Con B2: Great summary by Carlos

Last Tuesday our class has been divided in two parts. The first one has been a hard time for Kate. She´s spent more than one hour talking about phonetic. She focused on vowels and diphthongs, (which) WHOSE pronunciation is much more complex than in Spanish language. She did her best to show us the differences between the fifteen vowels of English speech. She compared words like sheet and shit or cat and cut, to show us the differences between long and short vowels. Besides, we learnt several phonetic rules, such as that one that say : " When two vowels go walking. The first one does the talking". Kate stressed about the importance of these rules, although English language has plenty of exceptions.

The second part was more entertaining. We did a roll play, in pairs, where we had to carry on a conversation. Kate gave us small pieces of information, one of the couple told a story based on it and the other one had to express his emotional reaction saying expressions such as "How exciting!" or "How unfair!". We practised a lot with different papers and partners.
