"Is it raining?" "Yes, it's raining men! Hallelujah!"

Thursday 14^th

Hi guys! How are you doing?

Today  we talked about transport. We role played a dialogue asking for information about trains or buses.

We learnt to use the verbs get on/off, get in / out, properly.

Look Out:

Get in /(into)  - Get out /out of are used with  car, taxi, van and helicopter.

Get off / Get on – are used with the rest, i.e. bus, train, tube, plane, boat, bike etc.

Homework:  Write a short composition telling me what your favourite means of transport is and why. (cheaper, more convenient, the fastest, the most comfortable etc.) Use comparative and superlative adjs.

We learnt some “slang” used in songs.

You told me the meaning of these words:

Gonna                    going to

Gotta                      have got to                                              

Wanna                   want to

‘cause /’cos            because

ain’t                        isn’t / aren’t and it’s also been used as haven’t or hasn’t

Cool, isn’t it? But remember that this is slang and it isn’t used in formal contexts. It isn’t proper English. So, use it only when you are with friends!

Another meaning of “cool” is: cold, but not very cold. And now, let’s talk about the weather.

We did a word square on weather words. You were very good and had almost all of them.

We listened to the song “It’s Raining Men” by The Weather Girls and also the version by Gery  Halliwell.

Which of the two versions do you prefer?

Game : finding words in the word square and guessing the meaning of words from the song lyrics.
