Hello, hello my friends, here is Toni…..The man who goes against the mainstream.
Firstly, I have to say that it’s very difficult to summarize in a few words about everything that we do for an hour and a half of class, but I’m going to try. If somebody gets bored reading this, excuse me please, because I’m an ignorant in the English language. I hope not to be very annoying.
I think this year the classes are more interesting than those of last year because in this course we are practising more and working hard to understand and speak English, without much grammar.
Now, I’m going to describe the 5th week of our new course.
On Tuesday, first we finished correcting the exercises about the Simple Past and the Past Continuous and, immediately afterwards, Sandra put a listening on “living in cities” and we had to say if the statements were true or false. Most of us didn’t understand very much but later we spoke in pairs about this theme. One of us defended the advantages of living in the countryside and the other defended living in the city. For example:
– The countryside is less stressful and healthier than the city and quieter too.
– On the other hand, in the city there are more job opportunities, a diverse cultural offer and a lot of services.
The next class was on Thursday and we did a short introduction to correct the homework, “the cities’ vocabulary”. When we finished it, we did a listening about at the recruitment agency and this time we could understand a little more than the last day but not too much. Secondly, we had a job interview with a classmate, and later with another and we asked each other the characteristics that we had to have to obtain the job that we were offered, after that, each one chose the best candidate for the job that Sandra had distributed us. I chose Jose Maria for a cook and I got a job as a football coach. I talked with Inma too, but I didn’t convince her to be a good vet.
At the end of class, Sandra gave us some exercises as homework for the weekend.
That’s all dear friends.
I believe that my classmates are very kind and nice with me because they put up with my extravagancies. That you are lucky.
See you!
Toni
