WELCOME TO THE NEW TERM

AND HAPPY NEW YEAR 2014

Yesterday we started a unit about towns and cities. Everybody in the group is from Leganés, so Leganés is their hometown. To make it more interesting and so everybody could say something different, students talked about the village where they usually spend their holidays. One of the students usually spend her holidays in Torrejón de Ardoz, which is not a real village, is big enough to be called a town. Another one usually goes to Daimiel , which, he says, is a small village.

Students learned some adjectives to describe towns, cities and villages: beautiful, crowded, empty, quiet, noisy, industrial, historic, modern, tourist, seaside. They had to make sentences like: Picture 1 is a modern crowded city. Remember that in English we place the adjectives before the noun. 

Students spend sometime pronouncing all the new words. 

We were also learning places in the city using flashcards. In order to practice them we play a card game. Students had to ask each other for cards to complete a group or family. And Miriam not only does very well with her English, she is also very LUCKY, she wan again.

Homework 

Find 5 pictures of towns, villages or cities in the Internet and describe them with adjectives.

Example: Vienna is a beautiful historic city.
