B1 class 25/01/2016

The lesson started yesterday talking about the past long weekend; Friday was a bank holiday in Valencia but some students spent the weekend studying for exams.

We also had an interesting discussion about the advantages of using Apple operating systems and gadgets; I'm still not convinced it's that great but anyway... ;-)

Then I introduced the idiom of the day: an odd bird; once students knew the meaning of odd it became easier to guess the meaning of this idiomatic expression.

We continued the lesson with the listening activity on page 35 which served as an introduction for a conversation about things to do in Valencia for free. The conclusion was there are very few things you can do in Valencia for free, except for some museums, but on Sundays you can climb the Serranos and Quart towers.

Then we continued with the listening activity on page 36, I had modified the questions a little bit, which made the whole activity far more difficult. This listening activity also served as an introduction for the next discussion: footballers and salaries, and violence in football. It was complicated to agree on this.

For homework students must do exercise 3a on page 36 and exercise 5a on page 37.

See youy tomorrow in class.
