Hi classmates!

The last -class lesson we started correcting different homework exercise of stories. With them, we learnt vocabulary and expressions about natural disasters. For example:

Vocabulary:

Terrifying - aterrado

Collapsed  -colapsado

Trapped beneath –atrapado debajo

Ruined - arruinado

Went up in flames – estallar en llamas

Triggered  - desencadenar (Bad)

Earthquare - terremoto

Waves -olas

Flee – huir

and expressions:

By the time – futuro  - its not the same than at the moment

We finally made it to Bali  - por fin fuimos a Bali

looking forward to doing – esperar algo

getting caught up in – estar metido en

After that, we practiced whit like // unlike; the difference between like and as; how to use Like + noun >> He speaks like a native speaker; As + clause >> Nobody sings as she does. Example:

   He speaks like a native speaker

   Nobody sings as she does

Actually, It´s easier to heard +an expression whit ' like + clause'  because it is used more and more.

' like there was no tomorrow.'

British people are very "poetic" by making comparisons, for example in this case

The rain poured down for days, like an endless waterfall from the skies

At the end of the lesson we talked about crimes and we -discuss +discussED different types of crimes.

jay walking – caminar por donde no se debe  -  Yes!!! It is a crime

arson - piromano ->arsonist

smuggling -contrabando

assault – asalto (in the street)

libel - difamación

a hold up –a mano armada

jobbery – corrupción (politician)

pickpocket – carterista

 I hope this is useful for you.
