Hello again everyone,
As we are going to start talking about sports and past anecdotes, here you have a vocabulary and listening activity which my colleague Laura Jiménez has selected for her students. I thought it would be a nice activity for you too.
You can download the document and key with transcript here

Fourth week
Hello everyone,
Last week we continued talking about food, but this time we included a restaurant situation. Do not forget to revise the typical expressions in a restaurant.
We also learnt some aspects about the use of articles and we advanced some grammatical uses of the past simple, continuous and perfect. You can do the activities on page 130 in your student book.
Here you have some extension on the uses of the past perfect with activities.
As for homework, you have to finish unit 1A in the workbook, and handouts 5 and 6. You can ask any questions in class. You also have to revise the speaking activity on page 7 in the book.
See you in class!

Fruit and Vegetable Idioms
Hello everyone,
Here you have a funny video to learn some idioms which include fruit names. Think about how you would say these expressions in your mother tongue.
And now, vegetable idioms:
After you watch them, if there is anything you don't quite understand, here you have the script to fruit idioms and the one to vegetable idioms.
I hope you enjoy them!

Podcasts
Hi there!
Our classmate Tíscar recommended this website in class:
http://www.listen-to-english.com/?cat=podcasts
You can either subscribe so that they will send you podcasts with exercises to your email or you can simply visit periodically that website and practice listening, reading, writing and even speaking if you try to do activities orally.
It will be quite useful for you, I am sure.
Thank you Tíscar!

Welcome everyone
Hello!!!
A new course has just started, new students, old friends... We are at intermediate level, so congratulations and let's get started!!!
After all the introductions, greetings and "I've heard a lot about you", a new relationship between Mark and Alli..., descriptions, and a couple of more exercises, our next step will be talking about FOOD and DIET.
You have handout 2 to learn more vocabulary, but do not forget to look up the words in the dictionary to check pronunciation. I will upload the key here next week.
You can have a look at these websites about food and check pronunciation. It is American English, so some lexicon might be different and of course, you will notice some changes in pronunciation:
Fruit
Vegetables
Food
Food 2
Have a nice weekend!
