Tues 27/11/12

Hello
In class we welcomed José to the group, and we cleared up queries arising from last week's grammar h/w (3rd conditional + "wish", etc). As this seemed problematic, we did extra practice, both oral and in the form of a game. For those that wanted it I gave out a photocopy of mechanical exercises to do at home.
I also reminded the class that in theory there will be no class next Tuesday (4/12/12)due to my operation, but to check the blog and EOI website just in case the surgery is cancelled/postponed

Yesterday (Thurs 22/11) we did a difficult gap-fill exercise based on the text "Desiderata" and some speaking. We haven't checked the grammar exercises yet.

Hello all

Yesterday (Tues) we cleared up a query regarding how to use "despite"/"in spite of"; we read a text on "words of wisdom" (2.1 in the SB) and discussed our opinions; and we started looking at 3rd conditionals (alternative forms) and regrets.

Hi everyone

If you weren't in class on Thursday, the most important thing we did was eat Marta's cake! We also watched  the video on Venice and looked at some colloquial language from a photocopied sheet
