Wenesday I think everyone was there and the Debate topics related to Tourism took up almost all the class and got us involved in all kinds of interesting discussions from prostitution and cumpulsive gambling to models of development and cultural imperialsim!
No new material for Monday. There is one new paper but my scanner isn't working, so I have made copies.
Good weekend! Kate
Now for Raquel's summary:
ASAP: As soon as possible
OMG: Oh my God!
TLC: Tender, Loving, Care
During the third part of the class Kate played us a listening about three people who called a radio show looking for psychological help trying to solve their personal problems with the answer of the speaker.
Finally, in the other parts of the class, we were interacting with some partners playing two different roles: In one case we were playing the role of psychologist to, after that, turned to play the role of someone needed of psichologycal help.
Well, I think I´m not missing much, excepting some interesting vocabulary/grammar that I write down here:
Vocabulary
-pass away: to die
-reach an agreement: make a deal
-cougar: woman who dates with younger man
-cool off: to calm down
-kick him out: to fire someone
Grammar
-diferencies between prevent and avoid: prevent is used in the future while avoid is used in the present
-we also talked about the uses of a previous “n” in the article that preceed a word beginning with vowels sound.
We should use a previous “n” when there is a word that begins with a vowel sound, but not only in the words that begin with a vowels. So the fact is in the vowel sound of a word.
Ex: An SUV is great for large families and driving on country roads..
On the other side there are cases in which the word begin with vowel but the sound of the word is consonant, then we don´t use a previous “n” in the article
Ex: A university
I hope this writing has helped you, see you on Wednesday.
