Hello classmates:

We started the lesson by correcting homework on pages 134  and 135 of the student's book about forming adjectives, nouns and gerunds.

Secondly the teacher explained a few  Common mistakes which he thought were worth some reviewing:

      -           We don`t say "the" when the page or the exercise is determined by the number. 

               We did the exercise 10 on the page 12.

     -          When the complement of -way +manner is a gerund  it -(he) is introduced by the preposition "by". 

               We started the class by checking the homework.

     -          +Take care with the use of  the perfect times. It  -belongs +is different  from the Spanish. They never use  "ayer hemos visto la unidad          3". They use simple past:

              Yesterday / Last day we -[have seen] +saw the first page of unit 3.

     -           They use perfect times to connect two moments.

     -          Care translating " were making 7 the exercise(fiscal year) " for " we were doing exercise 7 ". [????]

     -          When they want to speak about a "photocopy" with notes and exercises they  normally use "worksheet".

     -          The word "advice" is -incontable +uncountable. Never use advices.

Apart from that we learnt  vocabulary and expressions , for example:

     -          Worksheet:  is a specially prepared page of exercises designed to improve your knowledge or understanding of a particular          subject.  

    -          Weed out: dispense with, eliminate, eradicate…

    -          To cuddle: If you cuddle someone, you put your arms round them and hold them close as a way of showing your affection.  

    -          Stuck with: If you are stuck with something that you do not want, you cannot get rid of it.  

Then, we turned to page 22 and we did exercise 1 and 2. We worked in pairs. We started by answering the questions of exercise one. Later we listened to five people answering one of the questions and we  had to -know +guess what question +[the speaker] answered -[the speaker]. Finally, we did the listening again.

This is all we did in class, and the teacher did not tell us to do homework.
