Our Favourite Photos

Thursday 12^th

Hi again!

Today Laura was absent.

But we found out (=discovered) why David didn’t come last class…

He went away (travelled) for the weekend. The long weekend.

And, guess what! He travelled to Dublin. And he visited Trinity college! How lucky!

It seems Pilar wasn’t so lucky. She came to class in clutches!  (kind of sticks to help you walk when you have broken a leg or sprained an ankle) It seems she had a sprained (damaged, not broken) playing basketball. Yes, playing basketball. It wasn’t a gymnastics injury! (hurt, damaged)

In spite of all this news, we took advantage of the class and worked a lot.

Following with the heading “It’s history,” we read a short biography on Nelson Mandela, who died last week.

We talked about important people in our lives.

We did a couple of listening comprehension exercises. One of them, about an awful holiday and the second one about famous photos. We described those photos.

The “Watergate scandal” August 9^th 1974.

The knocking down of the Berlin wall, 1989.

And The Beatles composing a song in a hotel room in Paris. 1964.

You told me about some photos you like and why. But we’re going to continue talking about pictures on Thursday, so, don’t forget to bring a photo you like. You’ll have to describe it and tell us why you like it.

I’ll be looking forward to hear about those photos. See you on Thursday.

Besides, we are having the result of our games competition.
