Hi everybody,

     I,m going to -talk +tell you about the summary of +T -thursday, 11th of March.

•      At the beginning of the class, we corrected +the exercises on page 143 about future forms:

               1.- Plans and decisions in the future:

                            Will: for decision made at the moment of speaking
                                         A: Have you -decides +decided what to wear to the party?                               
                                         B: I´ll just wear my red dress
                            BE CAREFUL: If+Will-----Se matan ( (idem with when, after, in case, as long as, as soon as, once, unless, until,etc)
                           Be going to: present intentions for the future         
                                        Next year, I´m going to travel to Australia   
                           Present Continuous:  for plans we have arranged for the future
                                         I´m getting married in June
                         The use of Going to and the Present continuous is very similar, the difference is how -[of fixing is the plan] +[ fixed / determined / certain the plan is]
                                         I´m going to get married before I´m 30
                                         I´m getting married in June
                          Present Simple: For actions in the future set with a regular timetable or officially
                                        The match begins at 9 o´clock
                          Future continuous: For actions that will happen without any particular plan or intention.
                                       Do you want a lift? I´ll be passing +by the end of your road.
                         Other phrases: I´ve decided to..., I´m hoping to..., I´m planning to..., I´m thinking of...
                         The meaning of future of  these structures -are +is in  meaning of the verb, not in the tense
                    
               2.- Predictions:
                      When the predictions -is +are based on evidences
                                      (there are a lot of black clouds) Tomorrow it´s going to rain
                     When the predictions -is +are based on beliefs
                                       Don´t worry, she´ll understand it
                     To express a simple fact about the future
                                      My birthday will be on Saturday this year
                    Other phrases to make predictions: to be certain to..., to be likely..., to be bound..., I bet...
                                      My mother is bound to buy me a pair of shoes for my birthday

• Then, we did Practice of Unit 05  on page 47 to complete with the correct future form, but sometimes there is more than one correct answer, besides -We +we don´t know the full context of the conversations.

• Some vocabulary and expressions that we learned this day:

Do you fancy coming?= Te apetece venir
I tell you what= Sabes lo que te digo?
To win s/b or s/t over= ganarse a alguien o algo. He won me over
Produce (n)= producto de la tierra y Product (n)= Producto en general

• Finally we practiced our listening skills by doing a "pilot" listening exam-[,] +[.] I -[don´t fell] +[didn't feel / don't think it was] very difficult, the only problem +was the distraction factor.
  

That`s all friends

Almudena
