Hello!

Last week we studied the First Conditional: if + present simple, ... will + infinitive.
We use it to talk about things which are likely to happen in the future when a condition comes true.

We usually start sentences with the word If, but we can also use when and other words which we haven't studied yet.
When you finish your soup I'll give you some ice-cream.

Something in a movie I was watching reminded me of you and our lesson last Wednesday.
A man and a woman are talking at a party. They have just met. He asks her to run away with him, he says he is in love with her. "But you don't know me" she replies. "We have just met". I think that is a good example of the difference between know and meet.
Other two verbs that are a bit confusing for Spanish speakers are borrow and lend:

May a borrow your green blouse, please? I haven't got anything to wear for the party.

I'll lend it to you if you promise to be careful and not to spill anything on it.

Well, here is a video to practice the conditional. Watch it ( it may be difficult to understand at first, but you'll understand better if you listen 2 or 3 times). Anyway, in the second part of the video there are subtitles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSDxMaC0QYc

Hi!

You already have the listenings in the Aula Virtual so you can do your homework.

Last week we practiced shopping vocabulary: if you shopping for clothes, you remember the words: size, try on, fitting room. Other words related to shopping are exchange, refund, receipt, order, discount, sales tax.

We did an information gap activity. Students had to ask each other questions:

What did he buy at ______ ?
How mach was or were the_______?
How much was the total?
How did he pay for it?

We also read and role played a conversation.

We have got to the end of the unit. Grammar points we have studied are.

- Verbs followed by either an infinitive or the -ing form of the verb.
Le me remind you that after I would like you must always use an infinitive.
After verbs such as like, love, hate, prefer, enjoy, you use the -ing form.
After a preposition you always  use the -ing form.

We have studied and practiced modal verbs to express obligation: have to and must. We use the auxiliary verb do to make questions and negative sentences with have to. Not to have to is not the same as  must not. 

We have also studied modifiers such as a bit, quite, really, very, incredibly.

So that's what your homework is about.

Hello everybody!

Last week we practiced some modal verbs that express obligation: have to and must.

You have to be on time  and You must be on time  are very much the same. You can use either verb as you please.

You need to be more careful with the negative form of these verbs:

You mustn't  open that door: it means that you are not allowed to open that door. It's a rule.

You don't have to open that door: nobody is telling not to open that door, only that you have no need to do it.

In our last lesson we spend most of the time working on a listening about an English woman who travels to Poland to demonstrate how much Polish she's learned in a one month course.

You can check the listening again in the Aula Virtual. It's called Anna in Poland. I also uploaded another listening. This one is very short, the title is Buying clothes and if you have the time you can listen to it at home and answer the questions on your sheet under the same title.

Remember that for homework you have to do the writing on page 61: a formal email asking for information about a course you would like to enroll on.
