Hello everyone!! Hope you have enjoyed and learnt by doing some research and presenting information about the Geographical aspects of the UK.
Today I want to start doing some revision of a grammar topic that we have covered but I think that we still need further practice.

PASSIVE VOICE 

I will do a quick revision of the uses and construction of sentences in the passive voice before starting with some written practice. 

Now that you understood the instances in which it´s better to use the Passive Voice, we will see how we construct sentences in "Present Simple" and "Simple Past" from the Active to the Passive voice 👉

                           ACTIVE VOICE  ↬  1.   We                     took         the passengers     to hospital
                                                            2.  The postman    delivers          letters               everyday
                                                                        ⇩                      ⇩                      ⇩
                                                           
                                                                    Subject     ⍆    Verb        ⍆     Object

                           PASSIVE VOICE↬  1.The passangers      were taken     to hospital   by us 
                                                           2. Letters                    are delivered                     by the postman everyday
                                                                      ⇩                             ⇩                                  ⇩

                                                                 Subject      ⍆  Verb  To Be  ⍆   Past participle of the main verb ⍆  by 
                                                          (now the object 
                                                           of the sentence
                                                           in the A.V)
Activity 1:  GRAMMAR ⇒Turn the following sentences into the Passive Voice, bearing in mind the explanation given.

...Now. let´s start Unit 6C!  💬  What can you see in the pictures below?

Places of entertainment, right? 

Activity 2:  SPEAKING ⇒ 💬 Which of these places of entertainment do you like? Why?
                                          💬 How often do you go there?
                                          💬 Who do you go with?
                                          💬 Are there many places like these in your city? 
                                         💬 What´s the most popular with people of your age?
You are going to answer  the questions, attaching a voice note to your work.

We are going to listen now to four people talking about places of entertainment.

Activity 3:  LISTENING ⇒ Go to page 80 of the SB, and complete ex. 2 B & C. 

 
Link to the audio: 
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1gj5bTpoExRBzKekG0Kdt7nIZWyY0EMhl




















To finish, you are going to write about "Your favourite place of Entertainment". But before let´s read an example on page 81 and analyse it.

As you see, the writer is saying why he/she likes this place by giving information about the experience he/she ususally has there and an anecdote.
Activity 4:  WRITING  ⇒ You are going to write a paragraph of 12 lines about "Your favourite place of Entertainment". Keep in mind the following tips when writing! Use as many adjectives and expressions of preferences as possible.

Class nº 8: 14/04

Hello students! 

Well, remember that last class we learnt some vocabulary and expressions about SPORTS. Today we will start doing a speaking activity about this topic to practice the vocabulary.

Activity 1: SPEAKING ⇒  Attach to your work a voice message answering the following quiz about "Sports".

💬 Have you ever practised an extreme sport?  Does the idea of an extreme sports holiday appeal to you?
If so, let´s read a brochure about an extreme sports holiday in Mexico!!

Open your student´s books on page 78.

Activity 2:  READING ⇒ Read carefully the text and then to check comprehension complete the postcard in exercise C, with information from the text. 
Then, complete ex. D on page 79 with words or phrases from the text. 

💬 Would you like to do any of the activities mentioned in the brochure? Which one and why?

...I will take a sentence from the text and you will help me to analyse it.

"If you wake up early, you will be able to swim with the sharks before breakfast!"

If you see, the sentences starts with the word IF. This connector is indicating a condition for another action to happen. So:

If you wake up (condition) - you will be able to swim... (result) This is a

                                                   "Conditional Sentence type 1" 

When do we use them?     To talk about possibilities in the present or future.

Which is the structure?   If ⍆ verb in the Present Simple form  ⍆ Simple Future (Will / Won´t & bare infinitive)
                                                                                                            Modal Verbs (may, might, can, must, should)
                                                                   If -Clause   ⍆ Main clause   

Examples: 

💣 Important! 
1-  The sentence can start with the if-clause or the main clause and the meaning of it will be the same.  Example:                                      If it rains, I will stay at home or I will stay at home, if it rains 
2- When the If-clause comes before the main clause, the two clauses are separated by a comma. 

Activity 3: GRAMMAR ⇒ to practice this new grammar topic, you will work on the following activity.

Activity 4:  LISTENING  ⇒ To finish our lesson about Sports, you will work on the song: We are the Champions!

Class nº 6:  02/04

Hi everyone!  First I want to congratulate you for the good job you did last class.                                                Today we will start Unit 5d.Let´s go to page 69 ex. 5.  Can you read the newspaper headlines?  

   

💬  Have you ever heard or been in any of these serious situation?

Speaking ⇒ Tell me about the story (remember to send me a voice message).


Now, let´s analyse this headline:  "Many injured in a bus accident"

I have underlined the word "injured". Do you know the meaning? What´s the difference with the verb "damage" in the headline "Storm destroys 20 houses?

To understand the difference, you will go to exercise 2.

Activity 2:  Study carefully the difference between these easily confused words by analysing the examples given.  The terms you will study are:

💢  damaged vs. injured
💢  survive vs. rescue
💢  look vs. watch vs. notice

Once the difference is clear to you, you will write 6 sentences using a different term in each of them. 

   


Activity 3: READING  ⇒  Let´s read now about a serious accident.

On page 68 of the student´s book, there is a newspaper article. Take your time to read it in silence and then complete exercise C (read the sentences and write T, F or NM for not mentioned). 
















I will take a sentence from the article:  " The inured passangers were taken  to local hospitals"  

💬What do you notice in the verb? Is the verb in any of the tenses you know? Is it past continous? No! 

This sentence is in the PASSIVE VOICE. What does it mean?  We normally read sentences that are in the           ACTIVE VOICE  
                               ⇲   "Somebody took the injured passangers to local hospitals"  (this would be the sentence I took from the text but in the active voice, which is the voice normally chosen by speakers or writers to communicate)

💬 Now, why is the passive voice chosen in the newspaper article?  The answer is because we don´t know who performed the act of taking the passangers to local hospitals. It´s more important the fact that THE PASSANGERS were taken than WHO took them.

Let´s analyse the uses of  "PASSIVE VOICE" 

Now that you understood when it´s better to use the Passive Voice, we will see how we construct sentences in "Present Simple" and "Simple Past" from the Active to the Passive voice 👉

                           ACTIVE VOICE  ↬  1.   We                     took         the passengers     to hospital
                                                            2.  The postman    delivers          letters               everyday
                                                                        ⇩                      ⇩                      ⇩
                                                           
                                                                    Subject     ⍆    Verb        ⍆     Object

                           PASSIVE VOICE↬  1.The passangers      were taken     to hospital   by us 
                                                           2. Letters                    are delivered                     by the postman everyday
                                                                      ⇩                             ⇩                                  ⇩
                                                                 Subject       ⍆  Verb  To Be  ⍆   Past participle of the main verb ⍆  by 
                                                           
Activity 4:  GRAMMAR ⇒ To practice this grammar topic you will complete page 49 of the Workbook.

Activity 5:  WRITING ⇒  You have read and talked about serious stories. Now, go to the student´s book,page 71. Have you ever done anything embarrassing? Read the story written in ex. 4. This time, you will think about an embarrassing experience you have had and write it. Follow the writing tips given   

                                                                                       ⇓
