Yesterday we had our last lesson on the topic Towns, which includes cities, villages and resorts.
In the first part of the lesson students talked about different cities and towns and each one of them wrote a paragraph on one of them.
What we have learned is that we use the verb to be to talk about characteristics of a place:
It is a small and quiet town. It's freezing cold.
We always say the adjectives before the noun: It is a crowded tourist city.
When we talk about places or things in the town we say:
There is a lake. ( for 1 thing).
There are many tall buildings. (for 2, 3 or more things.)
We were practicing questions in the 3rd singular person, asking about a cousin, a grandmother or a grandfather.
Where does your grandmother live?
And the answer:
She lives in Leganes.
In the second part of the class we reviewed the Past Simple of the verb to be, which is not new, we had studied it when we studied the weather. Remember: What was the weather like yesterday?
I was
You were
He was
She was
We were
You were
They were
We listened to a conversation between two young people: one a them was in San Francisco the week before. The other one asked: What was San Francisco like?
All the students read the conversation and then role played it. It was a bit difficult, but this is a group of clever kids and they did better than they expected. We'll keep practicing.
We had time to make a word puzzle about places in the city and then play the memory game like last week.
