LIONFISH


After checking your homework in workbook page 32 numbers 4,5, and 6 , I collected the last formal letters of complaint, then there was a listening activity that I also took for marking. I need some objective references to assess your progress in the different abilities of the language , in doing so you´ll know with time in advance what skills you have to improve.
A speaking activity about the relationship of children with technology and their parents´attitude.Book page 59, reading number 1.This is more important than the reading itself, so we devoted quite a lot of time to talking about this issue.
A handout with vocabulary related to mobile phones and computers .VERY IMPORTANT , the same as the vocabulary in your workbook and book that have to do with technology.Although you may find it boring now, it might be extremely useful in the future when it comes to working for an English speaking company.
For homework : glossary unit 6.
The lionfish is also known as Dragon Fish. The lionfish are voracious predators. When they are hunting, they corner their prey using their large fins and then use their quick reflexes to swallow the prey . They are remarkable for their extremely long and separated spines, and have a striped appearance, red, brown, orange, yellow, black, or white.The venom of the spines is extremely painful, If a spine punctures you, you will experience severe pain and headaches and vomiting. As I usually say: just look and enjoy their beauty ,but never touch anything.
