend is undecisive and doesn't know what to do with his/her life. Choose one, two or three jobs and tell him about good and bad things about them (Check the first page in portfolio 3 of your workbook).
Deadline: Wednesday 23rd November, 23.59 h
I also gave you two copies to revise units 1 and 2 (Progress Check 1; Progress Check 2). Do them at home and we'll have a look at them on Wednesday.
