DIDEPA STUDENTS

Hi there, I hope you have had a wonderful weekend. As you know, in the following class we will be working with two important skills: reading and writing. Let me tell you that I found a very interesting website where you can learn and practice some idioms which are common in informal written and spoken English, but tend to be avoided in academic writing. You'll find this activity very useful since as non-native speakers, writing is not really our thing. The activity you will have to do is like an introduction to the activities we will be doing later in class.

Idioms and academic writing

Then you'll be doing an exercise on different types of reports, if you don't know the answers, that means that you will have to do some research, but don't worry, as I will take into consideration the fact that you have tried to do it, not that you have done it correctly.

Types of reports

As you know, you have to send me your score of both activities by Wednesday until 2:00 pm.

See you and take care

Hello! I hope you have had a wonderful week. This week as you know, we will be working with the topic of a good story" and among other things that  you need to learn, you have to increase your vocabulary about "verbs of manner", yes I said verbs of manner not adverbs of manner. These verbs help us to make a more lively story. And as we are going to see a lot of things about it, we have to increase our vocabulary on ways of looking, drinking, breathing, walking, laughing. So the first thing is "ways of looking" Go to the following click, study the verbs you will find there, and with the last 7, the ones that are "verbos más descriptivos" write 7 different sentences, try to write meaningful ones, or  mini-conversations with them and give them to me on Wednesday in class.

Do the worksheet 1 and the worksheet 2. Remember do not check the answers until you have finished, these worksheets have an answer sheet for you to check, so we don´t need to check the answers in class, unless you have a special question or doubt. This activity is to consolidate what we have seen in class.


PHRASAL VERBS

Then, the second activity is on phrasal verbs about work, because the following unit of the book is about this topic. So click on the following link, you'll find some phrasal verbs with their definitions and examples, once you have learned them, go to the end of the page and only do exercises 1 and 2, you don't have to do the excersice 3. When you finished, print your score and give it to me in class. Remember, this is a pre-activity to help you familiarize with the new vocabulary and it's important for you to do it. See you and have a nice weekend.
