Objective: Practise your dialogues!

We’re doing speaking and listening activities this week. If you really want to prepare your dialogue (activity 1 speaking, p. 25), I strongly suggest you visit your No Problem website, click on Unit 2 and try the listening exercise. There are two versions, one is the complete text and the other is onlyMike’s (you have to play Sanjay’s part).

And next day… stand up and speak!!

A room with a character

After the three sessions dedicated to the study of movement, we have turned radically to a more relaxed atmosphere: your room. We have collected pictures of room objects, we have decomposed into the three basic forms (sphere, box and cylinder) and we have finally drawn a room, with objects and our personally created character.

Today’s best student was … Raul Álvarez. He was the first student to finish and his simple, but effective drawing was stounding. Good for you!

Are we killing our animals?

“The World Conservation Congress closes today in Barcelona. For ten days the Congress has hosted more than 8,000 specialists from the fields of sustainable development and biodiversity. The event was organised by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), which is made up of over 1,000 organisations and 11,000 experts from 160 countries.” (from Vilaweb Diari d’ Escola)
