Module 6

Hello, students!

Welcome to this new post where we are going to begin revising and practising a grammar point:
 -ed/-ing adjectives.

As we did in the previous module, I want you to revise this topic in your book on page 148. Now you are going to check if you  really know which form is the most suitable in the following online exercise. Click HERE


You have also studied Extreme Adjectives Let´s read a blog post and do this fill in the gaps exercise.Click HERE 

I was surfing the net looking for listening activities about movie reviews and came across this interesting website: http://www.ecenglish.com/learnenglish/subject/Listening
You cannot complain! There is a varied list of videos (some of them are movie trailers!) with online activities (click on "Read more").

Oh, by the way Héctor from Adults 5A asked me for online classical short stories and here is the link! 

I hope you will enjoy these activities and online resources. 
See you next month,
Nelba  :-)

DEADLINE: May 31st

Feedback

Dear students:

I am very :-)  for two reasons: First, you made fewer mistakes than in the first post. Congrats!!!! That means you are making an effort to improve your English. Second, most of you found the interactive activities interesting and helpful, so I will keep on offering you more in the blog.

Well, I'll make some comments on the mistakes you made:
  • some exercise is not right :-(  The correct version is some exercises
  • I lost the line of the game at the finish :-(  You should say at the end. 
  • I like very much the third exercise.(word order problem) You should say I like the third exercise very much
  • The first and the second points were differents  Remember that adjectives do not have plural forms 
  • i've liked the excercise number 4  You keep on forgetting the capital letter for the pronoun "I"
  • this activities :-(   these activities.
  • Mercedes and Héctor did not mention the courses they belong to. Remember to sign you comments properly!!!
Before leaving, I would like to thank Emiliano from Adults 5D for the links he gave us for further practice. (check comments in Module 5 post)

Finally, I would like to invite you to become "authors" in this blog. Gustavo and Fabia from Adults 5A have already accepted and have their own spaces in this blog to write about any topic they like.

If you want to become a blogger, let me know by sending me a mail to escuelaunlp@yahoo.com.ar with the subject: I want to become a blogger. 


Bye bye, next week there will be a new post!
