Hello classmates!

At the beginning of class, we reviewed the articles on pag 33 and we saw new vocabulary and expressions that had appeared -on it.

treat /triːt/ algo sorpresa.                 Example: I'm going to treat myself to a new pair of sandals.
The pair /per/ = a couple, pareja
Sympathise /ˈsɪm.pə.θaɪz/ empatizar
Face up /feɪs ap/, enfrentarse a algo
Faze /feɪz/, alarmarse
At the time, en ese momento.
At this time (present)
In a moment (future)
Out of, movido por               Example: I look for a job out of necessity
Spied on, espiar a
Confesse to               Example: I confess to stealing your money
Up to, hasta
In the meantime, entre tanto

After that, we did the listening on page 32 exercise 5. New expressions in this exercise.

- The judge handed down a suspended sentence he imposed a 5 € fine. (dicto/impuso)
- At the trial it emerged that.
- The prosecutor droopped the charges against him (retiro los cargos)
- She admitted to reading his text messages (después de preposición gerundio)
- He descirbes himself as "-relieve +relieved but angry" (aliviado)
- Neither the police nor the Authority have been in touch (en contacto)
- So it looks like Mr Handl won't be prosecuted after all (parece que)

Doubtful (dudoso)

Also we did exercise 1 a and b on pag 34.

Finally, we learnt some vocabulary and new expressions.

In time, llegar a tiempo                   Example: If we don't hurry up, we won't be in time to catch the train.
On time, llegar a la hora a la que se la esperaba               Example: His flight arrived on time.

To bargain /ˈbɑː.ɡɪn/, regatear

Bear with me madam, espere un momento
Give -up possibility, dar la posibilidad [bring (up) the possibility to...]
Valet /ˈvæl.eɪ/,someone at a hotel or restaurant who puts your car in a parking space for you.

The museum houses some Roman artifacts (alberga)
Let's call it €20 (vamos a dejarlo)
Let's call it a day (vamos a dejarlo por hoy)


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

See you on Thursday
