Hello classmates!
At the beginning of class, we corrected the homework: practice 2 on page 138.
After -of that, we did the listening of exercise 2a on page 31. First we did -individual +[it individually] and -them +then, we -[were working] +[workED on it] in pairs. We -[were answering] +answerED the questions we had written down before. In this exercise, new vocabulary -has appeared:
o   CRAFT= skill and experience, especially in relation to making objects. (Artesanía) Example: How long have you been learning to make crafts?
Afterwards, we did vocabulary exercises 1, 2a and 3 on page 32 and we -[was practicing] +practicED speaking.
We found new words:
o   PM= Prime Minister
o   MP= Member of Parliament.

o   TO PASS LAW: aprobar una ley. Examples: The law was passed 3 weeks ago = It was made into law 3 week ago.

o   TIGHT= Apretado, ajustado.
o   TO TIGHTEN= to become tighter or to make something become tighter, firmer, or less easy to move. Apretar.
o   LOOSE= not tight. Suelto, flojo.

o   WIDTH= the distance across something from one side to the other. Ancho.
o   TO WIDEN= make more wide. Ensanchar.
o   TO BROADEN= to become wider, or to cause something to become wider. Ensanchar.

o   STRENGTH= force. Fuerza.
o   TO STRENGTHEN= to make something stronger or more effective, or to become stronger or more effective. Fortalecer.
o   WEAK= not strong, or not strong enough to work, last, succeed, persuade, or be effective. Débil
o   TO WEAKEN= to (cause to) become less strong. Debilitar

o   SUB + IS/ARE + GOING THROUGH = estar atravesando. Example: She's going -throught +through a lot these days.


Finally, we read the -[notices were] +headlines on page 33 and we did exercises 2a and 3a on page 32 about reading and listening. We wrote down some vocabulary:

o   DEBT= something, especially money, that is owed to someone else, or the state of owing something. Deuda. For example reimburse a debt (rembolso)
o   TO SET: to get something ready and prepared. Example: We all set (ya lo tenemos todo preparado)

This is all for you. We don't have to do any homework.
