Hello Students!

Hope you are all well this Monday morning!

Here are the class activities for this week.


ACTIVITY ONE


We are going to continue a little with some more conditional forms.
Look at these sentences:

- We decided to move our business, otherwise it would have been affected by the floods.

- They would have gone to Paris, but the Covid 19 virus began.

- It would have been impossible for her to get through that difficult time without your help.

In the above sentences you can see that there is NO "If" clause but a conditional is still implied and we use a conditional clause. These are typical examples. We often use Otherwise, But and Without like this.

On page 73 of the book do activity 3 to practice this.

Then do exercise 4 (more general conditionals).


ACTIVITY TWO

Do the vocabulary exercises 5 and 6 on page 73.
Do the vocabulary exercises 1, 2 and 3 on page 74.


ACTIVITY THREE

Read the text on page 75 to find out what the "Age of the Goldfish" is and do the vocabulary exercise on page 75.  Think about the ideas in the text. What do you think? We will discuss this issue in the next class.

Hi students,

Here are this week's class activities.


ACTIVITY ONE

In last week's class I mentioned that we would be looking at some conditional forms this week.
In particular we will look at mixed conditionals, inverted conditionals and uses of the 'unreal past' in sentences such as this one: If only I had more free time, in which we are not talking about the past at all but the present.

On pages 64 and 65 in the student book, I'd like you to do activities 1 to 8. If you have any doubts or questions you can ask me in the group.


ACTIVITY TWO

Read this essay about the attitude towards children in modern societies. You can also listen to the text being read too which I recommend. What do you think about these ideas in text? In the next class we will talk about them and you can contribute with your own thoughts and reflections
