Hello again!
Easter
holidays were very nice, weren’t they?
The weather was fantastic almost (nearly) every day. Yes, it rained, but
that was on the last day.
Alejandro
was very busy because he spent the
holidays studying for his exams.
Good luck!
Laura
liked holidays so much that she didn’t turn up! (appear). We hope you’re OK and hope to see you in our next class,
after the long weekend of 1st May.
We started
the class talking about Easter holidays.
I went to the village. I left on
Thursday at about 2.00 p.m. so as to avoid getting held in the traffic.(being
stopped, to avoid traffic jams). My friend gave me a lift to the village. (My friend
took me in her car). I visited
my family. I met my friends who live
in different parts of Spain, I went out
for a drink, I walked and I saw some processions. The weather was nice, sunny and mild (warm).
It was overcast
(cloudy) on
the last day, Sunday. And I think it rained.
It didn’t
matter (wasn’t important) because it was when I came back to
Madrid.
They were fantastic holidays. Now, I’m looking
forward to (I really want, I wish) next weekend because it’s going
to be a long one. Although I don’t think the weather is going to be as good as it was at Easter! Never
mind! I’ll rest!
After that
we talked about Scotland.
What do
you know about Scotland?
What’s the
capital city of Scotland? What’s the most famous drink in Scotland?
What’s a
kilt? What are bagpipes? What’s “haggis”? No, it’s not a brand of baby’s nappies! Those are “Huggies”
Then we
watched a video and did a quiz about Edinburgh.
You can watch the
video again here
And you
can learn something about another interesting city in Scotland: Glasgow http://www.esolcourses.com/content/lifeintheuk/glasgow/videoquiz.html
We thought
about different cities and answer these questions:
·
What
are
the shops like?
·
What’s
the
public transport like?
·
What’s the
weather like?
·
What
are
the people like?
·
What’s
the
food like?
Remember that we use “to
be like” to give general descriptions of people and/or things.
We made up (invented)
the information in class. For homework, look up (search for information) real information
on the web about a city of your
choice (the one you want) and write a short composition answering the questions
above. Write a composition,
not only the answers to the questions. You’ll get up to 3 points for homework according to
performance. (If your homework is good, you can get a maximum of three points)
