10th Class

10th Class

First we started the tenth English class with homework. The homework of this week were making a dialogue with a piece of paper that the teacher gave us . In the piece of paper had a little history and we had to make a phone dialogue between two people. We listened to our classmate to understand the situation. For example, a dialogue was about a mother calling her son to know if he had watered the plants.

After the teacher gave us a photocopy of grammar review. We had to translate English phrases and then write them in simple past simple.

Examples

-¿Dónde vive Peter? / Where does Peter live?/ Where did Peter live?

-¿Estás en casa?/ Are you at home?/ Were you at home?

-¿Puedes prestarme tu coche?/ Can you lend me your car?/ Could you lend me your car?

-No me gusta comer fuera /I don’t like eating out/ I din’t like eating out

-Mike trabaja en Londres/ Mike work in London/ Mike worked in London

-¿Qué están celebrando?/ What are they celebrating?/ What were ther celebrating?

-Estoy haciendo los deberes/ I am doing the homeworks/ I was doing the homeworks.

Then we continued with another photocopy that was about Past simple and Past continuos. In the photocopy had a dialogue, before looking, we hear the dialogue and tried to understand. The dialogue was about a telephone conversation between a mother and daughter. The daughter was sad because she heard her boyfriend talking on the phone with someone and her boyfriend said “I love you”. She immediately thought he was cheating on her and her mother said she that probably there was a reasonable explanation.

                                      

                                           

We continued to see some pictures and answering some questions.

At the  end of photocopy there was a picture of a traffic accident and had to do a text that had been using the past simple and past continuous.

In addition we had to include in the text the following keywords

-Tow truck

-Crashed

-Crosssroad

-Injure
