Exam Practice

Last lesson I promised to post some links to practice exercises I thought would help you prepare for this week's exam. Here they are! Let me know if you have any problems or if you are confused about how something works or why you got an answer wrong, for example.


Here are the links:

Listening

Also, this isn't related directly to this exam, but is useful to all of you. We were chatting the other day about the 'infinitive of purpose', because it is common error. For example, often you say something like: 'She went to the library for study', when you should say, 'She went to the library to study'.

Here is a link for an explanation in Spanish.

I hope this helps. See you tomorrow!

Homework answers

I invited you all to view a google document by sending an email, so you should have received an email saying that I have invited you to share a google document, or something. If you look at this you'll find the answers to the homework tasks.

If you have any questions about anything, let me know, by email or here on the blog, replying to this message.

I hope you've had a good weekend!

The Black Hole

This is the video we watched in class last night. Please write some comments here, don't worry if you repeat something that was said in class. Think about these things:


What should the man have done to avoid getting into this situation?
What would you have done if you were him?
What would you do if you had a black hole like this?

BLINK 182- ROCK SHOW

In this video they waste lot of money!! I like the song but I think that the money is better in Africa or in the poor villages in America...

Look at it and comment please!

A great website with activities for music videos

Good evening grandma's duck team!

Please check this out http://www.lyricstraining.com/index.php. I came across it today and I thought you guys would really enjoy it, as you seem to like using songs to learn English.

It's great fun and not difficult to use, so what are you waiting for?!

See you soon

Richard

I'M YOURS UKELELE

This is a very funny video, is a boy who sings I'm yours by Jason Mraz, whith the ukelele.

The boy is only 4 years old wen he was recorded.

Amazing.

Today's Lesson

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to remind you all that there will be an exam next Tuesday, so today and Thursday's lesson will be used to help you prepare for doing the exam. I hope your school exams are going well.

See you later!

Richard

it is my turn¡¡¡

Hi, my name is maripaz, and I am mister lechado´s best friend, this is a good idea because mister lechado knows where you live, and this is really dangerous.

I like Monty Python videos because they are really funny.

At the weekend, I go to the cinema with my friends.

I love reading too. My favourite kinds of books are fantasy books and andventures books.

In English class we have listened to songs and watched Monty Python videos.

We do a lot of things in our English class. Our last idea was to create a blog.

We call it THE GRANDMA ´S DUCK because in front of our English class there is a grandma with a dog that is always barking.

The duck is another story that I´ll tell you next time.

The duck, who am I?

Hi I´m the duck, I like doing sport, listening music and meeting with my friends. My favourite sports are: football, volleyball, surfing and tennis. My favourite team is Real Madrid without Kaká, because he doesn´t cause problem for the other team, he causes problems for Real Madrid because he loses the ball and the other team can counter-attack, my favourite type of music is Pop-Rock and Rock, AC/DC and U2, I like meeting with my friends because I enjoy spending my free time with them.

This is Mister Lechado´s time!!!

Hi! I am Mister Lechado, and no, I am not more than 18 years old haha.

Well, the first thing I want to say is... I know where you live, so try to be nice with me.

Well now I will be serious, I like sports, to annoy Maria José and Maripaz, well things that all teennagers do.

My favourite band is Linkin Park, of course.

I like English class too, because I enjoy it, but...it isn´t funny when Real Madrid lose because Richard is very evil.

Well I think I have said all that I can so see you later!! ^^

WANNABE'S VIDEO

I love this video, because it is very funny and these boys do a very good and crazy version of the song wannabe, by The Spice girls

Please look at it and comment.

What do you think?

CASTROTEBA. WHO AM I?

Hi! My nickname is Castroteba.

I am 15 years old and I live on Planet Earth.

I like poetry, listening to rap, Nirvana, AC/DC, red hot chilli peppers, punk rock and lots of types of music.

I like football, basketball, table-tennis, volleyball, swimming and lots of sports.

I love countryside and my favourite thing about the countryside is going with my friend Saba and exploring the river on the via Verde walking exciting walks.

If you are a nerd... (maybe you are) try to understand these silly words...

Hello, I'm grandma

Hi, I'm Grandma, I like cooking, watching English classes through my window and listening to my dog barking.

The First Post

Congratulations!
