Homework intermedio 1, 12th April

If you couldn't come to school today you missed a writing test. You can choose one of them or do both and e-mail them to me.
If you want to do it as practice for your exam, set a time limit (30 minutes per activity) and don't use any dictionaries or reference books.

Homework Intermedio 1 - 5th April

This is the activity we did in class to practise conditional sentences.
Your homework for tomorrow is the reading activity on pages 58-59, about "La Casa Azúl".
There are two extra readings for next week which you can download from this link.
I'd also like to remind you that on 19th of April you have to speak about one of the books you have to read this year. You can organise your ideas with the sheets I gave you to talk about films.
It is a speaking activity, so  you can write some notes but you CAN'T read everything.
We'll do it at the language lab and I'll record it in order to mark it, so, start practising.

Intermedio 1 - 31st March

You can download the new version of the conditional sentences presentation. It includes type 2, and the format is different. And the one about the house is available too. And so is the crossword puzzle.
As I told you today, there's a programme which converts Office 2007 documents into doc documents. You can download it by clicking on this link. Once it is installed, you won't have any problems to open word, excel or powerpoint documents. It is very easy to install, and it's FREE.
And if you like Madness, listen to their song "Our House". Do this exercise (click here).



As soon as I scan the exercise, I'll upgrade the post. This is your homework for Tuesday.

The Wall, by Pink Floyd

Pink Floyd have just been in Spain. If you want to know more about this band and their music, click here.
