1)Vocabulario relacionado con las tecnologías.
2)Preguntas sujeto y objeto.
3) Las 3 condicionales mezcladas. Vuelvo a repetir...
   
       Encontraréis una parte y debéis completar la segunda parte correctamente.
   
      Deberéis reescribir una frase usando una condicional. Tendréis que decidir si estamos hablando de cosas posibles ( 1ª, futuro), improbables ( 2ª presente) o imposibles ( 3ª,pasado).
   
       Os encontraréis unos huecos que debéis completar con la condicional correcta. Pensad y decidid de qué se está hablando. Muchas veces hace falta más contexto ya que la 1ª y la 2ª son posibles. Don't worry, os he dado un poco de info para os sea más fácil verlo más claro.

Si la acción está en pasado, obligatoriamente será la 3ª. NO os confundáis con la 2ª porque utilizamos un verbo en pasado simple ( la acción se sitúa en el presente. Realmente es un subjuntivo).

5) Listening

Easter Homework ( with love from your English teacher to her fave students)

Hi there!

The font is a bit small, so zoommmmmmmmmm it.

 By the way, do you recognise the pictures??

 The main reason why I'm uploading it is because I'm afraid the weather  is going to be awful next week. I know you have just one week to relax and be with your friends / relatives who don't live in Baena, but...I care about you, your knowledge doesn't occupy space so...un poquito de cultura general nunca viene mal (above all, British).

TIP:  You can always download it, print it and use it as a poster or as a screensaver ( I'm kidding, sorry but I think I need a rest).

 Have a nice time...bye!

PET ( oral test)

Hi! I'm going to focus on the speaking exam this term. So that's why we are going to watch a lot of videos related to the PET exam.

 I remind you this test consists of 4 parts which last about 12 minutes altogether.

 1st part: personal questions, such as "spell your surname", the things you like doing, your hobbies, family, etc.

 2nd part: you talk to your partner. You have to give your opinion, show you can make suggestions, give reasons, agree or disagree with the other person. You will be shown a picture with some ideas. Remember you have to talk about all the things that are on that paper. Don't stay quiet, talk. There isn't a correct answer, just give your reasons and opinion.

 3rd part: you will be given a picture which you'll have to describe to your partner. Although your partner will be looking at your picture while you are describing it, think as if he wasn't.

 4th part: you'll talk together again. This time about the topic related to the picture in part 3.

 I'm posting some videos. Sorry for the accent, a bit strong, but I couldn't find different clips to the ones I
showed you last month.

 

 Don't worry about the oral test ( you'll do great). We'll practice this kind of test in class.
