Money, Money:Teenage Millionaires

Hi Guys!

How are you doing?

Are you fine? busy with school exams? tired because it’s Thursday?

Don’t worry about that because tomorrow is Friday! TGIF!!!

What does TGIF stand for (meaning of each letter)?

 Thanks God It’s Friday!

You can hear this colloquial acronym in “Last Friday Night” by Kate Perry.

It was nice to meet a new student: Laura. We now have two Lauras.

One of them is interested in arts and the other one fancies (likes) horses, I mean she’s mad about horses!

We revised and finished the vocabulary on “money”.

·         How do you call a piece of paper money in British English? And in American English?

·         How’s the money you have to pay to the government called?

·         What does ATM stand for? Is it the same as a cash machine?

·         Quoting Shakespeare,“Neither a lender, nor a borrower be.” What do you think it means?

We found out (discovered) what we could do, will be able to do, haven’t been able to do and would like to be able to do.

Alejandro thought he wouldn’t be able to come to class but he came. He was able to come to class in the end.

And we finished the class talking about famous teenagers or young people who became millionaires.

Most of them are sports people or prodigious kids who became actors at an early age, but there are some who made their money in the field of computers or IT (Information Technology) business.

For homework:

Don’t forget to find out information about a young millionaire. It could be a celebrity, a business person, an entrepreneur, a singer etc.

Their names, age, nationality, where they live, why they are famous or not, how they started earning money, if they work long hours etc.

We’ll go on (continue) talking about this next class!

Have a nice weekend!!
