Classes 13-14. Tuesday-Thursday 04-06/11

Hello!
 

This week we´ve started a new topic today "Somewhere to live". We were revising some vocabulary (living-room, kitchen, bedroom, furniture, cooker, sofa etc.).
For extra vocabulary practice check please Aula Virtual, there you can find pdf files with the vocabulary.

You can also practise on-line - "Furniture and Rooms Game" .

Look at the picture and compare it with your house/flat. What is there in your house/flat?

We´ve also learnt some grammar - How much...?/How many...?
How much space is there in the flat?
How many chairs are there in the kitchen?
 

We can also use demonstratives in our daily life - when we go shopping:
How much is this newspaper?
How much are those tissues?
How much is that magazine?
How much are those postcards?

You can play a funny game - "How much is this?"and practise the prices in English.

We´ve revised some grammar (there is/there are) and the use of a/some/any.  

To get some more practice watch a video "There is/there are".

There´s some furniture in the living room.
There aren´t any plants in the flat.
Is there any space in the room?

Also we revised the demonstrative adjectives (this/these, that/those):

This is my jacket. These are my glasses.
That dog is my neighbour´s. Those jeans are expensive.

                                                                                                                                              

Watch the video "This, That, These and Those" if you want to practise more.

We were also listening to a conversation between a client and estate attendant.
What is important for you when renting a flat (price, location, space, equipment)? 

 

We´ve done some Role Play on the topic "Renting a Flat", asking questions and giving details about the flat:
Where is the flat?
What floor is it on?
What is there near the house? Is there a supermarket, bus stop, chemist´s nearby?
How many rooms are there?
How much is he rent per month?
Is there any furniture in the flat?

Practising the use of some, any, a, a lot of, much and many - here´s the activity.

Also we´ve learnt some interesting facts about the White House and practised asking questions.

Have a look at this video - the virtual tour to the White House.


Your homework is to do the Project - research about the famous building in your country (palace, house, official building) and prepare the presentation. Write it in the blog as "Nueve Entrada", post the photos or pictures.
