Happy New Year 2015!

Let's hope it's a good one

Without any fear.

(Happy Christmas by John Lennon)

In our first lesson this term we studied  will + verb for predictions.

For instance, when you say:

I am having a job interview tomorrow. (We use the present continuous to talk about the near future. Remember? That's the last thing we studied last month.)

And somebody, who is a bit pessimistic tells you:

You won't (will not) get the job.  That is a prediction, which may come or not come true.

We practiced conversations like that one, then we practiced the pronunciation of  the contractions: I'll, you'll, he'll, she'll, it'll we'll, you'll, we'll, they'll. Also the difference between the words want and won't.

We listened the presentation of a Radio Program. In this program they talk about how important it is to have a positive attitude in life: to be optimistic as opposed to pessimistic.

You can find that listening plus 2 more in the Aula Virtual: Remember that in order to log in you must use your ID number + letter as a user's name and a password, which is the same for everybody. Call the school if you don't remember it.

The names of the files for listening are: Want & Won't, Radio Program and Tips.  We didn't do the last one in class but I suggest you listen to it at home and then write 4 tips given in the program to stay positive.

HOMEWORK

Write 10 statements as the example above followed by a  negative predictions using will + verb or won't + verb.

I am having a job interview tomorrow.   

You won't get the job.

You can also do the listening exercise written above.
