Tuesday 15th May

We finished unit 12 revising the vocabulary related to food. The students had to tell the rest of the class about a text they read at home (p.92-93) and then discuss about healthy diets.

Then, we started a new unit. In unit 13 we revised the colours and learnt the vocabulary of clothes. We practised the new vocabulary describing someone in the class and guessing who s/he was.
After that, we read the description of some people at a picture and the students had to complete it with words of colours and clothes and point to them.

We studied a new grammar point: the present continuous. We use the present continuous to describe what is happening now.

He's reading a newspaper

She's phoning her friends

We make the present continuous with the present simple of the verb to be : am/is/are + verb + -ing.

I+am + dance + -ing = I'm dancing

She + is + play + -ing = She's playing

We practised the new tense asking questions like: What are you wearing today? What are you doing?
We finished the class asking questions about some pictures on p.98. The students were asked "What is s/he doing?", and they had to describe the action in the picture: He's cooking, He's driving...

For next day read the text on p.101.
