Hi everyone!
The class on 4th April was focused on these topics: tourism, holidays and travelling.
After revising some vocabulary about it (that you'll find on the post of 1st April), we did a listening in which several people were interviewed about these matters. We had to answer to some questions proposed by Kate. We shared our answers in groups of three, and then, to everybody.
We continued by interviewing each other in pairs, about our preferences in travelling or the places we have visited.
We completed these notions with a debate, in groups of three, concerning tourism in general and some polemic topics about tourism in Spain: Eurovegas, the drinking and partying tourism or the culture market (you can find the topics we talked about on the post of 1st April).
Then, we shared the opinions of each group with the whole class.
Finally, Kate gave us several notions about vowels and the several sounds they have (sixteen!! about fourteen in American English).
That was all.
See you!

For Tuesday, we are going to discuss the 4 discussion questions of the Simpson episode ( we can correct the rest quickly or you can email it to me at kate@kseley.jazztel.es .
Then, we'll connect this with the topic of love and love stories: talking and a listening. Here's a vocabulary sheet:

Kate, I write here the summary of B1.3 class.
ResponderEliminarSummary class 05th April 2013.
Firstly, we played a game which consisted of filling the gaps with prepositions. This game was useful to remember some phrasal verbs such as “consist of” or “look after”… For this task the class was divided in three teams, and when a member of a team said the correct answer, that team won a point. Finally team 2 won the quiz even though team 1 and team 3 were very close to them.
After that we talked about books, concretely, we did exercises on page 37-38. We had to ask other students questions about their favorite novels or if they had read a biography, thus we spent some time telling others about our habits of reading. That task was related to “relative clauses”, which was the second part of the class, so we learned about when we have to use “who”, “which”, “whose”, “when”, “where” or “that”.
After the rest time, we did a listening exercise, it was about a joke, because Kate told us about 3rd April in United Kingdom, which is similar to 28th December in Spain. The listening was very hard to understand it, we listened to the conversatio between two guys four times and then we answered some questions in the book.
Finally, for next Friday we have to do exercises of “Review” unit 4, and also think about our oral projects.
