Fifth Week

On 21st October, we started section 1C (pages 8 & 9). We revised the parts of the body focusing on their pronunciation (very important!!) and we did the exercises concerning Toulouse- Lautrec´s painting At the Moulin Rouge (speaking and listening exercises).





On Monday (26th Oct), you are going to talk about your favourite picture (be ready for a brief presentation in front of the class!!) and we´ll start section 1D.



HOMEWORK:



1. Do Grammar Bank, section 1C on page 126 in the book.



2. Click here to see my favourite painting closer and do this exercise:

Brief description of the painting:

Bottom right, there are some people talking.
Bottom left, two people are kissing.
In the middle, on the left, there is a lake. Some people are eating blackberries. And a man is doing a handstand.
Top left, there is a fish flying.
In the the middle, there are some women having a bath and a lot of people riding different animals.
On the right, there are some people carrying a huge shell.
