CLASS 12
Monday, 27/4

GOOD MORNING OR AFTERNOON TO YOU ALL! HOW WAS YOUR WEEKEND? I HOPE YOU ARE ALL WELL, BOTH PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY. 

In your last class, you did the reading exercises on page 66  and then you looked at page 67 and reviewed activities that we may do in our free time. Then you (should have) listened to the audio about how much time the speaker spends on those activities. Would you be able to explain to me the same information if I asked you? Well, this is your objective here, being able to write/tell about it. 

Then you looked at more verbs which combine with others that take either the -ing  or infinitive form. I know you hate these, but actually, you have learned more than you think you have. 

I gave you the answers to Grammar. Here are the answers to ex. 5:

1. doing
2. to do
3. doing
4. doing
5. to do 
6. to go

Go on to page 68, Reading. This section is about your preferences with regards to books, movies or plays.  Read through the exercises 7a and b and think about your own opinions. Again, would you be able to tell me them?

Next, please read the reviews of a play, a book and a film. Lots of vocabulary here, so take your time. You will notice that a lot of words and phrases are highlighted (en negrita). You will use this vocabulary in your Vocabulary section.

I´ll send you the answers to the vocab. section today via Whatsapp. 

I´ll also send you an audio for pronuciation., ex 10.

Exercise 11, you need to be able to explain to me about a book, movie or play that you read or saw. 

When you have finished, please do your workbook, 5,2.  

Here´s the listening.

Inglés Nivel 8 Clase 10 Villa Mercedes

CLASS 10

   

 HELLO EVERYONE, HOW ARE YOU ALL? DID YOU HAVE A NICE WEEKEND?
I am sending by Whatsapp the answers to page 65, exercises 7 and 9. 

Here are  more exercises to practice present perfect simple and present perfect continuous.

Click on the link:

https://www.perfect-english-grammar.com/present-perfect-present-perfect-continuous-1.html

Next, please do page 66, Reading,  Three ways to become more creative. Please read ex. 10 and think about the questions. Go on to ex. 11 and put the paragraph headings where they should go in the text.  Answer the questions in ex. 12. 

The idea here is to read and understand the text and of course the vocabulary, and  analyse the grammar. (To tell you the truth, I  didn´t understand the point of it, personally! Hahahaha! But, maybe you will! Anyway, any text is helpful from the English learning point of view.) 

Now, you can go ahead and do the workbook, 5.1. I´ll send you the answers later.

See you! :-) 

Inglés Nivel 8 Clase 9 Villa Mercedes

CLASS 9

HI EVERYONE!

After looking at page 64 in your last class, and having listened to the audios and learned the vocabulary, I would like you to send me a short audio on Whatsapp and describe to me one or two of the paintings shown. Use the How to box to help you. Also, I´d like you to tell me what you think is meant  by "creative," as asked in exercise 4.What is creativity for you? Ok? Just a short audio on Whatsapp, either privately or on the group. If you put it on the group, perhaps your companions can agree or disagree with you and give reasons. 

The answers to exercise 5, Listening are:

1. Mike agrees with the first definition, Tom with the third and Ruth, with the second. 

2.      1) Tom     2) Mike     3) Ruth     4) Tom     5) Mike 

Next, I´d like you to direct your attention to the Grammar, exercise 6b in the active grammar box. We are looking at: 

Present Perfect Simple: (Ex. I have seen that movie.) and

Present Perfect Continuous: (Ex. I have been waiting here for two hours)

Sentence 1 corresponds to rule C

Sentence 2 corresponds to rule A

Sentence 3 corresponds to rule B

Here is an excellent video which explains it from the beginning. Please watch it patiently.

This should help you with exercise 7. Please do it now. Skip exercise 8 and do exercise 9a and b. Send it to me in a Word document and I´ll check it for you.

That´s enough for today. Don´t do workbook, yet. Take your time with these exercises.

Bye bye!
