Units 4 and 5; Useful links

Hi there!

As they say in English... better late than never! :)

In this entry I leave you with some online activities to revise what we do in class, and also some websites that can especially help you with your listening.

When we came back from Christmas we finished Unit 4, where we talked about films, music and TV. About grammar, we learnt how to use the Present Perfect. Here you have a text about Loch Ness that you have to complete using this this tense. Check it out!

And here you have three tests where you can revise the present perfect:

• Test 1
• Test 2
• Test 3

In Unit 5 we've talked about the future (predictions and plans), and we have learnt how to use will, may, might and be going to. Please, revise all the exercises we have done in class, and also do your workbook. Thank you.

USEFUL LINKS

I wanted to tell you that I have just found a very useful website with videos adapted to our level. Here I leave you the first video of the series. I'm sure you can understand a lot!! And, of course, you can continue with the next videos at home!

If you like learning English with songs, there is a website called www.subingles.com. There you can listen to lots of songs with the lyrics in front of you and, besides, many of them also have online activities! You have different songs classified according to their level of difficulty:

When you click on a song, it starts playing and the website also suggests other subtitled songs by the same artist. You also have the possibility of listening to songs with activities.

And, finally, I leave you with another website called www.esl-lab.com, where you can do lots of different listenings. You can choose the type of activity you want (questions or filling gaps), and you have the transcription as well. Very useful!! :)

I hope you've had a very nice weekend, and I'll see you tomorrow in class!
Ana.

Week 5th - 11th November

Hi everyone!

How was your weekend? I hope you enjoyed it, although the weather wasn't too good!

In this entry I post a summary of what we did last week, and also some extra material you might find interesting.

On Monday we did a little bit of revision and we also started Unit 3 talking about jobs. We did an activity where you had to write a job for every letter of the alphabet. Some letters were a bit difficult, but you almost (casi) completed all the alphabet! :) We also learnt some expressions such as flexible working hours, opportunities for promotion, sick pay, holiday pay, etc. Make sure you learn them!

In this link you can do a listening about working conditions. Listen and do the activity. When you finish, go to the bottom of the page and read the language tips (consejos) for grammar and vocabulary.

On Wednesday we worked with the structures have to/must; don't have to/mustn't and we wrote "A class contract", with rules for the students and also for the teacher. You can do a little quiz here to revise. In the second hour we did the test.

Finally, I post another listening called "What's your ideal date?". Click here to listen to what some people in London answered! You can go to the bottom of the page (el final de la página) to see the answers from more people!



For homework, remember to do the copy about the articles (a(n) / the) and about have (got) to. You also have to correct your composition and give me your final version.

Weeks 30 and 31

Hi everyone!

These two weeks we've done lots of things! Two Mondays ago we talked about crime and murder mysteries, and we also played a conditional game with some difficult questions (make sure you revise the differences between the 1st and the 2nd conditional!)

We've also practised some vocabulary to use when you want to buy something in a shop. About grammar, we've learnt reported speech, and echo questions (I think the domino game was quite successful!! I didn't know you were so competitive! haha).

I collected the marks of your Use of English test, and we did a listening test in class. Make sure you read the questions carefully in the exam, and avoid silly mistakes (evitar fallos tontos).

For homework, I gave you several photocopies to revise the grammar of the third term. As I told you in class, we'll correct the "older" grammar first, and then the "newer" (corregiremos la gramática en el mismo orden que la hemos visto en clase). I know there are a lot of exercises, but I'm sure they'll help you to revise for the exam :)

Well, I hope you all have a nice sunny weekend!

Ana.

Week 29

Hi everyone!

I hope you've had a very nice weekend! :)

Last week we had the test on the book The Last Sherlock Holmes Story. I hope you enjoyed reading it. I personally found it very interesting: it is said that Sherlock Holmes was Jack the Ripper! If you want to learn a bit more about this serial killer, you can watch the film "From Hell" (2001), with Johnny Depp. In original version, of course :)

That day we also did an activity called "Can you think of...?" And you had to think about two things you could swim across, two things you could go through... etc. Make sure you revise those prepositions!!

We also corrected Progress Checks 8 and 9, and the photocopy about Phrasal Verbs. Remember that phrasal verbs are verbs followed by one (sit down) or two particles (put up with). You will learn many phrasal verbs in the next years, so try to write all of them separate, not with your general vocabulary. For every phrasal verb, always include an example.

On Wednesday you practised the structure "used to" with Leah. Remember, it is used to talk about habits in the past, only. For habits in the present we use normally, usually, etc. After that, you did an exercise with just, already and yet. I was surprised to see you didn't remember those words!! Here you have an exercise to practise. You can also check this blog entry (12th December) to revise it.

In my hour, we talked about the passive voice. Here you have some exercises to practise a bit more! First of all, you should practise how you form the passive voice in the present simple, the past simple, the present perfect and in the future with will. Once you know how to form the passive, you need to decide when to use it! Here you have some information about the Statue of Liberty. Try to complete it correctly!

To finish, we also checked the pronunciation of the words in the photocopy about clothes. Remember that in English it is not enough to know how you write a word (spelling). You also need to know how to pronounce it. Otherwise (de no ser así), people will not understand you when you speak!!

For homework, you have to do the activities on Portfolio 10 (workbook) and then write a composition with your opinion about the following sentence: "Our lifestyle is better and healthier today than in the past"

See you tomorrow!

Weeks 27 and 28

Hello everyone!!

I hope your weekend has started well!! Although the weather is miserable... I hope the wind goes away soon! :)

In the last two weeks we've finished Unit 9, where we talked about everyday problems, problems with neighbours, adjectives of feelings, how to make invitations, etc. We also revised how to pronounce -ed at the end of words. Remember the rule:

/t/: PoKaSH FiCHaS

/id/: Te Doy

/d/: the rest

If you want to improve your pronunciation, you have some interesting exercises on this website. You can also check this other link.

On Wednesday we started Unit 10 and we talked about fashion and shopping. We saw some differences between men and women and we also learnt the structure "used to".

(Taken from www.englishgrammarsecrets.com)

If you want to practise a bit more, here you have a variety of exercises:

Exercise 1: matching.

Exercise 2: put the words in the correct order.

Exercise 3: I've also found this exercise which uses a song by Madonna called "This used to be my playground". It's a bit old, but it's good for listening and grammar practice! :)

For homework, please do exercises 2 and 3 on pages 88 and 89, and the copy about the passive. Thank you :)

I hope you have a great weekend!

Ana.

Week 26

Hi everyone!!

Last week we started Unit 9 and we talked about everyday problems. We also learnt the first conditional, which is used to talk about things that are probable to happen:

If + present simple, will. For example: If I have time tonight, we'll go out OR we'll go out if I have time tonight

We saw other words that can be used instead of if, like when, before, after, until and as soon as.

Click here for a basic explanation of the first conditional, and here if you want some more details. And if you want to practise with some online exercises, click here.

Finally, we worked with the infinitive of purpose:

:( I come here for to learn English.:( I come here for learning English.:) I come here to learn English.

If you didn't come to class, here you have an explanation. And here you can practise with an exercise online.

On Wednesday you revised this with Leah and then in my hour we did a "special" listening test. Some of you failed, but the results were not bad at all! :)

After that we corrected the copies about "for, since and ago" and the first conditional. To end with, we listened to the song "The show must go on", by Queen. Thanks, Mª Ángeles, for the activity!


For homework, you had to write a recipe. Here you have a listening from www.mansioningles.com (very good website!!) where Steph talks about cooking. You have three different exercises. Try to do them! :)

Week 25

Hello everyone!

Last week we came back from our Easter holidays. I hope you come full of energy! We only have the last months of the course in front of us!

On Monday you told me about your holidays, and then we talked about the similarities between our nazarenos and the members of the Ku Klux Klan. We read a text that told us that there wasn't any relationship at all between them. After that, we learnt about different Easter traditions in other countries in the world.

KKK vs. Semana Santa

Finally, we talked a little bit about Multiple Intelligence Theory and different learning styles. If you want to listen to the audio again, click here. Below you have the transcription.








Learning Styles TRANSCRIPT



Maybe you can use some of these strategies in your own learning! Apart from the quiz we did in class, you can learn a bit more about what type of learner you are by doing the quiz here. And here you have some ideas to help you studying depending on your type of intelligence (NOTE: Tactile refers to bodily-kinaesthetic). You can apply this to you, and also to your students!

On Wednesday we had one hour with Leah and you talked about the political organisation of the United States. I was surfing the Internet to look for information about that and I found some very curious laws! Below I post a few of them. Believe it or not, they are still in law books today, but some of them are absolutely ridiculous!!! :) - For a whole list, check this link.

IN THE UNITED STATES

In Ohio it is illegal to get a fish drunk.
In Tennessee, it is illegal to drive if you are asleep.
In Indiana, it is illegal to dress Barbie in Ken's clothes.
In Kentucky it is illegal to paint your lawn red. Any other colour is fine.
In Florida unmarried women can be jailed if they parachute on a Sunday.
In Miami, it is illegal to imitate an animal.
In Los Angeles, it is illegal to tell a customer you are really an actor.
In Pennsylvania, it is illegal to put a dollar on a string and pull it away when someone tries to pick it up.

IN THE UNITED KINGDOM

It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament.
A pregnant woman can legally urinate anywhere she wants, including if she requests, in a policeman's hat.
In York it is legal to murder a Scotsman within its ancient city walls but only if he is carrying a bow and arrow.

IN OTHER COUNTRIES

In Toronto in Canada, it is illegal to drive a street car on a Sunday if you have been eating garlic.

In France it is illegal to name a pig Napoleon

In Iceland, it is illegal to blow on lampposts.

In Hong Kong, a woman can kill her husband if he has cheated on her. She must use her bare hand though.

In Samoa, it is illegal to forget your wife's birthday.

On Friday we talked about awkward (strange) social situations: we learnt some expressions to use in different situations and we also watched a video in which a man was in a pretty uncomfortable situation... :P Then there was a powercut/blackout (this is the second time this has happened to us!!), so we corrected some homework.

Two of the exercises were about verbs that were followed by (i) infinitive with to; (ii) infinitive without to and (iii) -ing. Click here for a revision of this and here to do an activity online.

When the light came back, we watched two recipe videos that you have in the entry before! I had planned to do the song with most votes as well, but there was no time. We'll do it today :)

See you later!

Weeks 17 and 18

Good afternoon everyone!

Here you have the summary of the last two weeks (I couldn't update the blog last weekend).

Last week we learnt some personality adjectives and we revised them on Monday, together with (junto con) adjectives to describe physical appearance. Congratulations! You have quite a good memory! :) Then we revised the use and form of the comparative and superlative:

Comparatives and superlatives

View more presentations from Ana Bueno Amaro

Last week we also celebrated Charles Dickens's bicentenary with Leah. We learnt a little bit about his life and remembered some of his most famous novels. After that we continued with your oral presentations. They are all extremely entertaining! :)

This week we have celebrated St. Valentine's watching the film "A good year", starring Russel Crowe. It was beautiful, wasn't it?



















For homework, you need to do:

• Photocopy about comparatives and superlatives.
• Photocopy about friends and family.
• Activities about the film.

Remember that the final version of your composition is for Wednesday.

Have a nice weekend!
Ana.

Week 16

Hello everyone!

Last week we had three days of class (Monday, Wednesday and Friday)

On Monday we corrected one exercise that we had left (que nos quedaba) about be going to (ex 6 page 45) and we listened to two possible pronunciations: /gəʊiŋtə/ and /gᴅnə/. Remember that the second is used when we speak at a natural rhythm in English.

After that we celebrated the School Day For Peace and Non-violence. First of all, we learnt some expressions to make suggestions, requests, offers and to respond to offers (make sure you revise them on page 48 in your books). After that we suggested 4 possible problems you could have in your classrooms and in groups you designed a plan to solve them. Well done! :)



During the break, we had a small tea party and I told you about the typical English Cream Tea. Here you have a picture of a scone which, remember, you fill with butter, marmalade and whipped cream... Yummy!!!

On Wednesday you did an activity about Gandhi with Leah and at the end of the class you played "Telephone"... Some of your sentences were really funny!!

Then we correctd Unit 5C in your books and we did a listening that I collected. The activity you had to do was the same as the first exercise in the December exam.

Finally, Raquel and Rosa did their presentations. Thanks for your effort! :)

On Friday we also had oral presentations, and we also learnt some real English sounds!! Here you have the handout, in case you don't have a copy:
Real English Sounds

Finally, I wanted to tell you that I have just found a very useful website with videos adapted to our level. Here I leave you the first video of the series. I'm sure you can understand a lot!!

Week 15

Good morning everyone!

Last Monday we started with an activity called: "Are you telling the truth'?" You worked in pairs and we learnt interesting vocabulary like: Oh, you're lying! You're not telling the truth, are you?  Some of your stories were really good, and we discovered we had some celebrities in class!

After that, we corrected the photocopy about will and be going to and we learnt the pronunciation of the contracted form 'll. Also, remember the difference between want (ᴅ) and won't (əʊ)

Finally, we listened to the song "Imagine", by John Lennon. Here you have the original version:



On Wednesday you talked about space and the planets with Leah.

Afterwards, we continued with your oral presentations. Again, they were very enjoyable, and I truly appreciate your hard work :) However, please, be careful with the timing. If your presentations are too long, we won't have time for everybody. Remember, 10 minutes maximum.

For homework, remember to do activities 2, 3, and 4 on pages 46 and 47.

See you later today!

For homework, remember to do activities 2, 3, and 4 on pages 46 and 47.

See you later today!
