Hi boys and girls! It's been a long time since we last got in touch with each other, anyway, as I know that the topic on verb patterns is quite extensive, I found a site that you may need to improve and consolidate your knowledge. The only thing that you have to do this time is: First click the first link to study the list of verb patterns found there, you decide if you want to print it or just to check it, it might be useful to print it though, then go to the following links, print the exercises and hand them out by Wednesday. Remember to check the answers on the page in case you have a doubt. Ok? Let's see the first link:

http://www.geocities.com/suzkeadie/tableverbpatterns.html

In this link you can find the list of verbs.

http://www.geocities.com/suzkeadie/gerinf.html

This is to practice verb + ing or infinitive

http://www.geocities.com/suzkeadie/verbobj.html

This is to practice the structure verb + object + infinitive

That's all see you in class, take care.

Groups 804 & 802

How are you doing? I hope everything is OK. I know that this new unit has a lot to do with physical appearance, and some of you find it really complicated to try to remember all the words which have just been introduced to you. However, I also know that these words are really useful for you all since we very often, need to describe a person's appearance. So, I found a very interesting site where you can learn much more vocabulary not only to describe faces, but the whole appearance, and personally speaking, this site will become one of your favourites because it has the exact words you need to know to describe someone. The funny thing, is that the site was created to help Engish-speaking people to learn Spanish! Here's the link:

Once you have checked this I want you to choose 10 words to make 10 sentences. The words must be of the different categories shown in the site, I mean, you can choose 2 about face, 1 about noses, 3 about hair, etc. Please try to choose the words which you find the most difficult to remember or use, and illustrate at least 5 of your 10 sentences using drawings, pictures or whatever you want. You have to show them to me by Wednesday in class.

Then you have to print the activity in the following link and hand it out by Friday, in this case, you have to write a synonym of the compound adjectives that you make on the right.

See you! Take care. Ah! I almost forget that this time it's a must to drop a line in the blog about what you think of the site and the activitiy. OK? Bye
