UNIT 4: SPEND! (2nd ESO)


Money, spending, shopping... We are sure these issues concern you, so the topic of this unit will be a rather interesting one. 

Let's start by learning some very basic vocabulary:


Want to revise some MONEY VERBS? Just click on the words to access some flashcards that will help you do so. 

Time to learn about QUANTIFIERS (some, any, a lot of, much, many...) so that you buy or sell the correct amounts... Here you have some extra practice:


Sometimes quantities are excessive and sometimes insufficient, that's why we have TOO MUCH/TOO MANY and (NOT) ENOUGH. Need more practice?


                            
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:


Make sure you also know how to compare using (NOT) AS... + ADJECTIVE + AS...

With this game, you can test your knowledge of comparatives/superlatives and your aim 🏹!

Money can often be a source of problems. What do you do when you have a problem? Who do you talk to? Do you ask for advice? Watch this video to see how you can ask for and give advice:

We are almost finished! The WRITING of the unit is related to NOTES and MESSAGES. Try this EXERCISE

Remember we studied TOO and (NOT) ENOUGH? Lucky you, these words can also be used with ADJECTIVES 😉. Don't worry, here you have some further practice: test yourself with this KAHOOT

Now we are finished! Hope you are ready to carry out the unit project 💸💰🤑!

UNIT 4: INVENTION (3rd ESO)

 


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:


Need some extra practice? Here you have plenty:


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...
