First week after Easter

Hello everyone,

We made a good start after holidays, didn't we?

Congratulations to those who made an oral presentation: Sol, Aída, Alex, Antonio and Rafa. Very well done. I hope people next week will do as well as you did!

Well... last week we learned when to use the infinitive and the gerund. 2ºH still have to learn how to use the gerund because we missed a class on Thursday. But don't worry, we will do it next week.

Here you have more practice on infinitives and gerunds.

Here you have some more theory and practice about this topic.

And... here is the key to handout 21.

Finally... I have to mention our first Spring concert organized by the Official Language School. I missed many of you, but I hope you can come next time. It was awesome!

The last term!!!

Hello everyone,

How was Easter?

Today we are starting our last term.

Before Easter we finished unit 4. Now I would like to use our time left as best as we can, so here you have the keys to handout 20 and to the pink pages after unit 4.

Remember that if you have any question about them, you must ask in class. Don't forget to indicate in you books and handouts where you found the problems!

Our second reader

Hello everyone,

This is our second reader. I hope you can enjoy reading it!

Here you have a reading diary that you can fill in. It will help you learn more and you can send it back to me. You can repeat page two as many times as you want.

Did you know that the author of these two stories is Washington Irving, the man who also wrote Tales of the Alhambra? He knew Granada very well.

Here you can find more information about this author.

Week 23rd-26th March

Hello everyone,

This week has been a bit short because there was no class on Thursday. Only three people from 2nd H came to see the story-teller, it was a pity because we had a very good time. Thanks to Felipe, Auxi and Pablo for that. I hope you enjoyed it.

This week we were learning about superlatives, and here you have the keys to hand out 16 (4D Grammar)
We also revised comparatives, and 2nd A were learning about giving directions. Don't worry 2nd H because we will do it next week.

Very important: people from 2nd A, do not forget to bring a description of the place where you leave following the instructions on page 49 next Monday. We will be doing peer revision in class, so it is important that you bring your compositions.

You also had to finish 4D in the workbook and write the phonetic transcriptions of the irregular verbs (up to "give"), handout 19 and 20.

Have a nice weekend and see you next week.

16th-19th March

Hello everyone,

This week we have been studying comparative forms with adjectives, nouns and adverbs.

We will continue working on that next week and we will start superlatives too.



You have to finish handouts 16, 17 and 18 (not the parts about superlatives, which you will finish next week) as well as the workbook 4C.

Here you have the keys to handout 16 (only to unit 4C), the keys to handout 17, and to handout 18.

By the way, I have added a new link on the right: "Pronunciation online" where you can type any word and you will listen to the correct pronunciation instantly. You can try with these words: comfortable, butcher, interesting, or even with proper names. How do you pronounce "Lady Di? and Greenwich? I am sure this will be very useful!

Nouns as modifiers

Hello,

Some questions arose in class about adjective word order and nouns modifying other nouns.
Here you have a link if you want to practice how nouns can modify other nouns.
You can also practice adjective word order here.

I hope you enjoy it! ;-)

Richard Marsh, a storyteller

Hello,


Do not forget that next Thursday 26th March Richard Marsh is coming to Granada to tell us wonderful Irish stories. Here is his website in case you want to learn something more about him before Thursday.

It will be in CEP-Granada, at 17.00 for elementary studens and at 19.00 for intermediate and advanced students. You can come whenever you can, even you can attend both sessions!!


I hope to see you all there.
