Season's Greetings... and homework
Hi everyone!
I hope you're having a nice holiday. For those of you who weren't able to come on the last day, here's the things you can do if you've got time for English:
(1) Things fall apart. You need to read the second part of the book (Chapters 9 to 16) by the second week of January. When we're back, we'll set a day to discuss some of the topics included in those chapters.
(2) Narratives dossier. A set of exercises designed to make your stories more detailed and sound more advanced. Focused on vocabulary. This is the KEY, to the exercises, but we'll have a look at some exercises in class.
(3) Write a story. Write a story of about 150-180 words containing ONE of the following sentences:
- It was the worst flight I had ever experienced.
- I would never go back there again.
- "You're fired!" he souted.
Remember to use different techniques in your text:
- Write a good beginning/ending: See techniques here.
- Use advanced vocabulary for simple words (good, nice, say, run, etc.)
- Use adverbs in -ly
- Use a variety of verb tenses (Past Simple/Continuous/Perfect/Perfect Continuous...).
(4) Grammar & Vocabulary review. A set of review exercises.
Obviously, you don't have to do every single exercise. You decide what you want to do.
That's all. See you again on 8 January!
