  1. Hi class!

    I'm gonna make a little resumen of what we did today.

    At the begining, we remembered how we must ask about PERSONALITY and PHYSICALS FEATURES.
    Do you remember?

    -What's he like?
    ¿Cómo es él? (de caracter,personalidad,etc)

    - What's he looks like?
    ¿Cómo es él? (fisicamente)

    We did practices talking about Hugo Chavez and brushing up(repassin) some adgetives like: serious,selfconfident,talkative,agresiv,carismathic,comunicative, bossy,stubborn( terco, obstinado), etc.
    And others new words like: almond-shaped eyes (ojos almendrado) and smart,which means INTELIGENT for american people but ELEGANT for british people).

    Then we talking about THE WEATHER and Kate told us the NOUNS, ADJETIVES and VERBS of each climatological possibility.
    Examples:

    *SUN-SUNNY-SHINE/SHINING
    *CLOUD-CLOUDY-CLOUD UP "it's cloudin up"(se está
    nublando).
    *WIND-WINDY-BLOW "the wind is blowing"(el viento está soplando).

    We saw some adjetives for the differents temperatures:

    40º= It's boiling
    38º= It's hot
    20º= It's warm
    15º= It's fresh/mild
    5º = It's cool
    0º = It's cold
    -5º= It's freezing

    When the temperature is more and more cold, we can say: "The temperature is cooling down",
    when it is more and more hot: "The temperature is warming up".

    We did an exercise of "listening" in wich we had to understad a weather forecast retrasmission(pronóstico del tiempo)of some of the principals citys of the EEUU.

    Kate told us too,some expression for SUGGESTS:
    - HOW ABOUT+ GERUND
    How about going out for a walk? (¿qué tal si salimos a pasear?)
    - WHY DON'T ...
    Why don't we go to the cinema this evening?(¿Por qué no vamos al cine esta tarde?)
    - LET'S GO...
    Let's go to the swimingpool(Vamos a la pisci!)

    and some answers depending we AGREE OR DESAGREE:

    - It is a good idea.
    - Great idea!!
    - NO, I DON'T FEEL LIKE + GERUND.
    No, I don't feel like going out for a walk
    (NO, no me apetece salir a dar un paseo).

    Finally, we were practising in pairs, doing a dialogue with the words and sentences learned:

    A)What's the weather like today?
    B)Oh! today it's sunny.
    A)And what is the temperature?
    B)The temperature is -2º, it's very cold!
    A)Then, why don't we stay at home watching a movie.
    B)Oh, I don't feel like watching a movie today, Let's take the coats and go out for a walk, the sun is shining!!
