Intermedio1, Wednesday 18th

Hi!
Today we have begun new unit, it's unit 11, about personal possessions. We have spoken about your essential personal possessions, we have done the listening on page 106, plus exercises 1, 2 and 3. After that, I have explained the grammar from page 107, infinitive of purpose and we have done exercises 1, 2.
Finally, we have talked about the strategies you can use when you are talking (especially in the speaking exam) if you can't remember a word. For example, giving a similar word, trying to define the word, explaining what we use this thing for, giving an example or situation in which we can use this thing... We have practiced this with the functional language, exercise 1, page 107, and with the exercise 11A on page 126 to speak in pairs and try to explain these words. After explaining these objects I have given you their names:
incienso- incense. Palito de incienso- joss stick
caja para CD- CD case
candelabro- candelabra
auriculares- headphones/ earphones (los del dibujo, los que van metidos en la oreja)
funda para el móvil- mobile bag/ cover

Atención, chic@s de Avanzado 1 Y (16h)

Holaaa
Como en el grupo de avanzado de las cuatro de la tarde somos poquitos y hemos acabado los orales, estuvimos hablando sobre dar clase el jueves o no. Algunos preferíais relajaros y otros venir, así que hemos decidido hacer "clase informal" ese jueves (12 de Febrero), es decir, que venga el que quiera y hacemos algo de speaking (we can have a cup of coffee or whatever...)
See you then! If you don´t want to come, it is up to you :-)
