Asteroids and comets

Hi kids! Today you're on strike, so I had time to update the blog. Click on the picture and you'll learn some more facts on asteroids and comets in an easy language (no exercises this time!)

Well, ok, I guess you want a few more exercises on subject / object questions. All right, here you are:

• Exercise 1
• Exercise 2
• Exercise 3

These three are very easy. I expect you'll do well. And now, another quote:

Who cares about the clouds when we're together? Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather. Dale Evans, American singer (1912-2001)

See you tomorrow.

Subject/object questions

Hi kids. To start with, a new quote:
What makes the engine go? Desire, desire, desire

Stanley Kunitz, American poet (O Magazine, September 2003)

Now, let's learn a bit about JOBS (just click on the picture -funny, isn't it?),

and try a few exercises on subject / object questions (if you click here you'll be directed to a page which gives further explanation on this topic):

1. this one involves translation
2. this you may find a bit long, but interesting!
3. and this one, which is a bit more challenging.

Have a wonderful weekend and see you on Monday

HOAX!

Hi there! What's a hoax? If you click on the image you'll learn a little more about hoaxes.


Last Friday you proved how good at telling the truth (or lies) you can be. Some of your stories were really good and imaginative. By the way, the story about my grandfather and the lion is absolutely true!
If you click on the picture you'll see a website where you'll learn about some of the world's best known hoaxes. Once you are in the site, click on the photograph.









And now, a few exercises on past simple and past continuous:
* Exercise 1
* Exercise 2
* Exercise 3
* Exercise 4

This is the song we were going to listen to in class. Hopefully you'll be luckier at home than at school! Click on the image of John Lennon and you'll be able to listen to it and read the lyrics at the same time



 Try and enjoy yourselves! And now a funny and witty cartoon

 C U in class tomorrow..

Once upon a time, there used to be...

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

Peter de Vries (1910 – 1993), American editor and novelist known for his satiric wit

Do you agree? Too nostalgic? What about this one?

I used to wake up at 4 A.M. and start sneezing, sometimes for five hours. I tried to find out what sort of allergy I had, but finally came to the conclusion that it must be an allergy to consciousness.

James Thurber  (1894 - 1961) US author, cartoonist, humorist, & satirist 

Poor old man! What about this cartoon?

Now, a little task for you. Do these "USED TO" exercises in your free time. Sure you'll enjoy them.  Here's the link.
