We have finally finished unit 7, the one related to technology and that's why the idiom of the day had to do with it: behind the times. Some of the students got the meaning right.
After seeing that we continued some grammar, direct versus indirect questions. Indirect questions are used in more formal situations, for example at work, when we want to sound more polite, asking for directions, or when we want to ask a controversial question, if someone is married for example.
Indirect questions are introduced by Could you tell me...? or Do you know...? After these we would use if/whether with yes/no questions or an interrrogative particle. Then we use the same structure as in affirmative sentences.
We practised this first on paper and then asking each other examples of controversial questions.
The we started unit 8. We saw some vocabulary related to natural disasters and we talked about weather conditions and natural disasters on TV and in our country.
For homework students must do exercise 6 and 7 from page 61; and 3c and d from page 62.
