Tuesday 31st January




Hello everyone,

We continue the class talking about Lois and Elliot's day. The students have to correct some sentences about these two people. They practise the contrastive stress in the negative sentences. Notice:

She doesn't live in a flat. She lives in a house

We make emphasis on doesn't, flat and house. They are pronounced with stronger tone of voice. We want to correct the wrong information and clarify which is the correct one.

Then, Students revise the new vocabulary and grammatical structures asking and answering questions about 2 members of their family. We remark a new question word WHY. It's special because its answer has to start with the conjunction because. For example,

Why do you like pizza?
Because it's delicious.

To check what they know about do and does, they have to do a "CHECK IT" exercise on p.45.

We continue the class studying words that go together in English. Students try to match verbs with some words to form what in English we call collocations, and to practise them orally they complete a questionnaire about their partner's lifestyle (p.46).
They revise the frequency adverbs and the 3rd person singular.

To finish the class we study the days of the week and other expressions related to them and the prepositions of time :on, in, at.

at nine o'clock
on Sunday
in the morning
