Good afternoon everyone!! I hope exams are over soon and you return little by little to class.
Yesterday we started the lesson with the idiom of the day: move the goalposts! Since in the last couple of lessons the topic was football I thought it was the time to introduce a football-related idiom. You'll see the explanation in another post tomorrow.

| British versus American English |
Then we corrected the homework, exercises 3a and 5a from unit 4D, pages 36 and 37. This served as an introduction for the following discussion: a series of statements about some controversial topics such as women and sport, fast food, environment, or cheating in exams. Fortunately, it was a peaceful discussion and everyone provided their argument and acknowledge other students' arguments.
After that we started with unit 5A; this first section is related to houses and we cover the use of comparatives and superlatives. First of all we saw the vocabulary that describes types of homes, parts of a home and locations. Some of the most confusing words included detached versus terraced houses, the suburbs, a study, or a loft. With this vocabulary students then described the place where they live.
Finally I explained how British and American people have different concepts of the first and ground floors. You can see a graphic description in the picture next to this.
For homework students must do exercises 1b and 2 from page 40.
