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
