HABITS

This is the infographics we will use to learn about how to express habits in English.Have a look at it before our lesson, this way maybe you find it easier when the time comes, It's interactive, if you click on the icons a pop-up window will show up.

SPEAKING AND ORAL MEDIATION

Don't forget you have speaking for homework! Since we can't practice speaking as we usually do in class, it's very important you do the exercises for general speaking and oral mediation you can find in our online lesson planning.

Come on! Don't be shy! I know it can be a bit weird at first but you know you can record yourself as many times as you consider till you are satisfied with the result. Then, send the final file to your teacher.

Remember, the more you try, the more you will learn! 

We can do it, let's go for it! 

WRITING: A NIGHTMARE JOURNEY

Remember you have to write a story.
Go to 'Writing' to get the explanation below as a document. You can also get some samples of nightmare journeys to give you ideas.

When writing a short story, LANGUAGE is very important:

• Use past continuous for background information. For example – It was raining heavily as we left the house….
• Use past perfect before the main events of the story. but Anne had kindly lent me her umbrella.
• Use simple past for the main events. There wasn’t a single person on the street.

Include some of the following phrases to highlight the different parts of your plot and to help your reader follow the storyline:

Time phrases:  It all began… Shortly afterwards, Meanwhile, Some time later, Finally, In the end, Eventually,	Phrases for dramatic effect:  Suddenly, Without warning, Out of the blue, Just at that moment, Quite unexpectedly, As if from nowhere,
Concluding stories:  When it was all over, Looking back now, In the end,	Direct speech:  “…..”, said Fred “..…”, shouted Fred ”…..”, thought Fred

Now, it’s your turn… think of/invent a nightmare journey and include the following information:

- When was the journey?

- Where were you going? Who with? Why?

- What went wrong? What happened?

- What happened in the end?

CHEATERS vs INSPIRING PEOPLE

Cheaters never win, and winners never cheat ... unless you are one of these athletes. Who are some of the biggest cheaters in sport history? Have a look at this video and you will discover! You will also find the stories you read in class, and probably, a surprise at the end of the video!

 

Fortunately, there are some inspiring people, like Rick Hyot and his father, Dick. What makes them especial is the fact that Rick suffers from cerebral palsy since birth. They have competed together in several events, including marathons and triathlons. During competition Dick pulls Rick in a special boat as they swim, carries him in a special seat in the front of a bicycle, and pushes him in a special wheelchair as they ran. The Hyots did not finish the 2013 Boston Marathon, the last marathon they have run together. They had about a mile to go when two bombs exploded near the finish line, and were stopped by officials along with thousands of other runners still running the race. They were not injured.

This is their official page 

 Watch the video to know more about them, even though it's in original it has subtitles, remember that this is good listening practice!
