Halloween

Do you know how Holloween is celebrated in the UK? Just watch these videos. You can subtitle them if you find them difficult.






You can find some listening and vocabulary activities about Halloween here. Task 2 is usually very demanding, so use a pen and paper to answer it.

This one is a bit more serious.

And this is a quiz. Are you an expert on Halloween? Good luck!

Básico 1- Can, can't

Watch this video. You can listen and read the subtitles aloud (en voz alta). Imitate the pronunciation. 

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

These are some of the words in the video:
type: escribir a máquina,
iron: planchar,
wash clothes: lavar la ropa,
wash dishes: fregar.



Use this link to revise can / can't. You can do exercises 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, 12. I think that's enough.
