Hello, my very competitive students!

Yesterday we spent a lot of time practicing questions in the 3rd person singular of the Simple Present: asking questions:

What does Stanley cook on Thursday?

Does Stanley cook Italian food on Monday?

What does Irene do?

Some of you have already got the trick of it and ask question very well.


On Thursday he cooks Puerto Rican food.

Yes, he does. On Monday he cooks Italian food.

Irene watches TV.

We started to study the names of TV programs.

Cartoons, news, talk shows, game shows, reality shows, sitcoms, series.
We spent some time pronouncing those words.

Then we continued playing our frequency adverbs game. And it's incredible, but we haven't finished yet. I hope next day...

HOMEWORK

1.Ask the questions for these answers: Example: Yes, my brother walks to school every day. Question: Does your brother walk to school everyday?

No, Stanley doesn't cook Russian food.

He cooks Greek food on Tuesday.

After school I watch TV.

After lunch, my mother sleeps on the sofa.

No, my father doesn't play the piano.

2. Answer the questions:

What cartoons do you watch?

What series do you watch?

What game shows do you watch?

Hi C5 kids!

It was a nice class yesterday. There is a bunch of smart students in this group. I can't imagine how much you would learn if you didn't so much to say to each other in Spanish.

In our lesson students had to work with a partner and ask him/her:

What do you do?
What don't you do?

And they had to give to answers for each question. Example: 
I play the guitar and I read books.
I don't comb my hair and I don't eat fish.

Later, students had to report what their partner had told them. Example:
He/She plays the guitar and reads books.
He/She doesn't comb his/her hair and doesn't eat fish.

We also practiced the prepositions before and after. Before spring: winter. After spring: summer.

We reviewed all the actions we are studying and played Around the World. Then we continued with a board game in which we have to make sentences using the Simple Present and a frequency adverb: always, usually, often, sometimes, seldom and never.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It was nice to see you all yesterday. And I'm glad you all got good presents from the Three Wise Men and from Santa.

We started a new unit. It is about what we do in our Free Time. First we listened to a recording of a girl saying what she usually does after school.

First, she listens to music, then she does her homework. After that, she has dinner with her family, and so on.

In these sentences, because they express actions that happen everyday, we use the Simple Present.

This form of the verb is very easy in English.

Example: verb to read:

I               read

You          read

He/She/It reads

We           read

You          read

They        read

As you can see, only the 3rd person singular is a bit different: it has an s.

To make questions we use an auxiliary: the Simple Present of to do.

I               do
You          do
He/She/It does

We           do
You          do
They        do

It's like this:

Do I                  read?

Do you             read?

Does he/she/it  read?

Do we               read?

Do you              read?

Do they             read?

And finally when we make a negative sentence:

I               don't     read

You          don't     read

He/She/It doesn't read

We           don't     read

You          don't     read

They        don't     read

We studied a number of actions which were not completely new for the students:

Wake up, get dressed, have breakfast or lunch or dinner, wash you face or your hands or your hair, brush your teeth, comb your hair, brush your hair, walk, run, do your homework, do exercise, play an instrument, play sports, play games, sing, cook, buy, sleep, go out, ride your bike.

In the last part of our class we played a board game. Students had to make sentences in the Simple Present using one of the following adverbs: Always,usually,  often,  sometimes,seldom, never.

Homework:

Answer the questions:

1. What do you after breakfast?

2. What do you do after the English class in Learn&Enjoy?

3. What does your mother do after breakfast? (Ask her, your mother)

4. What does your father do after breakfast? (Ask him, your father)
