Then we studied ADVERBS of MANNER and how to form and use them. This game may help you learn them quickly 😉:
This unit also revises something you may remember studying: COMPARATIVE and SUPERLATIVE adjectives and how to use them in a sentence. Don't forget to practise them:
With this game, you can test your knowledge of comparatives/superlatives and your aim 🏹!

Now we are finished! Hope you are ready to carry out the unit project 💸💰🤑!
What makes a good invention? What is the best way to present it to people? Difficult to say, isn't it? Well, after working with all the activities in this unit, it will be much easier!
To be ready to deal with this topic, it is necessary to revise/learn some vocabulary related to SCIENCE. These verb and noun collocations you can find on this QUIZLET will be very useful.
We studied the PAST PERFECT tense. This video explains it in a very clear way:
The practice in the book includes a reference to the real inventor of crisps (yummy!). Yes, inventions are not only technological 😉! Why don't you take a break and watch this video about this delicious invention?
Once an invention is made, it is necessary to describe it to others. That's why we have studied some vocabulary for DESCRIBING PRODUCTS. This crossword will help you revise it:
Continuing this fascinating trip on inventions, we learned about Oohos. Watch this video to know more about this innovative and environmentally friendly product:
Among all these inventions, language has also created its own, like DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSES, very useful to give essential information about a noun. Here you have some extra practice:
If you ever become an inventor and come up with a brilliant idea, you will certainly need to write A FORMAL LETTER to the company or people who can help you make your invention a reality. Check this video to make sure you write it in the best way possible:
After all you have seen in this unit, any inventors out there??? Who knows...
Non- bilingual students in 1º A have been working on a learning situation about making a surveyand explaining its results.

We hope you like it and find it interesting... It was quite clear football was going to be their first choice!!😄😄

Students in the second year have worked with a LEARNING SITUATION that implied investigating life in the past. They interviewed their families and also did some online research to find out what life was like in the area about 25 years ago, in the 1990s. They chose among different topics: family life, entertainment, clothes and fashion... They also had to consider the differences with life now, something that implied lots of critical thinking!
If you want to learn about this, have a look at the fold-out posters they prepared and then presented to the rest of the classmates.
What is your idea of success? That's the question in Unit 3, and there you will find some examples of people who managed to achieve their goals and be successful.
Let's start revising some vocabulary that we have learnt in class:
We have also studied the PAST CONTINUOUS ; have a look at the PRESENTATION we saw in class. And you have more practice here.
We also worked on WORD FAMILIES dealing with some interesting vocabulary to talk about personal goals and success; you can revise it here:
Finally, we learnt about the use of PAST SIMPLE and CONTINUOUS in sentences with WHEN or WHILE. You have some practice here and a game.
If you are into fashion and dressing up, you will find this unit pretty interesting; as always, here you can find a few activities to practise the vocabulary and grammar in unit 3:
This unit is about health and well-being, so apart from improving and practising your English, you will learn lots of interesting things that can help you have a better health.
Ready? Let's start!
Here you can practise the new vocabulary studied related to HEALTH and WELL-BEING:
Time to learn some new grammar: MODAL VERBS. You can try this matching activity to see when to use each:
The environment (and protecting it) is the main topic of this unit. We all have to take care of our planet and try to leave it in the best condition for future generations. Once again we will learn lots of English at the same time we learn many other useful things not only for us, but for the rest of the world.
Let's start revising some new vocabulary related to PROTECTING THE PLANET. You can use these activities to help you revise it:
In this unit, we learn that we can protect the environment with things we may take for granted, such as the quantity of clothes we buy. Watch this video to learn more about it:
The main grammar point of this unit is THE PASSIVE voice, which is used a lot in English. Here you have some practice:
To master the passive voice it will be essential that you master PAST PARTICIPLES and we all know that irregular verbs can be quite a nightmare. Why don't you try this fun practice? It includes the past simple forms too:
Time to learn some new vocabulary, this time related to MATERIALS. Again you have some activities to practise:
We listened to a radio programme in which a young girl talked about a beach clean-up. Did you know that some former students at IES Selgas carried out a beach clean-up? Watch this video to learn more about their amazing work!
We continued working, this time to learn how to use the verbs BE ALLOWED TO / MAKE / LET. You can watch this video to revise how they work:
Then we studied IMPERSONAL PHRASES, which are very much used when we are not interested in who did the action or we ignore it. Here you have some practice:
We finished the unit learning to write a post for a blog. Since the topic of the unit is the environment, the post was about an environmentally friendly product. This video shows why we should be more concerned about using them:
