Week 7th- 9th
April
Hi! How are you doing?
Fine, aren’t you? Me,
too. Because next week is Easter and we’ll be on holiday. After such a long
term, we really deserve a holiday; don’t you think?
I’m sorry to hear that
Noemi isn’t coming this term, but we wish you good luck at work and with your
band. Let us know about your concerts!
We reviewed passive
questions. Yes, they are a bit tricky because you have to bear in mind (consider) two things at the same tie. You have
to pay attention to the passive structure, using “to be” and also to the word
order in questions:
Are bananas grown in Spain?
Was the Mona Lisa painted by Leonardo Da Vinci?
Who was taken to hospital?
Was the room being cleaned when you got to the hotel?
We went through your
essays and corrected the mistakes you had made.
You told me Elaine’s story.
Elaine’s talking to her friend on the phone. Her life has changed a
lot. She now lives with Shane.
Who is Shane? How did they meet? Is
he married? Did Bob and Elaine split up? Why? Who was getting on Elaine’s
nerves?
·
You usually keep in touch (communicate with each other) with your friends.
Sometimes you can’t get in touch (contact) with them because we are too busy these
days!
·
They split up (break up, break a relationship) after
ten years of living together.
·
Celebrities often get divorced and they get married again after some time.
·
That horrible noise is getting on my nerves. (I can’t stand it, I hate
it)
We worked in pairs so as to complete a crossword by
using definitions.
·
It’s a place
where you …
·
It’s a person
who …
·
It’s something
you say / do when …
·
It’s the
opposite of../ a kind / sort of…
·
It’s made of…
·
It’s used for…
We also
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.
If you
want to know more about Canterbury, here you have their official website
