Groups: 902, 903 and 905

Hi there! What do you think of this unit that we have just started? I know that it might be a bit difficult to try to learn and use all the new words that we'll be checking here. So to begin with, I would like you to check the following:

http://www.languageguide.org/english/vocabulary/landscapes/

This site will help you to practice pronunciation on different words that have a lot to do with landscapes and cities. So listen and repeat each word as many times as you want, then choose 5 words and write a meaningful sentence with each of them trying to use the adjectives that we have just checked in class. Hand them in by Friday. See you. I hope you like this activity too.

Hi boys and girls! It's great to start working with you all! As you know I was absent for two days, so we have a lot of things to do to catch up on. (ponernos al corriente) . Anyway the first thing we will be doing is to practice with grammar, so I would like you to click on the following link and do the exercise on word order in questions. If your answer is correct you will have a tick, if it is not you will get a message saying "sorry try again"

I would really appreciate you to drop a comment about the activities you will be doing, if you like them or not, what else you would like to do and if you have another site that can be helpful for your classmates, feel free to share anything you want with us.
