UNIT 2: FRIENDS FOR LIFE? (4th ESO)

 

This unit is all about FRIENDS. Maybe this topic will remind you of the famous TV series... Why don't you relax yourselves for a while and enjoy some of the best moments in the series?

Now it's time to work! You can start by revising the vocabulary related to FRIENDS AND ACQUAINTANCES:

We also worked with INDEFINITE PRONOUNS. Just click on the words to have access to more practice. 

Then we studied RELATIVE CLAUSES. We started with DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSES. Do you need further practice? You can try these activities:

EXERCISE 1

EXERCISE 2

EXERCISE 3

We continued with NON-DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSES. Again, here you have some more practice:

EXERCISE 1

EXERCISE 2

EXERCISE 3

Tired? Need some fun? Test yourself with this 

KAHOOT

If there is one thing friends do is do things together. That is the next vocabulary to practise and you can do so with this Quizlet:

THINGS THAT FRIENDS DO 

Pronouns are very useful to avoid repetition, so studying REFLEXIVE PRONOUNS is a must, and practising them too! 

EXERCISE 1

EXERCISE 2

Prefer a GAME? Hope you are good at bowling...

We also studied EACH OTHER, so that you don't confuse it with reflexive pronouns.

EXERCISE 1

EXERCISE 2

You can test yourselves again with this:

KAHOOT

We also studied how to write AN EMAIL ABOUT A PROBLEM. You can check this website for more tips:

AN INFORMAL EMAIL

 

MAKE AN INFOGRAPHIC ABOUT A BOOK OR A FILM

Students from 2nd year have worked really hard on this LEARNING SITUATION and they managed to create some beautiful comic stories. 

Besides making the comics, they presented them orally in the English class, giving more information about the stories and the main characters. Surpringsingly, most of the sutdents chose well-known fairy tales. 

Here you can see them:

Adara, Hugo and Sonia (2nd ESO B)

Aitor, Pablo and Miguel (2nd ESO B)

  Helena, Mateo and Luis (2nd ESO B)

Rada and Daniel (2nd ESO A)

Lia, Leo and Carla (2nd ESO A)

Alejandra and Lucía (2nd ESO A)

Deva, Alba, Clara and Izan (2º B)

Alejandro, Nicolás, Pablo and Sergio (2º B)

Lucía, Ricardo, Adrián and Asier(2º B)

Claudia and Adamina (2nd ESO A)

Mencía and Alexia (2nd ESOA)

Laia and Alba (2nd ESO A)

Leticia, Ana and Isabella (2nd ESO A)

Francisco and Leo (2nd ESO A)

Miguel and Gonzalo (2nd ESO A)

Well done everyone! We hope that doing this activity has helped you learn English in a different way and that you have enjoyedf working on your own, with your classmates!

AND THE WINNER IS...

Today is Halloween!!! And we cannot think of a better way to celebrate it than to announce the winner of the VI Halloween Memes/Gifs Competition!

This is the winning meme:

Why? Because it clearly shows the teachers' desperation when we see that students make the same mistake once and again. The mistake could be any, not just that in the meme: *I have 16 years old, *Peter work in a bank, *My from is Spanish... Besides, the design of the meme shows the transition from a peaceful situation to a really spooky one at the end, in which teachers want to tear their heads off! Even the font type is different and much creepier! That's the Halloween spirit!

And the author is Leo Durrer (2nd ESO). Here he is, with the prize:

And here we have the rest of the participants, who also got a "no-homework pass" and a spooky but yummy/mummy treat:

Javier and Ismael couldn't attend the prize giving ceremony because they had an exam (things that happen when you are in 2nd bach 😭). Don't worry, they got their presents too:

And the rest of the students had a surprise too: lots of Halloween balloons to play with:

This is the end of the Halloween celebrations at school, but we have a loooong weekend ahead and tonight is Halloween, so you can still celebrate it a bit more with your friends. Have fun!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Happy Halloween!

 

 

Halloween is celebrated the night of 31st October, the eve of All Saints' Day, often celebrated by children dressing up in frightening masks and costumes.

Play these games to learn some Halloween-related vocabulary:

LITERATURE AND CULTURE LESSONS ABOUT THE UK AND IRELAND

Last week, on Friday 6th October, all the students at the school (except those in 2nd bach who are really busy in their last year at school and cannot spare any time at all) attended different lessons that helped them learn English in a different (and much more fun!) way. 

Thanks to Burlington Books, who brought Damien to our school, and for free 😉, students learnt about...

GHOSTS AND LEGENDS:

IRELAND:

ENGLISH LITERATURE:

BRITAIN:

Only two students chose to use the "calling my mum" lifeline. It was so much fun 😂: Damien called his mum and the students talked to her to find out what the correct answer was. They were so shocked!!!

Students really enjoyed the activity, so we are just looking forward to repeating again!
