This is the end... my only friend, the end...

We are almost at the end of our course, level 5 and I hope everybody can make it and suceed. I'm soon finishing correcting all your texts for you to have a look at your writing.

Well, here's is the list of contents for this test.

Face the music: This is when we had our oral presentations and got to talk about music, bands, kinds of music, etc. Here we used adjectives ending with "ED" and "ING," and we expressed our opions by saying "I agree" or "I disagree," and used question tags.

Famous people: We talked about fame and success and listened to short biographies of Jackie Chan and Gloria Stephan. We also did an activity where we learned words like pen name, seudonim, etc.

The way things used to be: We read two texts "investing in memories" and "the selective memory" (with a lot of vocabulary, by the way). In this we talked and wrote about our childhood memories. We learned and practiced the use of "used to" and "would" to describe ideas in the past.

Cold, lost and hungry: Here we read the story in two people who had a scary fishing trip. We coverred the topic of joining ideas using "while," "as," "as soon as" and "when." This was particularlty difficult so I gave you a handout with explanations in the lab.

Can money buy happiness?: We mainly talked about some people with a lot of money and wrote about "What would you do if you won $200.000.000 in the lotery"

Fictional Heores never die: We talked about cartoon and TV heroes. We saw the present perfect continuos and present perfect. At the end of the class we played a game about the past tense, which I think was fun.

How we met: Here we made a revision of past continuous. We listened to two people saying how they had met.

We also included the use of passive voice and reported speech, but I'm going to evaluate passive voice only.

Dear students,

I hope this week and the next can be venturous. As we talked in class we are about to finish. We have 8 hours to go, which means we are going to finish on Friday 15th of June with everything. Today I gave you a homework of writing 100 words where you answer this question "What would you do if you won the lottery" I hope you bring it tomorrow.

The final listening exam will be on the 15th of June. The second written test will be on Monday 11th, with oral part on Tuesday (Seba, Cris, Rod and Luis) and Wednesday (Claudia, Naty, Maca and Karina) If you haven't chosen your day, do it ASAP. On Thursday I'm planing to provide some practice for the final listening.

That's all for now guys. See you in class tomorro (or today.)

Your teacher
