Class summary for Math 18th

Hi classmates!

      We started the class by doing exercises 1,2 and 3a on page 49, using colloquial language. We learned the meaning of colloquial words and phases:

            -All right? = How are you?

            -What’s up? = What are you doing?

            -Stressed up = frustrated

            -He’s doing my head in = “Me está poniendo la cabeza como un bombo”

            -Chill out = Calm down

            -Rip off = “Timo”

            - How come? = “¿De donde viene eso?”

            -He just can’t help himself = “No puede evitarlo”

      After that, We did exercise 1b, 2 and 3 (online dating). Everyone discussed the questions giving several reasons. We had to think up the advantages and disadvantages of online dating websites and we learned how +to know whether a profile is mostly lies.

Some vocabulary we learned about this:

            -To stretch the truth = “estirar la verdad”

            -White lies = “mentiras piadosas”

            -To take with a pinch of salt = “tener cautela, ciertas reservas”

            -To be economical with the truth = “no decir toda la verdad”

      Finally, we worked in groups, and we practiced short conversations in which we had to answer a phase with mind (pag 39)

      See you on next day!

    

Rosario
