Thursday 10th
Hi everybody!
It was nice to see
all of you in class.
Easter holidays at
last! After such a long term, all of us need a break; so do I (me, too)
We spent our class
communicating through games.
First, we
practised making questions and answers so as to fill in the missing information we
had on our
pieces of paper.
We had to find out
(discover)
details about Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley.
·
When was
Keira born?
·
Who really was Orlando’s father?
·
How many films has Keira made since 2001?
·
Why did
Orlando have a lot of problems at
school?
·
How long has
Keira lived in London?
We found out
that both
of them live in London. Both of them had problems because
they’re dyslexic. Keira was born in Teddington and Orlando was born in
Canterbury, (beautiful town, by the way); so, both of them are British.
Both
left school when they were teenagers and concentrated on acting.
We defined
words related to geography and we revised defining words through a crossword, in which
we had different words and had to find out the rest of them so as to complete our
crosswords.

And we finished the lesson with an auction!

of selling any kind of objects without a fixed price. People offer money for
them (bid / make a bid) and the person who offers the most money, gets the
thing.
·
Auctioneer: is the
person who leads the auction.

Auction
house:
is the venue (place) where auctions take place. (happen)
·
Budget: is the
amount of money you can spend.
·
Bids start at… first
offers start at …
·
To bid- bade-bidden: offer
money to buy something.
·
Bidder: the
person who offers the money.
Our auctioneer was
Óscar. Bids started at £50, second bid £100, third £150 and so on.
We auctioned ‘grammar
sentences’ and you had to bid for the ones you thought were correct. The group
who bought the larger number of correct sentences was the winner.
Players 1 & 2 and also players 3 & 7
were penalized with -1 points for embezzlement
(to convert money or property entrusted to one, fraudulently to one's
own use)
Games results:
