A2 week 12

Next Thursday, we won’t talk on Skype. As you probably know it’s a local holiday here. On Tuesday, we’ll keep working on oral interactions 1-18.

Monday, June 01, 2020

C1.2 Week 11 and 12

We’re keeping our sessions on Skype going for a couple more weeks. Although from Monday 8th, I’m changing the format slightly so that those who wish to prepare for their oral interaction too can do so. We’ll be focusing on ‘dialogos’ 1-7 from the September 2018 exam. We’ll still be working on a one-on-one basis so I’ll play your partner’s role. It goes without saying that if someone prefers to keep working on their ’monologos’ or some other aspect they can just let me know on Skype this week and we’ll figure something out.

A2 week 11 and 12

We’re keeping our Tuesday and Thursday sessions going for two more weeks. Keep preparing oral interactions 1-18.

Will we find a way to make Spain a socially fairer, more environmentally sustainable country in the aftermath of this pandemic?

A2 week 10

Textbook. Pages 118 and 119.

We're having our usual Skype sessions on Tuesday and Thursday. Remember that you had to prepare oral interaction tasks 1-18. (dialogos del uno al dieciocho).

Textbook. Pages 100 and 101.

Those of you who are interested in writing our last piece of the year can do so on Wednesday. You’ll have one hour to write a 250 for and against essay whose subject matter I’ll let you know about on Wednesday at 19:00 sharp. I’ll be expecting your pieces emailed to me by 20:00. Those of you who have already passed their writing won’t have to take this test and can have their Skype sessions at the costumary time on Wednesday. If you have any questions about this we can discuss them during today on Skype.
