Hi

• reviewed compound nouns and adjectives
• Spoke about the differences between men and women
• Listened to people talking about the differences between men and women
• Listened to how we use auxiliaries to add emphasis when we contradict someone
• Looked at and listened to some phrases which we add to the beginning of sentences to emphasise what we are going to say next.  (see student's book pages 93 and 94).

Monday 25th February

In today's class we:

• reviewed quantifiers
• looked at compound nouns and adjectives
• Read an article about women's roles and we read for gist and for specific meaning
• We dicussed in groups if we thought that women's and men's brains were different and if so, in what ways.  (See pages 92 and 93 in the student's book)

The homework is to read the grammar summary about compound nouns and adjectives which is on page 147 in the student's book V10.3

Wednesday 20th February

In today's class we looked at:  Quantifiers.  See student's book page 91.

Homework:

• Read G10.2 on page 149 in the student's book.  This gives a summary about quantifiers.
• Do 10B in the workbook - pages 56 and 57

Don't worry if you are finding this grammar point a little tricky.  It is quite complex and requires practise. After doing the homework, if you still feel you need more help, ask me and I will give you some more exercises to do.

See you next Monday.

See you Wednesday.

Hi

In today's class we looked in more detail at the following structures:

get/have something done
to get someone to do something
to do something yourself.

We did various exercises both written and spoken - see page 89 in the student's book for some of the work we covered.

Homework:

• Read G10.1 on page 148 in the student's book. This gives a good summary of these three grammar structures.
• Do 10A in the workbook.  Here you will find exercises related to the above grammar points and also some vocabulary exercises which practice the vocabulary connected to household jobs.

See you Monday - enjoy the weekend!

Hi

Welcome back!  I hope your exams have gone/are going well!

In yesterday's class we revised ways in which to make and respond to suggestions. 

We then looked at the Student's book page 88 and we learnt some vocabulary connected to household jobs. 

Finally we did listening and then looked at the grammar section on page 89 (have/get something done).

Homework:  Read G10.1 on page 148.

On Wednesday we will look more closely at this grammar point.
