Class summary for November 21th.

Hi guys

Today we started class by working with the -photocopied +worksheet which was given +to us the +day before -day. First we corrected the grammar exercise about -[passives verb] +[passive verbs] and we continued doing the practice where we learned some new words:

*Puzzle (noun: a problem that cannot be easily or readily solved… those who solve this puzzle in the shortest time are eligible for awards. Verb: cause (someone) to feel confused because they cannot understand something. Ex: she was puzzled by the doctor's manner )

*Jigsaw puzzle (noun: a game consisting of a lot of differently shaped pieces). Ex: 100-piece jigsaw puzzles are easy, but a 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle takes days to put together.

*Crossword puzzle (a game in which you write words that are the answers to questions in a pattern of black and white squares). -Ex +Eg: Many people enjoy the New York Times crossword puzzle.

After +THAT [notes], we opened our students' book on page 17 and we did -the exercise 3a, 1grammar, 1a practice and 3a. We -[were forming] +FORMED adjectives with different prefixes and suffixes:

Prefixes that mean "the opposite of":

 un- (unsociable)

 in- (insecure)

 im- (impatient)

 dis- (dissatisfied)

Prefixes that modify the meaning of the adjective:

  Self-/good-/well-/better-/bad-/badly

  (Better-informed)

Suffixes that form adjectives

-able/-ble (confortable)

-ful (cheerful)

-(i)ous (ambitious)

-(i)ent (patient)

-y (sleepy)

-ic (terrific)

-ure (secure)

-ive (talkative)

-ed (depressed)

-íng (boring)

Finally, the teacher gave us a new photocopied with a checklist with instructions and -advices +advice [es incontable!] to create a functional writing.

Homework: Written Assignment

               Option A) A recommendation e-mail (whatever +topic you want)

               Option B) A complaint letter (whatever +topic you want)

               120 – 180 words
