Well, today is the first day of summer and the course is coming to an end.

Last week we were practicing the construction used to + infinitive to talk about habits in the past.

For questions and negative sentences we use the auxiliary verb did. I didn't use to go out very often.

We listen to a woman talk about her school days and we talked about subjects we used to like or dislike.

One expression I want to remind you of: there was far too much, said Mick Jagger talking about homework when he was a teenager. We use the adverb far to say something is a certain way to a great extent. Another example: the house was far too big for the two of us. I don't really expect you to use this expression, but you should at least understand it.

We have also been practicing the Present Perfect tense versus the Simple Past.

For HOMEWORK I handed out a worksheet with various exercises: sentences where you have to include used to or didn't used to, then reading and interview about somebody's schooldays where you have to match the questions with the right paragraph.

If you have enough time you can also do a writing about your schooldays. You can follow the model in the book, that is, the interview you have to read: say the name of your school, say weather you were a rebel or not, talk about the subjects you used to like and the ones you didn't use to like, the teachers you used to like and the ones you didn't use to like, what you wanted to be when you grew up and finally if you learned anything important from your experience.
