Last week we reviewed parts of the body and prepositions of place. Then we were talking about a painting by the French painter Toulouse Lautrec.We listened to a recording and identified the people in the painting.

We also talked about travelling and airports and watched a video where a passenger checks in his suitcases. Students practiced the conversation between the flying assistant and the passenger. Useful vocabulary for the airport: arrivals, departures, check in, gate, window seat, aisle seat, hand luggage, flying assistant, departure lounge, passport, ticket.

We did another listening and found out how Mark and Ally met. Then we practiced question asking, which is always useful, as we need to think which verb tense we are using and which is the necessary auxiliary verb to make the question. Verb tenses that students should understand and use are: the Present Simple: do you work in Madrid?, Pr. Continuous: Are you working right now?, Past Simple: did you pack the bags yourself? Present Perfect: how long have you been here?

If you couldn't come to class and wish to watch the video about the airport, here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCyWGjDNPnY We only did the check in part.
