Please, send me your compositions before 2nd December. Remember: indent, justify, double space and absolutely no COMIC SANS.

Thank you!!

This morning I had to spend some time with some 2nd batx. students. They were reading a text about Lin Yang, a Chinaman who learnt English by shouting sentences in a park. The idea is crazy, but he became very succesful and did learn a lot of English. Now, he wants to teach his method to his fellow countrymen.

Watch it and… think.

Here you have a powerpoint presentation on how to edit your compositions using a wordprocessor.

Download it, watch it and use it!

Listen to this short explanation in Catalan. I hope it helps.

Past simple and present perfect

Download the text here. The title is A Woman’s Worth by Alicia Keys. Enjoy!

Today I’ve come to work despite the teachers strike. I don’t quite like the new Catalan Education Law, but I don’t like how the education system is now either. We couldn’t do normal classes today, but we have practised the following:

• Comics in English: we have used toondoo to create some comic strips.
• 4th ESO: we have continued with normal classes.

Unit 1 average was a mere 5. Unit 2 is… 6.5!! Two things here:

· Unit 2 is easier than unit 1.

· Many of the students who have now an 8 will do the intermediate exam for unit 3. Get ready…

But anyway, congratulations!

Hello my dear students, the final version of the list of exercises for Unit 3 has already been uploaded. It no longer contains the vocabulary of Unit 2, but the new words in the last unit of this term.

Thanks for waiting and see you on Monday (4 A,C,D) and Tuesday (4B).

Oh, and before you ask. No, I will probably not give you the marked exams, except for 4t C. If I have time, I will try to finish 4D first. Sorry, but I’m having a very busy weekend with birthdays and lots of shopping to do.

Unit 3, 2nd version

Good news! I have just marked your unit 2 exams and I have to say that the results have been spectacular. The average is 6.9, which is miles away from Unit 1’s 5.2!!!

Congratulations, though I have to say that perhaps, only perhaps, this exam was much easier. See you on Monday!
