DOING THE WRONG THING!

Wow! It’s 1st April already! Time flies, doesn’t it?
I have just found out that on 15th March people celebrate True Confessions Day. Have you heard about it? Anyway, Let’s read about it and do a quiz.

                                           https://allindiaroundup.com/


Have you ever done something you felt embarrassed about or something you wouldn’t like to tell anyone?
In this video you’ll watch some people making confessions about their childhood naughty behaviour. Watch it and do the quiz.

CLASSWORK 31st March (3A) / 1st April (3B)

CHANGING STYLES

Today we’ll start unit 6, about fashion. 
Do you like fashion? Are you a fashion victim?

Let’s start by revising some vocabulary about clothes with this easy game.
Now, you’re ready to do exercises 1, 2 and 3 on page 63.

There’s a place in London I really like. It’s called Candem Town. There you can find the Candem Market, with over 1,000 shops and stalls selling fashion, music, art and food. Let’s watch this video to learn about it and do the activities below it.

You can write your comments on this blog, where it says ‘comentarios’ below.

A BOOK REVIEW

I guess you’d like to be together and enjoy your free time outdoors soon. But meanwhile we must stay at home, so we can do things we don’t usually have time to do, as reading a book for fun, so it’s a good time to share our reads and find out about our mates’ preferences. Don’t you think?

To start with, you must do some training first, so let’s read the example on page 61 of your student’s book and do exercise 5.

Before doing exercises 6 and 7, let’s revise some more things about adjectives and adverbs.

Now, you know the difference between them and where to place them, you can do the exercises. If you have any doubts, you can contact me.

For more practice you have a good quiz here.

Finally, it’s time to write our review. Read the Writing in Action! box and follow the instructions. You must complete the chart first and use it to write your review. Try to write about 120 words in three paragraphs as in the model. Don’t forget to include adjectives and adverbs to make your writing more interesting.

If you need some help, you can find it here, where there is an explanation and useful language for your review.

Vamos a comprobar se as estás cumprindo respondendo a esta enquisa pensando nos días lectivos (luns a venres, non festivos).

WRITING A BLOG

Do you know what a blog is? Have you ever written a blog?
A blog (from ‘weblog’) is a discussion or informational website published on the web with informal dairy-style text entries, which we called ‘posts’. Just like the one you’re reading right now.

There are many people who write on blogs regularly so that other people may read or comment their posts. This is the case of Lara. Let’s read her blog and do the activities below.

Now try to find all the pronouns you can in the text. Are they subject pronouns or object pronouns? If you can’t remember the difference you can watch this video.

Now let’s have some practice.

Look at how the blog is written. You need to write a tittle, an author, the date and the body. The language you use is informal and you usually appeal to your readers. Why not trying writing a post? You have a layout here to complete about a trip you went on. Write your post and email it to me, please. Pay attention to pronouns!
