EliminarHello classmates!!
ResponderEliminarToday we forgot resolve who whould do the summary so, as I think that almost all of us did it, I decide restart the shifts.
Today we had a discussion in pairs about the descriptions of Simpson family members.So whe did, all together this time, a little game trying to guess the character that, each of us, was describing to the rest of the class.
It was very interesting to learn words like:
Bun = moño (Marge has a long blue hair in a bun).
Naughty = travieso (Bart is a naughty boy).
Pranks = trastadas (Bart has fun doing pranks).
or knowing that EDUCATION is only used like an academic term.
For example, we must say: "Bart is the perfect example of the effects caused by the EXAMPLE or INFLUENCE of Homer". We can't say "...the education of Homer".
We learned too how to say "chupete":
- Pacifier (american).
- Dummy (british).
and others terms like
- argumento = plot
- discusión = argument
- charla = discussion
Then, in group of three, we talked about the questions suggested in the end of the Simpson exrcise.
We talked about personal experiences with SEX EDUCATION CLASSES, JEALOUS, REVENGE... and we puted it in common. We could listen some funny stories.
In the second part of the class we speaked about LOVE and saw the vocabulary wich can be found in the blog.
We could learn that "to have a crush on somebody" = colarse por alguien, but not in a serious way.
Or that A DATE (una cita) can be a VERB (I'm dating at Susana) or a PERSON (George was my date).
We was thinking about films and English songs in which we can find "LOVE", there is a lot of them!!
- "All you nedd is love"
_ "Love is in the air"
- "Where is the love"
- "I will allways loving you"...etc.
And finally we could listen a Love Story between three persons, a love triangle, wich not ends very happy.
For the next day, we have to whrite a LOVE STORY using the VOCABULARY which you can find on the blog.
Enjoy the exercise and see you on wednesday!!
