WORLD BOOK DAY

As you well know, on 23 April, World Book Day is celebrated all over the world. In 1995 UNESCO decided that the World Book and Copyright Day would be celebrated on 23 April, as the date is the anniversary of the death of Miguel de Cervantes and William Shakespeare, probably the two most aclaimed writers in the world. In a historical coincidence, Cervantes and Shakespeare died on the same date, 23 April 1616.

In Spain this is a day to encourage reading and the enjoyment of literature. Due to this COVID-19 thing, this year it will be different. Neither we will go out to get that book we want as a gift for a beloved one or just for ourselves nor others will do it for us. However, we can still enjoy reading something new without having to leave home. For that, here you have our school magazine, SABIR, on his new edition, which includes the 12 Greek Mythology stories and an African one that you wrote.

Hot off the press, take it as a present from our school on this day and as an invitation to experience the world of letters in a different way.

By Clicking on the top right corner, it will open on an external window. Would you like to have it? Then, get it as a PDF document.

Enjoy!!!

REVISE&CHECK

As you well know, each two units, there's a section in your book called "Revise and check". So we have Revise and Check for units 1-2, for units 3-4, for units 5-6 ... Once, you asked me about this section and I told you not to worry, that one day we would use it. Well, with all this coronavirus thing, we can't use it in the way I had planned. However, we can do it in a different way.

Since I know you are going through everything we have studied so far, why don't you use it on your own? You already have the exercises on your book, so you can do them, and if you go to Exam Practice, you will find the key and the videos needed to work on your own.

Come on, let's go for it! Even in the distance, on a computer, we can do it!!!

PRONUNCIATION OF -ED, REGULAR VERBS

You have shown problems when it comes to pronounce the past of regular verbs. To pronounce the past simple of the regular verbs we have to have in mind that it is the sound which is important, not the letter or the spelling. So, how do we pronounce the past of the regular verbs? Remember: in three different ways.

- When the verb ends in sound /t/ or /d/ ------> /id/

- When the verb ends in an unvoiced sound (/p/,/f/,/s/,/sh/,/ch/,/k/ -----> the final sound is /t/

- When the verb ends in a voiced sound (the rest) ------> /d/

	/d/		/t/		/id/
	lived		worked		waited
	arrived		stopped		hated
	played		asked		ended

Now watch the video below to learn and listen to the different sounds of the past of the regular verbs.




Time for you to practise. Next time you have to send a recording to your teacher, pay attention to regular verbs in the past or perfect tenses. Come on, don't be shy, you can do it!!!!! Remember that theory without practice is nothing.

HAPPY EASTER!!!
