Thursday 8th


Hello Everybody:
Remember to keep this window open to optimize time.
Let’s start with some listening. Go to:
http://www.elllo.org/english/0951/T988-George-BreakUp.htm

And HIDE THE TEXT to start with. Listen and show the text the second time if you need to. If you don’t, then answer the questions straight away.
Let’s practice some collocations (combinations of word that occur with a higher frequency)
Go to:

http://www.oup.com/elt/global/products/americanheadway/ahy_games_home/#

Click on level 2 for MARBLES. This is like memory. You click on a word and you need to find the partner (and memorize it) to find the combinations. Good luck!
Shall we practice some grammar?
Go to:

http://www.oup.com/elt/global/products/americanheadway/ahy_level2_home/ahy_level2_u04_01/
And choose the correct answer.
Let’s listen again. Go to:

http://www.esl-lab.com/elem/elemrd1.htm#pre

And choose the correct alternative.
Go to:

http://www2.cambridge.org/interchangearcade/launch.do?activityID=365&level=3&unit=1&type=Cup_drag_and_drop&stage=1

And do the activity.
Go to:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/apps/ifl/worldservice/quiznet/quizengine?
ContentType=text/html;quiz=1238_like

Use of “like”

And choose the correct answer.
Let’s check some vocabulary.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/flash/wordmaster/
You can play something else on this website, or do a different activity or go to:

http://www.santiagotimes.cl/santiagotimes/index.php/2009092017157/news/cultural-news/index.php

And check the news for tomorrow.

Do not forget to post your comments on this blog.
