DEAR STUDENTS,
THIS WEEK WAS THE LAST BEFORE OUR WINTER HOLIDAYS!
ON MONDAY WE CHECKED HOMEWORK.:THE READING ABOUT FRANK ABIGNALE.YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO COMPLETE QUESTIONS BASED ON  ANSWERS. THEN WE CONTINUED WITH AN EXERCISE ABOUT A QUIZ IN WHICH YOU HAD TO ANSWER QUESTION OF GENERAL KNOWLEDGE.YOU HAD TO USE QUESTIONS WITH PREPOSITIONS. AFTER THE QUESTIONS ,YOU HAD TO MAKE COMMENTS ABOUT THEM USING EXPRESSIONS  SUCH  AS WE WEREN´T SURE..,WE HAD NO IDEA.., WE DIDN´T HAVE A CLUE.... . SOME OF THE SENTENCES WERE INDIRECT QUESTIONS.

ON WEDNESDAY I HAD A BIG SURPRISE: MAR AND LAURA MADE A PRESENTATION ABOUT CHRISTMAS IN ENGLAND. THEY EVEN BROUGHT SOME DECORATIONS TO CREATE THE ATMOSPHERE: CHRISTMAS CARDS, CHOCOLATES, ETC. THE CLASS HAD DIFFERENT SECTIONS: WE LISTENED TO A SPEECH ABOUT CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION IN ENGLAND, CUSTOMS, TRADITIONS; AN EXERCISE TO CHECK OUR UNDERSTANDING ABOUT THE SPEECH. WE ALSO FILLED IN THE LYRICS OF A SONG ABOUT CHRISTMAS ( BUT WE DIDN´T DARE TO SING IT!!).THEN WE ANSWERED SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT  OUR OWN TRADITIONS FOR CHRISTMAS.WE WERE GIVEN THE INSTRUCCIONS TO MAKE A SNOWFLAKE  FOR OUR CHRITSMAS TREES( KATYA SAID  SHE WOULD MAKE ONE!.)

THIS WEEK WE  REVISED DIFFERENT KIND OF QUESTIONS: NEGATIVE QUESTIONS, QUESTION WITH AND WITHOUT AUXILIARS,NEGATIVE AND  INDIRECT QUESTIONS, ETC. WE ALSO PRACTICE QUESTIONS WITH PREPOSITIONS: WHO ....WITH?,WHAT ..FOR?,WHAT........ABOUT? WHO ......FROM?.
