Week 7th- 9th
April
Hi! How are you doing?
Fine, aren’t you? Me,
too. Because next week is Easter and we’ll be on holiday. After such a long
term, we really deserve (to have as a reward, to get something good) a holiday; don’t you
think?
We started the week with music! Song: “Sk8ter boy” by Avril Lavigne.
He was a boy, she was a girl. He was a punk, she did ballet…
…she sits at home, feeding the
baby, she’s all alone…
You can listen to the song here, and pay attention to
the use of articles (the, a, an, no article)
We worked in pairs so as to complete a crossword by
using definitions.
·
It’s a place
where you …
·
It’s a person
who …
·
It’s something
you say / do when …
·
It’s the
opposite of../ a kind / sort of…
·
It’s made of…
·
It’s used for…
We also
practised making questions and answers so as to fill in the missing information we
had on our
pieces of paper.
We had to find out
(discover)
details about Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley.
·
When was
Keira born?
·
Who really was Orlando’s father?
·
How many films has Keira made since 2001?
·
Why did
Orlando have a lot of problems at
school?
·
How long has
Keira lived in London?
We found out
that both
of them live in London. Both of them had problems because
they’re dyslexic. Keira was born in Teddington and Orlando was born in
Canterbury, (beautiful town, by the way); so, both of them are British.
Both
left school when they were teenagers and concentrated on acting.
If you
want to know more about Canterbury, here you have their official website
You can do exercises on this topic on the following link:
Reading:
And we started a ‘Music
Quiz’.
·
Which singer played football for Real Madrid?
·
Which group did Beyoncé sing in?
·
What kind of music did the ‘Sex Pistols’
sing?
·
When did MTV begin?
·
Who sang Philadelphia
in the film of the same name?
Remember how we make questions in simple tenses in
English:
(Q) A
S I
?
(Question Word)
Auxiliary Verb Subject Infinitive?
Whose daughter did Michael Jackson marry in 1994?
But, what about…?
Which group sang ‘Losing
my Religion’?
Which group did (where’s the subject?) sing ‘Losing my Religion’?
In this case the
subject and the question word are the same; that’s why we don’t use the
auxiliary. So, we make the question using the verb in a suitable tense
depending if the question is present, past future…
When the question
word is the subject in a question, we don’t use auxiliary verb.
Who painted ‘Guernica’?
Which
famous masterpiece did Picasso paint?
Q A S
I ?
We’ll have
to wait until after Easter so as to know who the winners of our quiz are!
In the A- Team, Loli, Alex and Raquel gave
these answers: 1a, 2a, 3b, 4b, 5a
In the B-Team, Sergio and Carlosl gave these
answers: 1a, 2a, 3a, 4b, 5b
Anyway,
enjoy your holidays, relax and we’ll see each other on Monday 21st
!!!
