We started the lesson yesterday sith pronunciation again. Specifically we had a look at the pronunciation of: live / lives / leave / leaves
- Live (verb) /liv/ - My parents don't live here in Valencia.
- Live (adjective) /laiv/ - Last night we went to a live concert.
- Leave (verb) /li:v/ - Tomorrow we won't leave until 10 am.
- Lives (3rd person singular of live) /livz/ - My son lives in Alicante.
- Lives (plural of life) /laivz/ - This vaccine will save thousands of lives.
- Leaves (3rd person singular of leave or plural of leaf) /li:vz/ - Look at the leaves falling from the trees.
We then saw the idiom of the day: to work for peanuts. Most students got the meaning right and a few of them came up with interesting possible meanings.
Afterwards we continued checking the homework: exercise 5 from page 15. Students had to choose the correct verb forms.
After having seen that we started unit 2B; this section is about street food. In pairs they had a look at vocabulary about food and different ways of cooking. Some students didn't know the meaning of beans, lamb, flour, cucumber, avocado or stir fry. Other students explained to their classmates the meaning of these words. Then we all talked about our favourite food and what we usually have for breakfast and lunch.
We continued with the reading activity on page 16. It's about a photographer who travels around the world trying street food and writes about it on his blog. Students asked each other out loud the questions on exercise 3.
The text had different examples of present continuous and present simple. And we matched the different examples with the rules for both tenses. For homework students must do exercise 6 from page 17.
See you Wednesday!
