Mass in English

An interesting piece of news: you can hear mass in English every Saturday @12 pm in San Juan del Hospital church. Maybe it’s not the most exciting plan for the weekend, but it’s a way of practising your listening skills in a real setting!!!
Go and have a look, even if it’s only for curiosity…

Amen

WEEK 13

Hello again this is my second writing in the diary about our learning, the theme this week was food in general.

On Tuesday we corrected the homework, it was vocabulary about fast food and we had to complete phrasal verbs using the correct form.

After that, Sandra gave us a text which had different dishes and pictures. We had to put the dish name and which country they come from. There was also the name of the ingredients as rice, tomato, potatoes, cheese, garlic, mushroom and red peppers, we had to put the dish with name of these ingredients. Finally we had a conversation in pairs, we talked about how to choose a dish in different situations, which were: on the beach, in   an elegant business lunch, romantic dinner or expensive dinner. There were argument to choose the correct dish, but I was good.

On Thursday we started a listening about three people, they were speaking in a restaurant, we had to put in a table the food and the drink that they chose, it was very difficult because I have problems to understand a conversation when they talk fast (in this case it was very fast).The practice of conversation that day was that one of us was a restaurant It had a menu with different dishes: Starters, main course second course and dessert. We spoke in pairs. The waiter said the menu and the customer had to choose the favourite dish. It had in general two parts, one was more or less a healthy menu, but another part had a lot of oil and cholesterol

Well friends this is the last writing at the moment. I think I have learnt enough but I have to continue, this English is difficult, I forget the words and the grammar easily. I will have to follow.

 I hope to see us together on the next course. Bye, see you in October
