CPE - Language
Hello girls! How have you been?
During the last two lessons, we've been working on the topic of Language. Last class, we concentrated on different "Englishes". Here is a video showing different accents that you can find in the British Isles.
In addition, here is the video that you should watch for the listening activity I gave you as homework.
See you on Wednesday!

4th Year: Narrative tenses
Hello people!
Here is revision on narrative tenses (past simple, past continuous, and past perfect)
First, you may want to revise the uses of each tense. Go over your notes, and check the following website:
http://www.eltbase.com/notes.php?id=201
About Narrative Tenses
When we are telling the story in the past we can use a variety of narrative tenses.
We use the past simple to talk about the main events of the story: The audience watched the live broadcast in horror.
We use the past continuous to describe other events and actions that were in progress at the time of events: A woman was lying on a surgical table.
We use the past perfect to show that a past action took place before another past action: Frida had finished school and was travelling home when her bus crashed.
And here is some practice!!
1) Narrative tenses in a news story http://www.eltbase.com/quiz/201_01.htm
2) Narrative tenses in an anecdote/story

EMERGENCY LANDING + MARS ATTACKS! (Elementary group)
Hello Tamy, Juan, and Facu! How are you?
Here are the two activities I promised to post on the blog, and that you should do as homework for next class. It is very important that you do activity 1 first!! (You cannot do activity 2 if you didn't finish reading the story)
1) Read part 2 of Emergency Landing and answer the following questions IN YOUR COPYBOOK. We are going to discuss them in class.
a) What's strange about the passangers? Who are they? How do you know?
b) In the story, an "unknown place" is mentioned. Which is this "unknown place"? (Unknown = not familiar)
c) What are the passangers planning to do with the "unknown place"? Why?
d) Do we know how the story ends? Or is the ending open?
e) Did you like the story? Why/why not?
2) Watch the following video and solve the questionnaire online. Please, remember that after answering the questions you need to click on "send" (or "enviar"). You will see a confirmation that your questions were sent. If you cannot see this, it's because you didn't send it.
Have a nice week! See you next Monday!
