What's Going on? What's Happening?

Week 21^st – 23^rd

It seems to me you were a bit lazy and that’s why nobody turned up (appeared) on Monday.  I guess (suppose) you were taking advantage of the holidays until the very last moment!

Anyway, we got started on Wednesday.

We finished the crossword with word definitions.

We revised different verb tenses with a communication task.

In one of the pictures, Mari is outside the cinema. She is looking at her watch. She is waiting for her boyfriend. She has been waiting for nearly one hour. She’s sad because she thinks her boyfriend has let her down! (disappointed her, not attending to the date).

In picture 2, Jan has been learning to drive for two months and she’s having her driving test today. Both, she and her driving teacher aren’t looking at the road. Fred is talking to his wife on his mobile. In fact, they are arguing. They’ve been arguing for a long time. He’s crossing the road absentmindedly (distractedly). Fred is going to be run over by Jan!

In picture 4, we can see three men working out (doing exercise) in the gym. Tony’s running. He looks exhausted (very tired). He’s been running for one hour.

·         Have you ever let anybody down? Who was s/he? When did it happen?

·         Have you ever run over an animal when you were driving e.g. a cat, a rabbit, a hare (animal similar to rabbit)?

·         Do you like working out? How often do you work out?

We revised present perfect with a communication task.

·           He has never eaten frog legs.

·           Why hasn’t he eaten frog legs? Because frog legs don’t appeal to him. (He doesn’t feel attracted by that kind of food)

·           I’ve never been to Japan but I’d like to go there.

·           I haven’t been to Japan because I don’t have enough money. I’d like to visit the country because I’d like to see Japanese temples and the cities of Tokyo and Kyoto.

Next week we’ll tell stories using past tenses, past simple, continuous and past perfect.
