UNIT 1 PHYSICAL AND PERSONALITY DESCRIPTION

Hi Guys!!

Thank you so much for taking part on the Survey I prepared for you.  

I really appreciate the fact that you took it seriously and you gave a deep thought to what you were writing. 

I have gone through all your answers and I have realized how eager and enthusiastic most of you are to start working. 

That's why I have decided to post some different resources to help you with the vocabulary we have been working on this last couple of days. You will also find different materials to help you work on the skills we will be focusing on this year. 

OTHER WORDS YOU MIGHT FIND USEFUL

• IMPROVING YOUR READING SKILLS:

One of the best ways to improve your reading skills as well as your vocabulary is to get used to reading Newspapers in English Language. It doesn't mean that you have to read the whole newspaper but just find those articles you are interested in and try to get the general idea. It's not about understanding every single word but you will soon realize the more your read the more you understand. 

Why don't you start with this one? 

It's only Funny Because No One Got Hurt

• IMPROVING YOUR LISTENING SKILLS:

However, if you are interested in improving your listenings skills, nothing better than watching some short videos. There are lots of interesting websites for that. Youtube can also be a really good source. I think a good way to work on this kind of videos is to watch them for the first time without subtitles and try to get the general mening. Once you've done that, play it again, this time remember to set English subtitles on.

Let's start with an easy one.

Why I want to learn English?

• IMPROVING YOUR WRITING SKILLS:

Writing is probably one of the most difficult skills for English Learners. The best tool to improve our writing is to practice it as much as possible. Think about what you are writing and try to put the vocabulary learnt in class into practice. 

If you want to work on describing people. Leave your comment here on one of the people in the picture below. You can talk not only about their physical appearance but also their personality. 

I would love to read you comments!

• SING ALONG

Music can be English learners Best Friend. Here you have the song we were working on last Friday. Listen to it again and try to answer the questions on your worksheet. 

NEW SCHOOL YEAR 2015-2016

 

WELCOME BACK EVERYONE!! 

I am really glad to have the opportunity to work with you again this new school year. 

As I pointed out this morning you will have to work hard this year but I just hope we get to learn a lot while having a good time. 

So...

 TIME TO START WORKING!!!

A LETTER TO MY 4TH ESO STUDENTS

To my dear 4th ESO students,

As I already told you last Friday, it is been a real PLEASURE being your teacher once again this year. My speech got a bit messed up last time so I just wanted to let you know how GRATEFUL I am for all your smiles, enthusiasm and hard work. I have genuinely ENJOYED every single lesson with you, Teaching can be hard sometimes but whenever I was stressed or I a had tough day, you always managed to make me laugh and realize how much I love teaching English. I keep really good memories from all my lessons with you and I just hope you have learnt and enjoyed them half as much as I did. 

You are SMART, CREATIVE, FUNNY and EAGER Not only that, but also you care and help each other.For all this, I cannot think of a better learning atmosphere.

 You have finished and important stage in your life and you are about to start a new one. Some of you might

 stay, some others might leave. However, whatever happens next year do not let that special relationship you have to be ruined.

It might sound a bit cheesy but I have really high hopes of you and I am pretty sure you will achieve anything you want to if you keep working for it. 

THANK YOU ALL FOR A GREAT YEAR!!

HAVE AN AWESOME SUMMER
