Hello guys,
What happened to most of you? I know it’s test week and all that, but you can’t simply vanish like that!
Anyway, the lesson today was fairly different from our usual lessons, huh?! I guess I could talk some people into joining twitter. 
If you don’t know what twitter is, this video will help you:
And after you’ve created your twitter account, you’ll need to find people to follow. Searching in twitter is also explained here:
As we had some responses even from people in Scotland, we didn’t really do much (other than this).
Your homework for our next lesson is the same as it was for today. Make sure you check the previous post!
Oh, and make sure you add me as your friend on Twitter. My username there is hoprea. Look for Splendid Speaking as well.
This is how you are going to post things on the blog.
And you may still write after the video.
Dear students,
Here’s a video on Passive Voice, in case you’d like to revise what we talked about in class.
If you’d like to watch a different video, with different information, check this one out. The accent is also different. The guy is German.
I haven’t got my books on me, but at least I can remember the homework.
- Coursebook: finish the activities on the page with the differences between SAY, TELL, SPEAK and TALK.
See you this FRIDAY, don’t forget it!
Dear students,
Due to some problems with my Internet connection, I couldn’t post this earlier. Sorry!
Here it goes:
- Coursebook: page 68 (Vocabulary 1)
- Coursebook: page 69 (Use of English 1)
- Coursebook: page 70 (Grammar 1)
Enjoy your holiday!
Hello there,
This has taken me longer than I expected, but at least there was enough time for Pedro to pay a visit to the blog!
Homework for next class? Units 1-5 review in the coursebook. It’s right after unit 5 and just before unit 6. Pretty easy to find it, huh?!
Cheers!!!
Dear students,
How did you like the pictures we used in class today? Could you find the photographer’s website?
No ‘official’ homework has been assigned, but I did ask you to do a couple of things, remember? First of all, look up some important verbs and the phrasal verbs formed by them (MAKE, LOOK, GET, TAKE, BRING, COME, and SEE). In addition to that, you may also finish everything you still haven’t done in the Maximiser (unit 5).
This is something we wroked with last semester, but it might give an idea of how phrasal verbs might be tested on the exam.
See you on Wednesday!
Dear students,
Yesterday we watched a video from CNN Student News and worked a bit more on reported speech. Do you want to have another look at it?
And you can find some more tips here:
You can also look for exercises and information on your Dictionary CD-ROM (at least if you have either the Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English or the Longman Exams Dictionary).
At the very end of the class, I showed you a video which had been shown to me by a CAE student. If you liked the video, put your hands together for John Gabriel. Here it is:
Oh, and if you check the comments, you may find something interesting. Such as this one: “Dane Cook carries himself like a douchebag, and his material has nothing to do with anything. He doesn’t have a message or make you think nor does he stand out, he is not unique (unlike Carlin) and isn’t groundbreaking. I hate Dane Cook, and the first time I saw one of his shows I asked myself, “This is supposed to be comedy?”
Do you know Dane Cook? Check him out on You Tube. Do you agree with what this guy said about him?
Homework:
- Coursebook: Pages 61 and 62 (Exam Focus AND Vocabulary 3)
Have a nice weekend!
Howdy guys,
It was really nice being with you again. I’ll try my best to fill Lara’s shoes, ok?!
Homework:
- Coursebook page 60/61 – Grammar 2
See you on Wednesday!!!
