Hello boys and girls!

I just realized I had forgotten to write your blog. That's because I have been sick and tired. Now I am feeling better.

In our last lesson we continued studying words about health - or the opposite: being sick. Most students already know those words, I am glad to say, even though they are very healthy.

When you are sick you stay at home, in bed. You don't go to school.
That's what happened to Simon. He has a cold and a temperature and the doctor says he must stay at home, in bed. He mustn't get up.

That's something we studied last Friday:

Things that you must do

and 
Things that you mustn't do

Examples of things you must do in school:

You must listen to the teacher.
You must participate in all the activities.
You must ask questions.

Examples of things you mustn't do in school:

You mustn't shout in the classroom.
You mustn't kick your classmates.
You mustn't write on your classmate's notebook.

HOMEWORK

Go to this link http://www.englishexercises.org/makeagame/viewgame.asp?id=5140 and do the 1st Exercise: say in the sentences are true or false.

In the 2nd exercise: write 4 sentences that you understand.

Last Friday we were studying about being sick. Very appropriate for this time of the year, when so many people are sick.

We studied the words: headache, earache, toothache, stomach ache, a cold, fever,  runny nose,  sore throat, cough, cut, broken arm or leg. 

We watched a funny video and were learning the song. Here is the link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJHtpAriDp0

We were also playing with the flashcards and students had to act out they were sick: the other students had to discover what was the matter.

We reviewed the parts of the body and did a listening exercise. Students had to decide if the sentences they heard were the same as the pictures on their worksheet.

HOMEWORK Go to this linkhttp://resources.marshalladulteducation.org/hot_potatoes/symptoms/symptoms.htm and do the exercise.

Then write 5 of the sentences. Ex: He has a toothache. And make a drawing.

Hello boys and girls!

Last week we did several activities related to eating and food. We listened to a conversation Stella's family had when eating dinner. Then students role played the conversation. They asked questions like:

Can I have some juice please?

Can I have some brown bread?

Later students had to decide what Stella and her friends were eating and drinking and also ask a partner some questions to find out what the other student had written:

They repeated the questions: What's Simon eating? and What's Simon drinking? and gave answers to their partner's questions: Ex: Simon is eating chicken and rice and he is drinking milk.

HOMEWORK

Imagine you are having dinner with your family.

1. Decide what there is for dinner:

Starter: soup, salad, spaghetti, beans, rice, vegetables?

Main course: steak with fries, fish, fried eggs, pizza, meat balls, chicken with fries, etc.?

Dessert: fruit, yogurt, cake, ice-cream, etc.?

Example:
Starter: Vegetable soup
Main Course: Chicken with fries.
Dessert: fruit or yogurt.

Then write a conversation:

Example

Brother: Can I have some soup, please?
Mother: Sure, here you are.
Sister: Can I have some bread, Dad?
Father: Here you are. Danni, are you drinking water or milk?
Brother: Milk, please.
Father: What about you, Liza?
Sister: Water for me, please.
Mother: Here is your chicken, Danni.
Brother: Thank you, Mom, I don't want fries.
Sister: Can I have Danni's fries?
Father: Ok,
Mom: what are you eating for dessert?
Brother: An apple.
Sister: Can I have a banana and yogurt?
