SUMMARY OF THURSDAY NOVEMBER 8th
Hi!
Here is the summary of the last class, November 8th:
First of all, we corrected the homework (ex.1,2,3 p.17)
After that, we started the lesson 2c p.20: Speaking nº1: In group of three, we discuss about the method of transport which has had the most positive impact on our lives: cars, trains or planes. There was a tie between cars and planes.
Then, we read the text “the rise of the bicycle” and we spoke about the topic.
Finally, we discuss about the greatest technological innovation since 1800 (ex.4 p.20). Simon explained his choice justifying his opinions.
And….Here you have the homework for Tuesday:
-Ex.3 p.20
-And the following photocopy I have added below.
That’s all!! See you on Tuesday!
PHOTOCOPY: HOMEWORK 08-11-2012
1) For questions 1-13, read the following note, written by a club member. Use the information in the note to complete the numbered gaps in the letter to the club secretary. Use no more than two words for each gap. The exercise begins with an example (0).
A. INFORMAL NOTE
Maggie,
I'm afraid 1 can't make the youth club meeting on Thursday after all. The boss wants me to go to Spain — she only let me know last night.
Anyway, I've written to Mrs Burgess to let her know 1 can't come and also I wanted a chance to tell her what 1 think about a couple of the things that will come up for discussion. One is what should we do with the extra money? 1 know some people think we should keep the fees the same or even cut them a little but 1 really think the club house needs doing up. It's in a terrible state — some paint and some new wallpaper would be a start. Te my mind, this really is the best thing to do.
She also thought it would be a good idea if we met more often. Well, for once 1 agree with her. (It doesn't happen very often, does it?) We might get more done.
Have a nice meeting! I'll think of you as 1 tuck into my paella.
George

2) Peter and Sue are in the shopping centre. Complete their conversation by putting the verbs into the infinitive or the -ing form.
Peter :Have we done al¡ the shopping now?
Sue Yes, I think so. I must remember (post) this letter.
Peter I remember (pass) a postbox somewhere.
Sue Just a minute, where's my purse? It isn't in my handbag.
Peter Did you forget (bring) it?
Sue No, I had it not long ago. And my credit card is in there. Oh, my God, what are we going to do? Peter Just stop (worry) and think. You must have put it down somewhere and forgotten (pick) it up. Try (remember) when you had it last.
Sue I remember (have) it in the shoe shop.
Peter Then you stopped (buy) a newspaper ...
Sue Oh, it's all right. It's here in the, shopping bag. Sony. 1 can't remember (put) it there.
Peter You could try (chain) it to your hand next time.
3) Complete the short article on the bicycle as a form of transport. Put in these words or phrases: after, also, although, because, but, but also, either, if, not only, on the other hand, or, so, that, when, whereas. (Some of the words or phrases may be used more than once.)
The bicycle
Driving a car can be expensive. The bicycle, ... , is a cheap form of transport. A bicycle ... costs very little ... lasts much longer than a car. It is ... very cheap to use ... of course it doesn't need any fuel. In fact, it costs practically nothing ... you've bought it. It ... helps keep you fit ... you get exercise ... you ride it. Another good thing about a bicycle is ... it doesn't pollute the air. ... everyone rode bicycles instead of driving cars, we wouldn't be using up the world's oil so quickly.
…..the bicycle has these advantages, it has some disadvantages táo. It is convenient only for relatively short journeys, ... by car you can travel quite a long way in comfort. Another problem is ... the cyclist is not protected from the weather and gets wet ... it rains. Cycling isn't very Hice in heavy traffic .... In Britain there are very few cycle paths, ... bicycles have to share the road with cars and lorries. The best place for a bike ride is a quiet country lane. Main roads and city streets are often ... busy ... it needs some courage to take a bike on them. The cyclist has no protection, and ... he is more likely than a motorist to be seriously hurt ... killed ... he does have an accident. Cycling keeps you healthy, ... the cars may kill you!
