Hi everyone!
This week we have focused learning on what people were like when they were at school and how they have changed now that they are adults. We studied used to through a news story about the famous rebel Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones, and an interview with a school teacher. We also paid attention to the pronunciation of used to.
Sybil commented on the 7-12 chapters from The USA book. Please, remember to bring the book to class when I tell you. If you have no book, you get bored and don't pay attention to her.
We also started a new unit which introduces the passive voice for present and past tenses. We changed the assumption that most inventors are men through a listening exercises which showd that women were responsible for several significant inventions of the last century. In vocabulary the focus is on verbs which are frequently used in the passive, e.g, designed, based, discovered... We also revised the pronunciation of -ed endings in past tenses and past participles.
As for homework, you have to do the exercises of two worksheets about the passive voice: present and past.
Here you are some exercises to practise present and past passive sentences:
- Passive_1
- Passive_2
