Here We Go!

Week 8^th-15^th January 2015

Hello again!!!

We start a new year and we are going to start a new level.

Before going onto Pre-intermediate, let’s revise what we learnt in Elementary.

The week that starts today (because he first day of the English week is Sunday not Monday) we are going to revise the exercises on the photocopy I gave you on Thursday 8^th (our first day of class after Christmas holidays) ‘Level 1 Grammar check’

The first day of class, as it was expected, we talked about the previous holidays.

Last week, we finished talking about ‘Amazing Experiences’ and the use of ‘like’ and ‘would like to’.

Remember:

·         We use like + ing to talk about hobbies or activities in general.

I like cooking. (it’s not true! I hate it!)

·         We use would like to when we talk about something we want to do or our wishes.

I’d (would) like to travel to Japan.

Then, we read about three presents to remember: Wine tasting, interior design tuition and water skiing.

Of course, you wouldn’t (would not) give a present like ‘Wine tasting’ to  a person who doesn’t like drinking alcohol! Or ‘water skiing’ to somebody who can’t swim!

1. I  would like likes like to have a car.
2. I  would like likes like lions and tigers very much.
3. She  would like likes like playing tennis.
4. I  would like likes like to eat a pizza tonight.
5. They  would like likes like to buy a house but they haven't got enough money.
6. My mother  would like likes like a new dress to go to Paul's birthday.
7. I don't  would like likes like your tee-shirt, it's awful.
8. My son  would like likes like a video game for his birthday.
9. Mike  would like likes like children very much.
10. Ann  would like likes like to work for this company.
11. You  would like likes like dancing, don't you? 

We reviewed comparatives with a game.

In our gapped-sentences (sentences with an empty space in the middle) we had to fill in the gap (complete) using a comparative adjective. Our classmate had another piece of paper with different gapped-sentences. We had to guess which comparative was used in his/her sentences. The winner was Luis!

·         Swimming is better exercise than walking.

·         A Rolls Royce is more expensive than a Citroen.

·         Russia is bigger than Spain.

·         Men are more dangerous drivers than women.

And we finished the week with a listening exercise.

 That was it!

Enjoy the rest of the weekend! Although it’s so cold that the best plan for me is staying home watching TV and playing cards.

See you on Tuesday!
