Hi classmates!

      We started the class by doing Task Speaking on page 22, 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, 3a and 3b, using the three paragraphs of the table USEFUL LANGUAGE, on page 23.

      We also did exercices 1 and 2 Follow up writing on page 23

      -Of +About grammar, the teacher explained -us [1] that sometimes putting a verb in infinitive or in gerund -change +changeS the meaning, for instance:
I stopped to look at the views - Me detuve a mirar las vistas

I stopped looking at the views - Dejé de mirar las vistas

      After that, we learned some new expressions:

- Excuse me, can I get -passed +past [2] [I myself might have misspelt this last day; they sound the same, but the grammar is different] ? / Perdón, puedo pasar

- I think I'll skip that one  /  Eso te lo voy a pasar, en el sentido de "Eso no cuenta"

- To sleep in / To sleep longer than usual

      In adittion, we learned how not to confuse the meaning of:

- Scare, to feel fear or alarm "Dogs scare me""

- Thrill, to feel emotion or pleasure "It was a thrill to see Rome for the first time"

- Creepy, making you feel frightened "It was a creepy film"

      Finally, we discussed about how to pronounce -diferents +different [CAREFUL: adjetivo en plural!] words like: beer, bird, bear, beard....About this, the teacher -tell +told us that he is going to send +some material -of +on "pares mínimos", and Antonia has -sended +sent us a lot of pages linked with this topic. I send you another one.
