End of the year

Well, the course has come to an end and I'll be leaving Lucena next week. I've had a great time teaching you guys and I want to wish you all the best for the future. Thanks again for the photo, it was a very nice thought and I'm pleased you went to the trouble of finding me to give me the present!

I'll leave the blog here on the internet so that you can use it over the summer and maybe next year if you want.

Ok, take care, have a great summer and make sure you do something everyday to learn some English, even if it's just one phrasal verb it will be useful!

Bye!

Another great phrasal verbs resource.

Check this out.

It's a great phrasal verb dictionary. You can search for PVs or just browse through and there are also quizzes to test yourself. Have a look at the GET list!

Reading Practice

Try to find the time to do this exercise as reading practice. Remember the techniques we discussed in class!

P.S. Now the annoying music will have left the main page of the blog!

Oral Exam

Hi guys,

I just want to remind you that Tuesday 8th June (tomorrow!) is your oral exam, so please come if you can, even if it's only to do the exam and then go home. The exam will only be about 8 minutes long.

Also, I think the written exam should be on Thursday 17th June because Tuesday 22nd will be our final class.

By the way, if somebody writes one more post the annoying music from the dvolver cartoon won't appear on the main page any more, who's going to do it?!

Video quiz - world environment day

Here's a video you can watch and then there are some questions to answer.

It's a great way to practise your listening skills! Have a look around the website, there are other videos and quizzes as well!

History Pin - compare the old and the new

What a great idea this is!

Mixing Google street view with pictures of old photos historypin can help you see what things used to look like. A the moment there only seems to be stuff in the UK, lots of London. Maybe you could add something for Lucena?! Have your parents or grandparents got any old photos?

knockin on heavens door bob dylan






A good song by Bob Dylan. Here are the lyrics:

Mama, take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore.
It's gettin' dark, too dark for me to see
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore.
That long black cloud is comin' down
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Exams

Here's a funny video to cheer you up during your arduous study periods!


Could you write this fast?!

On the Beach with George Bush and an Elf

Here's your funny little film, I think it's great! If you have time, make another one yourself, take a break from studying and relax!


Oral exam

The delayed and rearranged oral exam will be on Thursday, so I really hope you can come to class, even if you just come for the exam itself, which is only about 10 minutes long.

See you later.

Modal Verbs

Here's a great page with an overview of modal verbs. They can be quite difficult to understand and use correctly and I think this page displays them in a clear table, showing the differences.

See the page here

Also, at the bottom of the page, there's a link to a quiz where you can practise using modal verbs.

Have fun!
