Avanzado 1 Z, Tuesday 12th January

Hi!
today we have revised the expression should have + past participle to make criticism about a past action or event, and we have corrected page 36 from the workbook. Afterwards, we have talked about the new anti-smoking law in Spain, and you have stated different for and against ideas. Subsequently, I have handed two photocopies on how to write a for and against essay, with some ideas, pieces of advice, useful expressions and an exercise that we have done and corrected in class. You have to write a composition on the topic: celebrities running for public office. If you prefer to talk about the anti-smoking law or the quota system, two other topics that we have discussed in class, it is also possible.
Finally, and as an introduction to the lesson 6D, we have mentioned some examples of discrimination (racism, sexism, ageism...)
See you on Thursday!
