Fwd: [eoi-english-2013-ni2c:14] Class summary

Thanks Patricia.

Don't get confused with this:

"Here you are" -- "aquí tienes" cuando no dices el qué (se sobreentiende). También significa "aquí estás", por ejemplo cuando encuantras a alguien que buscabas.

"Here you have the report" -- "aquí tienes el informe"

See you,

Hello guys,

Here you are the summary for last Wednesday:

At the beginning of class we saw some expressions included in the text called "Great sibling rivalries", on -page +pages 8 and 9.

Examples:

-"Hit the news": cuando algo se convierte en noticia.

-"Put each other down": menospreciar a alguien.

-"To fall out": alejarse, distanciarse.

-"Beauty fades but a sister is for life": la belleza desaparece pero una hermana es para siempre.

Later, we worked on exercises 1a, 2 and 3a on page 9. You have here some opposites to the phrases:

-To feel threatened by ≠ to feel reassured

-To have a lot in common ≠ to be poles apart

-To get on with each other ≠ not to bear someone / cannot put up with

-To be loyal ≠ to betray someone

To finish the lesson, we described some relationships on exercise 4a.

That's all we did last day.

See you soon.

Patricia

Dropping or not "to" and "it" in answers

This point came up in some classes the last day. I believe many of you still have problems with this. If you need extra explanations, ask me in class.

"to" standing for the infinitive

want to // like it // I know // I know it

Hello guys: 

We started the lesson by correcting homework on pages 131 and 132 of the student's book. +The Topics were present and past tenses and +the uses of auxiliary verbs. 

Then we worked in pairs -[with the] +on exercice 3a on page 11,  practicing the use of auxiliary verbs again. 

After that, on page 8 of the student's book, we continued to work in pairs speaking about ourselves. 

We learnt: 

-a new word (sibling): brother or sister

-a new expression (hand-me-down): every Winter, I have to use my brother's hand-me-down jackets. 

-and we remembered different -[word of] +[words relating to] the family (stepbrother, stepsister, half-brother, half-sister). 

+Some Classmates and Mr. Moises had a different point of view about what a stepbrother or stepsister in spanish is. 

See you tomorrow.

Hello guys!

Yesterday, we continued +with/on -the Unit 1 +[of the] Student´s Book about Friendships. We did exercises 2a-b-c, 3 and 4 on page 10 and exercise 1a-b on page 11 to learn new vocabulary about relationships and the use of auxiliary verbs to express  for example surprise or emphasis. Some exercises are "listening" +exercises, and you can read these conversations on page 167.

[you should have all the audios  in the CD that comes with the book. That's actually the one I use in class]

In these exercises, new vocabulary has appeared:

- To manage /ˈmæn.ɪdʒ/ : to succeed in doing something, especially something difficult.

-To disclose /dɪˈskləʊz/ : to make something known publicly, or to show something that was hidden.

-To talk sb out of sth  /tɑːk/  : to persuade someone not to do something.

-To let down /let/ : to disappoint someone by failing to do what you agreed to do or were expected to do.

-To cheat on /tʃiːt/ : If you cheat on your husband, wife, or usual sexual partner, you secretly have a sexual relationship with someone else.

Besides, the teacher has reminded us +of the confusion -of +[over/with the] word "Sympathethic"

- Sympathetic  /ˌsɪm.pəˈθet.ɪk/ : describes someone who shows, especially by what they say, that they understand and care about someone's suffering.

Learning it is important and he recommends -us to memorize some examples. [Careful this verb is not used like in Spanish, the pattern changes:
http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/recommend?q=recommend]

Finally, we have to do +some homework, the exercises Practice1 on pages 131 and Practice2 on page 132.

 See you on Thursday!

Hi classmates

Let me explain what we did in class yesterday.

We listened +TO an audio tape (for three or four times, until we understood ) about Maz and +her friends and we did some exercices about it. Page 10 of the book.

We learnt about uses of auxiliary verbs.
Examples

- I need holidays. - I do need holidays.	-	- Necesito vacaciones. - Realmente necesito vacaciones.
- I like spicy food. - I do like spicy food.	-	- Me gusta la comida picante. - Me gusta mucho la comida picante.

¡CUIDADO! Cuando enfatizamos en pasado, "do" pasa a ser "did" y el verbo principal se pone en presente:

- I walked the dog this morning. - I did walk the dog this morning.

-

- Saqué al perro esta mañana. - Claro que saqué al perro esta mañana.

For questions -tagd +tags I suggest you visit the web shttp://www.shertonenglish.com/resources/es/questions/questions-tags.php

We did more exercices.(Language focus 2,1 and 2 of page 10)

We did +the practice of page 11 exercice 1a, 1b and 2.

Some vocabulary about relationships

Homework: practice 1 exercices 1 and 2  of page 131-132 and practice 2 exercices 1 to 3 on page 132 too.

I hope I've helped you with my poor summary.

See you tomorrow,

bye

Antonia Martin

Hello, guys!

I'm Olga. Mr. Moises asked me to write a summary for last monday (and later, also you will make it!). Here you are.

1. We started the class by correcting the exercises on pages 131 and 132.

2. After that, we read the text on pages 8 and 9, and we worked on it:

          -we made exercices 1 to 4 on page 8;

          -we saw some words based on relationships, such as:

          sibling: hermano, -a;

          only child: hijo único;

          rivalry: rivalidad; [careful with pronunciation]

          close: cercano, íntimo;

          boast = brag: presumir, alardear, jactarse: She boasted that she had an Oscar;

          

          -some expressions:

          to resemble = to look alike: parecerse; look like: parecerse a... We look alike (Nos parecemos), I look like my sister

           (Me parezco a mi hermana);

          to take after sombody: "tener" (parecerse) algo de alguien: I take after my father;

          to be close to: estar muy cerca de...: I'm close to my sister;

          on your side: de tu lado: Your mather is on your side;
[also, to side with = to take sides  = ponerse de parte de ...]

          to feel lonely or to be alone: I'm feel lonely, even if I'm not alone;

          -some particular family of words:

          an heir /er/: heredero; an heiress /'eress/; heredera; to inherit: heredar; inheritance: herencia;

          jealous (adj.): celoso; jealousy (n.): celos, envidia;

          loathe (v) /loud/: detestar; loath (adj) /lou0/: detestado, aborrecido;

3. Also, the teacher wanted to remind us the four words starting by +[a mute] h--[ not pronounced]:

          

          heir, hour, honest, honour [Ta!]

And I think -[it is] +that's all!

See you!

Olga

Tense review

Hi guys,

I link below some exercises for further work on tense usage. It seems simple enough, but often times it's not. Browse the exercises and work on them as needed. Answer key is enclosed.
