HELLO EVERYONE. HOW WAS YOUR WEEKEND? RAINY AND GREY, BUT THE RAIN  WAS NECESSARY AND IT´S ALWAYS NICE TO BE AT HOME ON RAINY, GREY DAYS, RIGHT?

WELL, THOSE OF YOU WHO SENT AUDIOS AND THE WRITING EXERCISE DID QUITE A NICE JOB. THE BIGGEST  ERRORS  I FIND IN ALL ARE WORD FORMS. THIS IS WHY I INSIST THAT YOU KEEP A PAGE IN YOUR NOTEBOOKS LIKE THIS:

VERB                   NOUN                                      ADJECTIVE             ADVERB
TO RISK              RISK/RISKINESS                    RISKY                        RISKILY   
-----                      COURAGE                                COURAGEOUS        COURAGEOUSLY
                             LUCK                                        LUCKY                      LUCKILY
                             STRENGTH                              STRONG                   STRONGLY
                             CALMNESS/CALM                 CALM                        CALMLY
ETC...

THIS WILL HELP YOU TO USE WORDS CORRECTLY IN SENTENCES AND NOT SAY, FOR EXAMPLE, "THEY HAVE A VERY RISK JOB, "  WHEN IT SHOULD BE, "THEY HAVE A VERY RISKY JOB."

THE SECOND BIGGEST ERROR IS SUBJECT-VERB AGREEMENT. LOTS OF MISTAKES LIKE, "TEACHERS HAS......"  OR , "THERE IS MANY JOBS THAT....." :-(

AND THIRDLY, THE WRONG USE OF ARTICLES. BE CAREFUL WITH "I THINK THE DOCTORS WORK.....  " WHEN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT ALL DOCTORS, TEACHERS, FIREFIGHTERS, ETC. IF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT A SPECIFIC GROUP, YOU WOULD USE ´THE´.  "THE DOCTORS IN ARGENTINA ARE NOW REWARDED AS THEY SHOULD BE."

PLEASE LISTEN TO YOUR OWN AUDIOS!! LISTEN AND LISTEN AGAIN. FIND YOUR OWN ERRORS. THIS IS A VERY GOOD EXERCISE FOR YOU!

___________________________________________________________________________

PLEASE GO TO PAGE 28. WE ARE CONTINUING WITH THE VERY RELEVANT TOPIC OF  HEROES, STILL. PLEASE  THINK ABOUT THE DISCUSSION QUESTIONS IN A, READ THE PARAGRAPHS, FIRST QUICKLY FOR GIST, AND AGAIN MORE SLOWLY. DECIDE WHICH HEADING ABOVE IS MOST SUITABLE FOR  AN INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH OF THE WHOLE TEXT.


(YOU SHOULD HAVE ANSWERED, B, BECAUSE IT THE HEROES ARE ALL COMMON PEOPLE WHO PERFORM  THE HEROIC ACTS.

DO EXERCISE C AND D ON PAGE 29. USE YOUR DICTIONARIES, IF NECESSARY.

PLEASE, GO ON TO VOCABUARY. CHANGE THE NOUNS INTO ADJECTIVES. (I PUT SOME OF THEM ABOVE IN THE LIST.) THIS IS DICTIONARY WORK. TAKE THE TIME TO USE YOUR DICTIONARIES OR PHONES FOR THIS.

AND DO EXERCISE B.

SIMILES, EXERCISE 2. A SIMILE IS A PHRASE THAT USES LIKE OR AS TO  MAKE COMPARISONS. THEY´RE EASY AND FUN.

EXAMPLES:  AS IN EXERCISE, 2B:

AS LIGHT AS A FEATHER

AS QUIET AS A MOUSE

AS GOOD AS GOLD

AS FREE AS A BIRD

AS WHITE AS A SHEET

AS HUNGRY AS A WOLF

AS QUICK AS LIGHTNING

AS BUSY AS A BEE.

DO EXERCISE 1B.

EXERCISE 3 IS VOCABULARY RELATED TO NATURAL DISASTERS. EASY! (EASY AS PIE! THAT´S ANOTHER SIMILE!)

WORKBOOK: PAGES, 16 C, (WRITING) AND 2b, EX, A (VOCABULARY)  PAGES 16 AND 17. (NOT GRAMMAR YET)
