Since we are one day "behind" the Tues- th group cause we have had more holidays, the post I wrote for the Tu-th. group,, we will do most of on Wed.
For Monday, we will do the Facebook vocabulary and another activity, and finish with the Debate Questions about Toursim in the post of 4/1.
Also see the Simpson Episode, post of 3/30. It is very funny and the Discussion question are very good.
There is a link to see it with subtitles in English.
Hi everybody, I´m Raquel, the responsible of summarizing our last monday class of conversation b2. The class of yesterday can be mainly divided in four parts. The first one was dedicated to the facebook`s vocabulary and to the acronyms. Some of the most used in colloquial writings are:
ResponderEliminarASAP: 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.
