B2.2 Excellent summary of the last classes (Mar. 14,15) by Friday student)

From Rocio, in the Friday class. Although there were a few differences in what we did (for example , the Saturday had done the Reading with Carole) the 2 groups basically did the same things. Excellent job, Rocio:

Hi! I’m Rocío and here is the summary of Friday’s class.

We started talking about the last Madrid Players play; Ester told us she went to see it, and she loved it. Then we moved on to lesson 7. We were confused because Kate didn’t know what we had done on Friday 7th (she was sick and she couldn’t come), so we just did the reading on page 50 about truth and staTistics, but focused on the pronunciation. We learned that there are 2 or 3 sounds for each vowel and some “rules” or tips that can be very useful to know how to pronounce the words.* We also did some exercises about active and passive sentences.

We started lesson 9, which is related to work, chosing four things we would like to have in a job and discussing them with a partner. It was not easy to choose just four of them! After that, we continued doing an exercise about vocabulary. Some of the verbs in the exercise, like liaise, are not usually used by English students. With this question we started talking about the Student’s Book and how it is made. Some of us liked the way it is done, and some didn''t.

Later we did the listening, which this time was not easy to understand because of the accent of the people talking and some exercises about continuous form.

For homework we have to do the vocabulary on page 66 and the Reading on page 67.

See you on Friday!

Best wishes,

Rocío.

Look at the previous blog for charts about the vowel sounds and differences.

If you remember, we commented that there was no job interview in this lesson but that I would post some typical job interview questions.CLICK HERE
