TIME FLIES


In our last class we checked some grammar exercises on pages 92 and 93 and worked more on both physical and psychological descriptions putting into practice the vocabulary you know , or at leat you should.
In your books on page 91, the reading activity about Frida Kahlo was done with two collocation exercises ,eg:she was confined to travelling/her room, she had illness/surgery. Then , on the following page ,we started to deal with modal verbs of deductions with a listening about people discussing some famous paintings: must be, can´t be .This activity led us to more explanations in your grammars on page 72.I mean to review all modal verbs of unit 5 since you can cope with them without much trouble.
For homework:
Workbook:
- page 44.
- pages 46 and 47 ,numbers 1,2,3,4 and 5
- pages 49 and 50, vocabulary exercises numbers 1,2,3 and 5
- page 52, grammar exercises 1,2,3,4 and 5
-Grammar : pages 72 and 73 about modal verbs.
This seems an awful lot of things to do, but let me remind you that you have the answers for all the exercises ,that you should be doing them without being told, that they are a review of what you know and finally that we won´t have class until next Monday, so you can. Remember the proverb :When there´s a will there´s a way.
