Thursday 24th May

We started a new unit, unit 14. This is the last unit from the book and here we will study the future and we will revise the grammar and the vocabulary we studied during the course.
First we identified different forms of transport and elicit that the preposition we use before them is "by".

I travel by car
I like travelling by train

We read a text about Bill and Gloria Bigelow. They travelled around Europe and they visited 7 countries in 7 days.
We revised the vocabulary related to countries and 2 different ways of talkiing about the future plans:

Present continous: They're flying to Europe tomorrow
Going to: They're going on a bus tour

After reading we completed some sentences with the missing information and studied how to make questions with these two new verbal structures.
Then, we revised the wh-questions. We read a conversation on p.106 and completed it with the question words given, to consolidate this topic, we practice asking questions about the text.

We finished the class reading 3 texts in the present,past and future forms, p.108. The students compared the different tenses studied this year: how to make positive sentences, questions, and negations.

Present simple:  
                 I study English
                 She doesn't like English
                 Does he play tennis?

Present continuous:
                   I'm studying English
                   She isn't studying English
                   Are they studying English?

Going to:   
                   I'm going to study English next year
                  She isn't going to study English next year
                  Are you study English next year?

Past simple:   
                  I studied English at the school
                  He didn't study English at the school
                  Did you study English at the school?

For next day do the pronunciation exercise on p.107 (ex.4,5)

Homework: Finish WB Unit 13
          Unit test 13, skills test 13.
          Start WB unit 14 

Thursday 17th May

During this class we reviewed the meaning and use of the present simple and present continuous. We learnt that we mainly use the present simple tense to talk about habits and routines, but when something changes in our normal life, we talk about these changes using the present continuous tense.

I often go to the gym after English classes, but  today I'm staying at home.

We completed a text from p.98 with the present simple forms and then we read another one written in the present continuous. We compared both texts and check that the first made reference to Nigel's working life (routine) and the second to Nigel on holiday (extraordinay).
To comsolidate these two verb froms we completed some pairs of sentences with the correct tense(ex.5, p.99).

We finished the class studying new vocabulary. First, opposite verbs (p.102) and then, some common expressions used to explain how we feel and what the problem is (EVERYDAY ENGLISH p.103).

Homework: WB Unit 13 ex.8,9,10.
                   Read the text on p.105

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.


Homework: Unit 12, ex.8-15

Thursday 10th May

We continued studying the new grammar struture "would like".
First we listened to Adam in 2 different conversations: the students had to guess where he was and what he wanted (ex.2,p.89), T12.3, and then complete 2 different dialogues (ex.3,p.89),T.12.4.

We learnt to distingish like/would like.
Like refers to always and it's followed by a verb in -ing


I like going to the cinema


Would like refers to now or soon and it's followed by to+verb


I'd like to go to the cinema tonight.

We listened to a conversation and the students had to complete the dialogue with these 2 structures (ex.2,p.90),T.12.5, and complete a chart with people's wishes(ex.3,p.90), T12.6.
We finished this topic taolking about us. The students had to work with a partner and make questions with would like/like.

Would you like to go to the cimea? Yes,I would/No, I wouldn't.
Do you like going to the cinema? Yes, I do/ No,I don't.

Finally, we studied some vocabulary related to food. We matched food with some pictures and then we read a menu and chose our favourite dish. We finished the class listening to a conversation in a restaurant and wrote the names of the people who talked(ex.2,p.94), T.12.9.

Homework: Photocopy food
          WB Unit 12, ex.1-10.

(Wh.question)+ did + subject + verb (in the infinitive form)?
 What +did+you+ do+ yesterday?


To make negative sentences in the past time, we need the auxiliasry verb "didn't".

 subject+ didn't + verb (in the infinitive form)
 I +didn't +go+ to the cinema


First, we listened to Angie and Rick talking about their weekend (T.10.3). the students had to complete the dialogue with the missing words (p.73, ex.1).

We continue studying Unit 5. We start the lesson completing the photocopy  named " Crazy party". Then, we go to the book and listen to Flavia and Terry conversation. Students have to tick the correct sentences that Terry says.(t.5.13)
After this exercise, Students practise the new structures with their classmates. They complete questions from exercise 3 and imagine a new identity to use at a party. Then they role-play the conversation in class.
We continue the lesson revising the numbers from 1-30 and we learn numbers from 30 to 100.
Students practise saying and writing numbers with their partners, ex.3.
Numbers are useful in English to say the prices. Students read and listen to some prices and then tick on the ones.(ex.6,T.5.17). To consolidate this new vocabulary they play a type of "The price is right" game, where they have to say the right price of some articles.

Hello everyone,

We are studying Unit 5. We start the lesson revising natiolities and languages and the position of adjectives before a noun. For example, an Italian pizza; a French car...
We also study the constructions of phrases with the verbs: have, eat and drink. In the positive form:

I have a French car

I drink English tea

I eat Italian food

In the negative:

I don't have a French car

I don't drink English tea

I don't eat Italian food

And interrogative:

Do you have a French car?

Do you drink English tea?

Do you eat Italian food?

Check the importance of the auxiliary verb do for negatives(don't) and interrogatives(do you?).

We continue studying nationalities and food with a photocopy titled "Eating out". Students read about restautants in London and learn common expressions in a restaurant, like "Would you like anything to drink?", I'd like to pay, please.


To consolidate the new vocabulary, students practise the dialogues with their classmates.
We finish the session matching some cartoons with the right dialogues. These are common expressions at a party.

Do exercises from the Workbook, Unit 5, ex.11-12.
