for having explored Google Docs!

ACTIVITY 1 - Read your classmates' movie reviews and make comments on them giving your opinion which is expected to help them to improve their work. Take into consideration what follows:

1- Layout: Is the document properly presented: Is the article divided into paragraphs? does it include illustrating images?
2- Are there any spelling errors?
3- Vocabulary: Is it varied or not?
4- Readability: Are the articles easy to read or not? 

ACTIVITY 2

Feedback to comments on previous post

Dear students:

I am very pleased beacuse you liked  the listening activities I posted. Your comments were quite long and very good! Here is  my feedback on some common mistakes.

  • in or at the beginning/the end?
at the beginning means the first part; e.g.: The front matter is at the beginning of the book. The place where something begins or is begun: at the beginning of the road.

in the beginning - with reference to the origin or beginning
primitively, originally

in the end -means finally, at the end of the day.  e.g: Despite all the problems of putting on the play, it was a grand success, and that was all that mattered in the end

At ended, I have remembered a lot of things which made me feel good.
  • It was “Hole in my soul” by Aerosmith and that was hard difficulty (mmm.... This is not a very clear sentence, I am afraid )
  • I don´t know how can I say en English (word order: I can say)
Well, that is all for now. 

Oh, before finishing this post, I would like to give you one more listening activity, but this one is about a song for South Africa Football World Cup,  " Wavin' Flag " by K'nann. If you pay attention, you'll find more interactive activities at the end of the song. Click HERE

Best, Nelba
