I played the piano last Sunday

I didn't play the piano last Sunday

Did you play the piano last Sunday?

HOY PRESENTAMOS LOS VERBOS IRREGULARES.

SON VERBOS CUYO PASADO NO SE FORMA AÑADIENDO -ED, SINO QUE SU PASADO ES OTRA PALABRA DIFERENTE, A VECES SE PARECE AL PRESENTE (COME-CAME) Y OTRAS NO SE PARECE NADA (GO-WENT)

En inglés PAST SIMPLE.

Si un verbo como 'PLAY' que significa jugar:  I PLAY FOOTBALL ON SUNDAYS lo quiero poner en pasado para decir que jugué al fútbol ayer, tengo que hacer un pequeño cambio en el verbo:

                                              Añadimos -ED

Por ejemplo: I   PLAYED  FOOTBALL YESTERDAY.

Con la mayoría de los verbos es así. Sabéis por otros cursos que hay una larga lista de verbos irregulares, pero de momento nos quedamos con estos.

Os añado un video que lo explica y unos enlaces a ejercicios para practicar.

Para la negación, ya sabéis que utilizamos DIDN'T y entonces hay que quitar la -ED   ¡OJO!😦 y lo mismo con las preguntas:

I PLAYED FOOTBALL
I DIDN'T PLAY FOOTBALL (no jugué al fútbol)
DID YOU PLAY FOOTBALL? Yes I did     No, I didn´t

Tomad notas de cada cosa nueva que presentemos y estudiad poco a poco.
Nos vemos mañana.

3º C/A and 3ºB/D (María Murgui's students)

Hello everybody. 
Starting the week.

Today I am posting a couple of videos on REPORTED SPEECH.

In my opinion, they are quite good and clear and I ALSO  recommend you  reading  pg  113-114 where it says : UNIT 7  REPORTED SPEECH

Make sure you understand the examples on the book. Read them carefully and see if you clearly see the changes from 'direct speech' to 'indirect speech'.

Direct speech:  TOM:  I like music
Reported speech: TOM SAID THAT HE LIKED MUSIC
and after that watch the videos below and do activities 2 and 3 on page 81.

see you tomorrow

1º BACHILLERATO A/D

Good morning and we are starting a new week:

Remember to send the activities. Deadline is TODAY!!!!

Weekly reading practice from your book

CULTURE 1 
The legend of King Arthur  (pg 108 Students' book)

Do activities 1,2,3. 
Activity 1 says 'speaking' but in fact you are asked for the answers in activity 2.
Activity 3 requires answering questions.

*THE LISTENING ACTIVITY 

Remember tu keep record of all the texts that we are reading.
Tomorrow I will post some ADVANCED GRAMMAR PRACTICE for general revision and the answers for today's activities.

2º BACHILLERATO A

UNIT 10 WORKBOOK

Starting a new week.

Today I am posting the answers to the VOCABULARY activities on the workbook on page 76.

No need to advice that the best thing is to do the exercises trying to remember the words and then check.

1. COLOUR IDIOMS.
-COMPLETE THE SENTENCES
1.  red     2. green   3. golden   4. blue   5. red   6. purple

SOME USEFUL ADVICE:
Pick a couple of days for doing English activities.
Do everything that is required/posted on one of the days and study vocabulary, structures (whatever) for a couple of hours.
The second day for another couple of hours you can do Evau tests.
or
You can do one of the tests each day and the activities divided into two parts.

IT IS JUST AN IDEA IN CASE IT HELPS!!!

2º BACHILLERATO A

Hoy toca REPASO

Espero que esteis haciendo las tareas que os pongo en los enlaces. Ya sabéis que las podéis corregir vosotros solos.

Hoy toca repasar las descripciones. Estudiamos en su momento adjetivos para describir el aspecto físico de las personas y también aparecían en el libro adjetivos para describir la personalidad.
Aunque en el vídeo aparecen algunas palabras nuevas, seguro que os acordáis de muchas.

En el vídeo aparecen varios personajes. Ved el vídeo hasta el final y luego lo volvéis a poner.
Elegid el que más os guste y copiad las frases en rojo de ese personaje. Las copiáis en inglés y luego las traducís.
Si me las enviáis al correo   inlochness@gmail.com podré verlo. No hace falta que adjuntéis ninguna hoja. Ponedla directamente en el propio correo, así yo lo devuelvo corregido de una manera mucho más fácil.

VÍDEO:

He recibido noticias de algunos de vosotros, pero no sé nada de la mayoría. Por favor, si veis este post, me escribís y me decís HOLA , para que yo vea que leéis las cosas. Es importante que lo hagáis. Cuando volvamos estos días han contado como día de clase.

Un abrazo a todos y espero que nadie esté enfermito.

3º ESO C/A

3ºC/A

Hi everybody .
I hope today we have new visitors from the other group B/D.
Write an email and say HI if you are from Maria Murgui's group :  inlochness@gmail.com  or if you have any question or whatever. Do not hesitate. Feel confident.

HARRY POTTER AND THE SECRET CHAMBER

I hope you haven't forgotten that dear Harry and friends are going to be with us this last term.

I have reminded you several times that the best way to read the book is to do it by dividing it into parts for each week and I recommended you to read up to chapter 4 (or 5) during this week.

I have some questions that I would like you to answer on a separate piece of paper.

I will be adding other questions or activities (even drawings) for the next weeks until we finish this peculiar time and even when we come back,  because I am picking the activities on paper.

So, start your TRABAJO/PROYECTO or whatever you want to call it and add the activities as they appear.

QUESTIONS FOR THIS WEEK:

Describe Harry's feelings for Hogwarts, his school, as compared to the Dursley house where he lives with his aunt and uncle from what is detailed in Chapter One.

Give one word that explains Vernon Dursley's reaction when Harry says "magic" in Chapter One. Explain why you have given this word.


SHORT ANSWER:

Dobby says he has always known about Harry Potter’s greatness, but not his goodness. What is the difference?

Harry is famous for defeating Lord Voldemort as a baby. This is what Dobby means by Harry's greatness: his heroic role in this legend. When Dobby meets Harry, he finds that Harry empathizes with the house-elf, wants to help him, and ultimately sets him free. This goodness, this care for the powerless, comes as a result of Harry's own suffering: his powerlessness, isolation, and neglect growing up with the Dursleys.



OPTIONAL:
There are many interesting things in the wizarding world. Make out a school lunch menu for Hogwarts. It can be either for a day or week. Be creative and descriptive. Be sure to give warnings, side effects, and ingredients or pictures where necessary 

1º BACHILLERATO A/D

Hi everybody

Today I am including a link for grammar/self-correction exercises on unit 2 mainly.

https://www.esl-lounge.com/student/grammar-exercises-advanced.php

On this site, you will see a section that says WISHES and REGRETS. Don't do that part.

The rest is mainly conditionals (third type ) and inversions. 

It is recommended to practice, so you don't lose track.

Here is some listening practice too:

https://learnenglishteens.britishcouncil.org/skills/listening/upper-intermediate-b2-listening/boy-bands

https://learnenglishteens.britishcouncil.org/skills/listening/upper-intermediate-b2-listening/high-achieving-teenagers

Maybe one of the listenings I upload here will be one of your tests

IF YOU READ THIS, SEND AN EMAIL AND SAY   HI TEACHER!😍

2º BACHILLERATO A

Hi everybody!

TODAY just a thing:

I have sent to your email (only 14 of you whose writings I have received) a link to a FOLDER in the DRIVE which includes TWO inner folders.
The red one contains a couple of EVAU practices, two different texts.
The green one is empty because I want you to UPLOAD your answers there.

If you haven't got a gmail account, you probably won't be able to upload your answers, so you can send it to the email as usual. If you have a gmail account, then it is easy, upload your sheet with the answers.

I find this method easier. I thought we would be out of school for a couple of weeks, but now it seems it is going to be longer, so I have to think of other possibilities.

About UNIT 10: the unit on the book is finished. I will post the answers for the workbook next week. I am afraid we have time.

I will include some links for readings and listenings these days. These are totally voluntary work, for you not to miss practise.

I am considering the possibility of testing your SPEAKING by you recording your performance and uploading it to the DRIVE, but it is just an idea I have to think over.

ONE LAST THING:
IN MY OPINION, DEADLINE FOR YOUR ACTIVITIES IS MORE THAN ENOUGH.
YOU HAVE HAD ONE WEEK FOR THE WRITING
YOU HAVE ONE WEEK FOR THE EVAU PRACTICES.
MORE THAN ENOUGH
I DON'T WANT TO SOUND STRICT BUT IF YOU DON'T SEND YOUR ANSWERS ON TIME, YOUR MARK WILL BE.....YOU KNOW.

WHEN WE COME BACK WE WILL HAVE EXAMS AS USUAL....AND....WE WON'T HAVE TIME TO REPEAT ANYTHING. SORRY.

😉😉😍
