Hello everyone, it's been a long weekend and some of you have decided to extend it a little bit.

We started the lesson with the idiom of the day: While the cat's away, the mice will play. A couple of students got the meaning right. I'll post tomorrow the explanation for it.

Then we continued the lesson correcting rhew homework: ten sentences for rewriting. You can also do the exercise online if you click here. Also for homework we checked exercise 6 on page 25. This was related to present perfect simple or continuous. Then in pairs we did the exercise 3B on pages 102 and 107: students asked each other the questions using the present perfect simple or the past simple.

Then in pairs again students corrected the reading exercise on page 26: two young people who went on a volunteer holiday and tell their experience.

We concluded the lesson with a listening exercise about India in which two people asked for recommendations about the things to do there. We also completed all together exercise 3 where we studied different ways to recommend things.

For homework students must do exercise 5 b and d from page 27 and I gave them two photocopies with the a cloze exercise you can also do online and another rewriting exercise. You can download these exercises here.
