My weekend
I think it's a fun activity to repeat but instead of being a text from the book, it will be my weekend.
So in pairs, you'll have to write 5 meaningful sentences guessing what I did.
For next week, I want you to do the same thing writing a small paragraph and editing it on Wordle. You can either bring some copies or send your link to my email. Of course, you can also share the link in a comment here.


See ya!

I know you aren't very keen on reading but I could have a solution to that!
Everybody knows that you learn by doing, so if you have problems with your listening skills, here you can find some links to help you out with that task. I'm afraid you won't be able to see the text and listen to it at the same time, you'll just find the recordings. Well, don't worry, "your reader" does the job very well, reading very slowly and pronouncing the words correctly. Enjoy!

Romeo and Juliet
Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
