Class summary for February 6 th

Hello classmates!

At the beginning of class, we read the article on page 38 and we answered the questions in exercise 3. After that ,we learnt a poem by Philip Larris Larkin,who wrote very hard words about his family.

The poem is this:

They fuck you up , your mum and dad

They may not mean to, but they do

They fill you with the faults they had

And add some extra ,just for you

But they were fucked up in their turn

By fool in old stile hats and coats

Who half the time were soppy -stern

And half at one another´s throats

Man hands on misery to man

It deepens like a coastal shelf

Get out as early as you can,

And don´t have any kids yourself.

We saw new vocabulary that had appeared it.
