ON THE FIRST CLASS WE STARTED TALKING ABOUT BUSINESS AND THE ENVIRONMENT. WE DISCUSSED ABOUT THE ACTUAL IMPORTANCE COMPANIES GIVE TO THE ENVIRONMENT. SOME INDUSTRIES PUT INTO PRACTICE SOME METHODS TO PROTECT NATURE AS WELL AS THE BENEFITS THEY GET DOING THAT.

SOME VOCABULARY WAS ANALISED: CONSUMER SOCIETY,PACKAGING, RECYCLING AND POLLUTION.YOU WERE SHOWN SOME CARTOONS FOR YOU TO POINT OUT WHICH ENVIRONMENTAL THREAT THEY WERE REFERING TO,WHICH, IN YOUR OPINION, WAS THE MOST EFFECTIVE CARTOON AND THE MOST IMPORTANT ENVIROMMENTAL CAUSE.

VOCABULABULARY SUCH AS OZONE LAYER,CHEMICAL WASTE, GLOBAL WARMING,OIL SPILLS WERE VERY HELPFUL.

FINALLY WE  TALKED ABOUT ENVIROMENTALLY-FRIENDLY POLICIES SOME COMPANIES CARRY OUT :THE BODY SHOP,MACDONALDS, ETC

 ON THE SECOND CLASS,WE REVISED THE USE OF EXPRESSIONS WITH TAKE AND PUT

WE  WORKED ON A LISTENING ABOUT  A FRIEND´S REUNION.IT WAS A TELEPHONE CONVERSATION AMONG 3 FRIENDS. YOU HAD TO COMPLETE A LOT OF DETAILS ABOUT THE PLACE, TIME FOR REUNION, MEETING POINT, BOARDING,ETC. IT WAS HARD WORK SINCE THE THREE OF THEM GAVE DIFFERENT INFORMATION .THEN YOU GAVE YOUR OPINION ABOUT THE ARRANGEMENTS ,

BASED ON THE CONVERSATION IN THE LISTENING. WE  ANALISED SOME  INFORMAL EXPRESSIONS ON THE PHONE SUCH AS.....THIS IS.....,,IS THAT...?WHO´S CALLING?WHAT ARE YOU UP TO?IT WAS GOOD TO TALK TO YOU...ETC.

THEN WE ANALISED THREE DIFFERENT PHONE CALLS,COMMENTED ABOUT THE DIFFERENCES AMONG THEM: WHEN THEY HAVE A SMALL TALK,WHY  ORGANIZATIONS HAVE RECORDED MENUS,WHY PEOPLE FIND THEM FRUSTRATING, ETC.

FOR HOMEWWORK YOU HAVE TO WRITE YOUR OWN EXAMPLES USING VERBS MAKE AND PUT AND MAKE SOME RESEARCH ON OTHER PHRASAL VERBS WITH THOSE VERBS TO FILL IN AN EXERCISE.
