Welcome Back!

Welcome back!

First things, first. I’d like to welcome our new student: Óscar. Nice to meet you!

So, Óscar and Pilar have known each other since they were children.

We started the class talking about money because after Christmas we are broke! (don’t have any money).

We learnt some vocabulary and listen to a sarcastic song: “Ka-chin”. The song was a criticism to consumerism.

Yes, you were right. “Ka- chin” refers to the sound of the till when you pay at a store.

I could see you are very sensible (you act properly, appropriate) and you don’t spend all your money. You also save some for the future or to buy something you want or need.

Do you remember :

·         What’s Pilar saving her money for?

·         How much money does David spend on clothes?

·         Has Andrea ever wasted any money?

·         What things can’t afford to buy?

·         How much do they charge for a coke at a pub?

·         Do you think you are greedy?

·         What’s the name for the money that the bank lends you to buy something?

·         How is the money that the bank lends you to buy a house called?

·         Do you owe any money to anyone (your brother, sister, parents…)

After that, we talked about ability. We used a questionnaire and did a survey based on it.

Find somebody who…

·         Would like to be able to travel. Where?

·         Won’t be able to attend to the next class.

·         Could swim before s/he was four.

      Etc.
