2017.04.26 - Class 25

Exam prep

After reviewing your homework, you did a few review exercises based on the Use of English parts 1 and 4 that you did last week.

You also did some work with the Reading part 1 that you did last week.

Then you completed parts from a Listening paper.

We continued practicing for Speaking part 2. This time you spoke about the same set of pictures with two different classmates and then wrote out your answer a third time. The idea is to improve on what you say each time so that by the third time you have a very good answer.

Music

We also did a listening exercise based on some music from a television series.:

What do you hear? Think of:

1. the instruments
2. the place (city, country)
3. the occasion (event)
4. the time period
5. what it reminds you of

Afterwards, we watched the full video.

Pronunciation

We also watched a few scenes from Modern Family series 2 episode 6 that play on the fact that Gloria has a Colombian Spanish accent in English. Why did Jay get a package of Jesus figurines?
