Monday 17th December

In today's class we looked briefly at the progress tests - in general you all did well although some of you need to review vocabulary.  There were also some problems with "wishes"  so we are going to look again at this next lesson.

We also looked at entertainment adjectives and we talked about films to practice this vocabulary.  Finally we looked at some grammar: so, such, as, like and such as.
The homework for today is:

• Read Student's book page 144 G8.1 and review wishes - especially if you having problems with this.

Hi,

In today's class we did a progress test - reviewing the material we covered in unit 8 - I will mark the tests and give them back to you on Monday.

We also looked at some vocabulary:  verbs which are easily confused and adverbs which are easily confused. 

Great to see you all using these words correctly - I will be listening out for mistakes over the coming weeks.

Don't forget that your homework is to check you know the meaning of the adjectives at the top of page 80 in student's book and to think of a film, T.V programme, or T.V series for each adjective.  On Monday, we will be looking at these adjectives in more detail.

Have a nice weekend!  Keep warm!

Hi All,

In today's class we revised the passive:  We did some grammar exercises using the passive in various forms; we did some speaking activities using the passive in pairs and in groups, we played a passive domino game and we did some writing in pairs.

Your newspaper articles were great - very funny!  Overall you used the passive well

The homework is: 
9A in the workbook
Revise unit 8  - on Wednesday we are going to do a test on the material covered in unit 8.

Monday 3rd November

In today's class we reviewed unit 8 - we looked at some of the exercises on page 77 student's book.
We also looked at the workbook at portfolio 10 - a discursive essay pages 88, 89.  We looked at some useful connecting words which I hope will be useful for you when you do your written project.  If you need any help with your projects, please ask me.
