Hi classmates,

We first started last class by checking homework on page 138 +, exercises 1,2,3.

Secondly +, we listened to -the audio 3.6 again. It -goes +is about some answers -that +[for which] we had to guess what the questions were.

After that, we listened to -the audio 3.7 with both -, questions and answers. Then we worked in -pair +pairs asking those questions or others to each other.

Finally +, we also did exercises 1,2a,3, Reading and Listening 1,2a,3a about newspaper headlines and articles. 

We learned that newspaper headlines use the Present simple to talk about the past. To talk about -de +the future, headlines use the Infinitive with to. The verb be, articles, relative pronouns and auxiliary verbs are commonly missing from headlines.
