Dear students,

We spent the class today correcting our Use of English mock test. I think it was fruitful, what about you?

This means that, for our next class, apart from doing what had been assigned as homework for today, you’ll also have to do:

- Exam Maximiser: pages 54, 55, 56 (the exercise ends on page 57).

Cheers!

Cheers!

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!

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!
