Lesson 2 mindmapping, typical day

Let's see the diagram of your answers.


















Speaking

Read the texts and discuss the questions with your "neighbour".( addressed to all of the students). Then we will discuss them all together.

Present yourself , ( p  9 Think Teen)

Hello! I'm Magda from Nafplio, Greece. I'm 12 years old and I'm in the first grade of Junior High school. I'm an only child, but it's OK. I've got lots of friends. I like dancing and I love musicals! My favourite one is ‘Cats'. It's English. What are your hobbies? 


How does the writer start?

What does she say about herself?

Hi, there! My name's Jennifer but my friends call me Jenny. That's my nickname. I'm from Cambridge, a city in the east of England. I study Spanish at school. It isn't difficult. I love it! My sister, Mary, hates it. What's your favourite language?

What is the aim of the paragraph?Which  particular aspect of her life does she explain to us?


E mails are written for a variety of reasons


The style of writing in your wmails can be formal, semi-formal or informal depending on the rubric and the target reader.

          Dear Tim, thanks dor your last email. I hink it's great you want to brush up your English and of course I am only too glad to help.Here are a few things you can try.
First of all, it would be a great idea to start reading more in English.As  are you so fond of nature, why don' t you subscribe to National Geographic?You will be amazed at how fast you pick up things when you actually like the subject.
         Another suggestion is to watch films without the subtitles. That way you force yourself to listen to the language very carefully.For a film lover like you, that' ll be learning while really having fun!
         The best advice I can give you , though, is to get more English speaking pen-friends and email friends. The method really worked for me when I wanted to improve my Italian. Not only you learn a lot of new phrases,but you also practise the language actively yourself.
          I hope these ideas will help.Remember, practice makes perfect, so don't give up too easily!Write and let me know how you get on.

    Best wishes,

    Pam
