We have started the class today with the idiom of the day: couch potato. Elias came up with an interesting theory about its meaning: an ugly sofa; nice try, but he got it wrong. I'll write a post tomorrow about this idiom.
Then, after giving the compositions back, we had a look at some of the mistakes that appeared frequently on some of the compositions:
- Arrive at + building, place. The police arrived at the crime scene.
- Arrive in + city, country. We'll arrive in New York tomorrow at 6 pm.
- Verbs with the preposition at followed by the noun home:
Stay, sleep, be, eat at home. I don't feel like going out tonight, I'll stay at home.
- Verbs with no preposition followed by the noun home:
Arrive, go, drive, walk Æ home. Don't take the bus, I'll drive you home.
Afterwards we continued checking the homework. Questions from exercise 6 page 7 were asked out loud among students and then in pairs to practise questions & answers in different tenses. Then we read out loud the text from page 8 and checked the exercise 4 from page 9.
To finish the lesson we had a look at the grammar point on page 9: Positive and negative forms, words and phrases.
Complete this sentence: I've gone blind, I can't see with ______ of my eyes.
For homework, exercise 6 from page 9 and exercise 1 from page 10.
See you on Monday.
