Keeping Fit is a Good Alibi!

Week 3^rd – 5^th

Hi! I see you enjoyed the weekend. Well done!

We started the week talking about illnesses. Describing symptoms and giving advice.

·         Good morning. What’s the matter?

·         Last week I was enjoying in the park when I got a terrible sore throat. At home, I was surprised to see that my eyes were very red. It isn’t a cold, but I don’t feel right.

·         It sounds as if you have hay fever and are allergic to the pollen from trees and plants.

·         Stay inside and keep the windows shut.

             _____________________________________________

·         Good afternoon, doctor.

·         Good afternoon. What’s the matter?

·         I have a headache and a backache. In fact, all my body aches.

·         Do you have a temperature?

·         Yes, I think so.

·         You may have the flu. I’m going to write you a prescription for some tablets.

 ·          Stay in bed, drink a lot of water and take these tablets three times a day for one week.

Listening - Health issues

We talked about Tom and Kate and how they have changed!

She didn’t use to be a rebel but now she wears a tattoo.

He used to have long hair.

She didn’t use to play the guitar.

He didn’t use to wear glasses.

We reviewed the difference between “-ed” and “-ing” adjectives.

Somebody feels “ed” because something or somebody is “ing”. In other words,  “-ed” is how you feel and “-ing” is the reason why you feel like that.

She is bored because the film is boring.

·         What do you think is the most exciting sport to watch?

·         What music do you listen to when you feel depressed?

·         Have you ever been disappointed by a birthday present?

·         What’s the most embarrassing thing that’s ever happened to you?

We learnt these phrasal verbs: take up, give up and carry on.

·         When my father retired, he took up (adopted as a hobby) tennis.

·         Carry on (continue) reading. I like the story.

·         Did you know that Sue has given up (has abandoned) her job?

And we learnt that:

The Thrift bank had been robbed.

The police suspected of Noemi and Alberto. They were taken to the police station for an interrogatory. After some time they were discharged (let free). It seems they were jogging early in the morning. After that, they went to their homes for breakfast. And they met again, later. At the time of the robbery they were at the sports centre. Noemi was playing tennis and Alberto was swimming. They had a good alibi supported by a lot of witnesses.

To end the week we talked about what we love, like, don’t mind or hate doing.

We’ll continue tomorrow. See you!
