TRAVEL AGENT

Last Monday, we play a activity that consisted of selling a trip to the classmates for they to get to know Where? Why? When? and How? to go. For my team and I was very easy to convince them because we have the city of Burlinghton (England) and with all the monuments and museums, night clubs, incredible gastronomy and beautiful hotels, we had it almost everything done! 

When each group finished the presentation, they went outside of the class for a minute while the other groups gave them 0, 5 or 10 points. At the end of the lesson we sum up all the points and only one group can be the winner!

Vancouver

The last Friday , We visited Vancouver a interesting and amazing city . It's a city of Canada , located west of the country near Victoria. In class we performed a project of Vancouver where we read a lot of brochures and we said what we'd like to visit. We had to get into groups of two and answer some questions.

PREZIS ABOUT TRAVELLING

What have we done in class today? 

Today in class we have seen the Prezis that our classmates had done. All the projects have been very interesting and enterteining, we have learned a lot of of things!

All the groups have showed their works of their trips and have explained the places they would go. When I have seen it I have longed to travel around the world.

Here are some examples of the Prezi presentation we did:

Traveling the world

Today, we watched some interesting videos about traveling. In the first one, a boy visited 11 countries in 44 days and he made two more videos about the food he ate in those places and also the activities he did in journey.

In the last video, we saw another boy that traveled around the world in only 10 days!

At the end, we also ordered famous quotes like <<In the end it is not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years>>.

Now we are preparing an activity in groups: we have to create a diary of our own trip around the world. In the second hour of class we went to the Computer Lab to start doing this because we must do it using Prezi to present it online.

Gradable task and other things

Last Friday, we read a text in public and the score depend of how well we didi it, the text was about yoga, it was an interesting text, because it talks about the president of India and how he explain the United Nations how important yoga is.

  After it, we played a game, it consisted in:

-First we organized in groups.

-Later we selected a judge and an actor.

-The actors performed sentences written on the board like they were acting, and the judges had to rate the performance.

The first sentence was "If you only knew how much it hurts" and this sentence reminded me one of my favourites songs Hurt of Johnny cash.

The second sentence was "I'm the master, the supreme master" and reminded me of another song, this is from Tenacious D movie, and it's called The history of Tneacious D, but the sentence reminded me of that song because the word supreme is repeated a lot at the end of the song.

Racism

I'm Belén, and I would like to talk about racisim. In the last class we had to read a text abou it, and we only were trying to make a perfect pronunciation but it's more than that, there was a post about racism, and here I'm goning to show you a video about it, just because I don't like racism at all.

Anyway the pronunciation was also important, I wish tomorrow you will get a good mark, good luck!!

English sounds: vowels and diphthongs

In this class of English we talked about English sounds, we have examples of each of the letters creating a list.  We reviewed the letters that we had already studied and also diphthongs.

What have we done in class?

In class today, we have given the pronunciation of the vowels of which seven are pronounced short form and five of longer form.
We played a game has teams had to form three groups of words to pronounce themselves equal.
We have also seen a video of the Mayor of Madrid, speaking in English and poor pronunciation and speaking.
With what I have come to the conclusion that the pronunciation in English is very important, because if you pronounce a word wrong; they can understand another word that is not, as can be (BEACH) and ("BITCH").
