Hi classmates!

Last Friday, we did some activities on page 21. The first activity consists [1]  in some grammar exercise, the second activity was [1] pronunciation, and the last was some practice activities about the grammar we learned.

The first grammar activity

1)   The noun suxffixes usually used for people [for people, abstract concepts, and many other]. For example:

-ANCE/ENCE -confidence -endurance	-OUR/IOUR -behaviour	-ISM [Cuidado! creo que lo quieres pronunciar bien, pero lo escribes mal!] -criticisim -racisim -capiitalisim	-AGE -average -marriage
-SHIP -friendship -relationship -intership +internship	-ER -employer -plumber -worker	-EE -employee -payee -interviewee	-IST -comformist -racist

2) we often describe the opposite of nouns with "LACK OF". For example:

4) Gerunds are -use +used in the same way as a nouns and can be the subject or object of the sentence. For example:

anxiety       conformist            employee             loneliness

exhaustion relationship          criticisim              security

The last activity was practice

We did exercises one and two. +In The first one we had to fill the gaps with the ending of each noun -was in brackets, and +in the second +[, ] complete the gaps with the noun or gerund form of the words in brackets.
