Since we must stay at home, let's do our best to make good use of our time.<br />This is my first post this week. </h4>

I am sure you all have good apps to improve your English or sites you like. Why don't we share them? You can add your favourites to this <a href="https://padlet.com/yolanda_cabezas/ttsi2h72l0bv" target="_blank">padlet</a>. I've just added a couple myself.</div>

<br /></div>
<div>
And these are some links with varied activities. I hope you like them.</div>
<a href="https://www.esl-lab.com/vocabulary-lessons/jobs/" target="_blank">Jobs and their pronunciation</a>.<br />
<a href="https://www.learnenglish.de/vocabulary/jobs.html#sthash.tY3owIC8.dpuf" target="_blank">This site</a> provides exercises to revise vocabulary related to work and jobs though some of them need Java to work (some browsers don't support Java)<br />

<a href="https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/skills/listening/intermediate-b1/work-life-balance" target="_blank">Listening</a>: Work-life balance. Do the preparation task first. Then listen to the audio and do the exercises. <b>DON'T </b>read the tapescript until you finish the listening tasks.<br />

We learnt about the present perfect and the past simple in Básico 2. You can use these posts to revise a bit: <a href="http://yolandacabezas.blogspot.com.es/2015/01/basico-2-present-perfect.html" target="_blank">Post 1</a> and <a href="http://yolandacabezas.blogspot.com.es/2015/01/basico-2-present-perfect-and-listening.html" target="_blank">post 2</a><br />

<br />
Here you are two extra exercises (<a href="http://speakspeak.com/english-grammar-exercises/intermediate/past-simple-or-present-perfect" target="_blank">exercise 1</a>, <a href="http://speakspeak.com/english-grammar-exercises/intermediate/past-simple-or-present-perfect-2" target="_blank">exercise 2</a>). If you use contractions, remember to use the apostrophe (the same key as ? -> en la misma tecla que la interrogación, al lado del 0).<br />
Below the exercise you have a list of common mistakes and the reason why these senteences are incorrect.<br />
<a href="https://elt.oup.com/student/solutions/int/grammar/grammar_04_012e?cc=global&selLanguage=en" target="_blank">Exercise 3</a><br />
<a href="http://mbonillo.xavierre.com/exercises/eso4/4eso2007/ptsimprprf1.htm" target="_blank">Exercise 4</a><br />
<br />
Revise the <a href="http://learnenglishteens.britishcouncil.org/grammar-vocabulary/vocabulary-exercises/money" target="_blank">vocabulary for money</a> and watch this video. You can download the <a href="https://app.box.com/s/p0qv44jmvb6gqhz9aatg" target="_blank">worksheet </a>and the <a href="https://app.box.com/s/ad29bc2b93dd99cf6fcd" target="_blank">answer key</a>.<br />

<br />
Haven't you had enough? If so, you can do this <a href="https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/uk-culture/student-money" target="_blank">listening exercise on this topic</a>. Take it easy, it might be difficult. Do it, check answers and listen to it a last time at the same time as you read the tapescript. I hope you like it.<br />
<br />
Use this presentation to make monologues. The questions will guide you to organize your speech.<br />
For example: Slide 2. "I have sung in public several times./ I have never sung in public because I'm very shy and I sing really badly so I get embarrassed easily".<br />

You can also use this (American English). Start in <i>Unit 9, looking for a job.</i> Start in minute 2.<br />
<i>Podéis usar también este. Empezad en la unidad 9, en el minuto 2.</i><br />

These are some of the words in the video:<br />
