Hello everyone! it took me a while to write this post about yesterday's class but it's finally here.
Yesterday we started the lesson with the idiom of the day: 'snowed under'. Then we checked the homework that was given for that day. It was a reading exercise about laughter yoga clubs, something that Dr Madan Kataria started in Mumbai twenty years ago. This person is a real one and you can see him explaining what Laughter Yoga is in this video. Also for homework was exercise about adjectives followed by prepositions. We used these adjectives to talk about situations in which we felt that way.
We then continued with the listening exercise from page 12 in which two couples have an informal conversation. This listening activity served as an introduction to question tags which are frequently used in conversations:
-You are coming to class next Monday, aren't you?
- Yes, I am. And you will explain again the questions tags, won't you?
As you can notice from the examples, we take the auxiliary verb to form the question tag. If the sentence is affirmative, the question tag is negative; and if the sentence is negative, the question tag is affirmative.
We did in class exercise 3 from page 12 related to question tags and then we had controlled practice of this asking each other some questions and then using the question tags.
You have all understood how we form question tags, haven't you?
For next Wednesday you must write a composition about your last holidays. You must use past tenses and adjectives + prepositions describing feelings. The idea is describe how you felt during those holidays rather than to talk about what you did.
