GROUP 1: VANCOUVER

This week, our 2nd Bachillerato Students have practiced a VERY RELEVANT TOPIC with this mock exam: ELDERLY SPANISH COULD SLEEP IN PARK AFTER BEING EVICTED

We read aloud the text in class analysing the different words students may find difficult to translate but thanks to context, they easily knew the meaning of the words:
-WHEREABOUTS/ EVICTED/ MORTGAGE/ 

WRITING TASK:  IN OUR OPINION, WHAT ARE THE MOST SERIOUS SOCIAL PROBLEMS TODAY?

READY TO START YOUR WRITING?

In unit 4, we are focusing on vocabulary related to Description to talk about people both physically and their personality. Our students will do their best writing a description with great vocabulary.

Today, we practiced new words to describe hair, face, skin, as well as general appearance. Do you know some scruffy person in your family? Or maybe....all your relatives are tidy-looking?

 REMEMBER THE SUFFIX -ISH!!!!

-ish is added to adjectives to form adjectives which indicate that someone or something has a quality to a small extent. For example, something that is largish is fairly large.

She is tallish, brown-haired, and clear-skinned.

With her was a youngish man in a dinner jacket.

...a tank of greenish water.

WRITE A DESCRIPTION OF A FRIEND/RELATIVE USING SUITABLE VOCABULARY, TRY TO BE ORIGINAL AND FOLLOW A CLEAR STRUCTURE

The end of UNIT 4 is near.... Are you ready to talk and write about "an usual experience"?
What was your most unusual experience? What did you do? What really happened? Who was/were with you? How did you feel?

Remember to use the Past Simple Tense + Appropiate Connectors to explain our your experience.

Apart from all these connectors, we wrote on the blackboard these ones:

- Suddenly

- Eventually...

-Luckily...

Now, it's your turn to show how pretty you are, students! Are you ready? I´m looking forward to reading all your amazing unusual experiences 

CLASS PRESENTATION FOR 2BACHILLERATO

We already know all students should have a very good English level on grammar but...

CAN YOU IMAGINE STUDENTS EXPLAINING GRAMMAR TO OTHER CLASSMATES?

Our 2nd Bachillerato students chose a tense to focus on and prepare 10mins class 

- PASSIVE VOICE

- WISH /IF ONLY + CONDITIONALS

-REPORTED SPEECH 

- RELATIVE CLAUSES...

Do you already distinguish the differences between I WISH/IF ONLY?

AND WHAT ABOUT... RELATIVE CLAUSES? Do you use properly

NON-DEFINING AND DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSES? PRONOUNS TO USE WITH BOTH?

WELL DONE, GIRLS! The rest of the class worked hard too and they keep learning and during this 2nd term we're paying serious attention to writing and speaking skills! 

Let's start a new unit practicing vocabulary about the house! What part of the house do you like the most? Can you mention all the objects of the kitchen? Our students CAN DO IT REALLY WELL!
I particularly love the kitchen as we spend lots of time in there but also I love my living-room,whenwe open windows on both sides we get a wonderful breeze. The living-room is cozy and warm, with a fireplace as the focal point.

DO YOU WANT TO PRACTICE VOCABULARY WITH US?

Guess what?!! Which part of the house is for used for cooking lots of recipes? EASY, isn't it?

                                   

Our students from 1ESO practiced and learnt lots of words related to kitchen! Remember the goal is not learning by heart but practicing because PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT

Let's practice Past Simple with our students! Seguimos repasando el Pasado Simple con nuestros alumnos/as de 2ºESO,recordad alumnos/as lo siguiente:

Hay muchas maneras de hablar del pasado en inglés, pero el pasado simple es la forma más común. El pasado simple en inglés es equivalente al pretérito imperfecto y pretérito indefinido del español. Usamos el pasado simple para acciones completas en el pasado. El período de tiempo de estas acciones no es importante como en el español. En el pasado simple hay verbos regulares y verbos irregulares.


Y sobre todo, se trata de practicar el pasado simple, hablándolo porque la gramática se debe usar en situaciones reales, aprendiendo qué se puede decir en cada momento. Are you ready to answer some questions about the past?

ANTES DE ACABAR, REPASEMOS JUNTOS LOS VERBOS IRREGULARES!!
