Last week we did not have the chance to correct homework. We'll do it next Tuesday.

Next Tuesday is our last class this term. Then it's Easter Holidays or Spring Holidays. Spring started yesterday, so now, when we say the season at the beginning of the lesson you must say Spring.

I am happy we are in spring, although the weather is not very good yet.

Here is an easy quizz for you about the spring. Do the exercise and write the sentences on your notebook.

Hello boys and girls!

What did we do last Tuesday? We practiced talking about towns and cities and we learned some more adjectives:

Charming, fascinating, hectic, clean, dirty, safe, dangerous, romantic.

We used those adjectives to describe cities from all over the world: New York, Quebec City, Singapore, London, Bangkok, Ho Chi Ming City.

Then we listened to some people talk about those cities and say what they thought about them.

For HOMEWORK   choose 4 of our 6 cities New York, Quebec City, Singapore, London, Bangkok, Ho Chi Ming City. do a little research in the Internet about those cities. You must answer the questions:

1. Where is it ( New York, London, etc)?

2. How many people live in ____?  ( New York, London, etc)?

3. Are there skyscrapers in  ____?  ( New York, London, etc)?

4. What language do people speak in ____?  ( New York, London, etc)?

Example:

1. London is in the UK.

2. There are about 8 million people in London. (About means that it is not exact.)

3. Yes, there are. One skyscraper is the Shard.

4. People speak English in London.

1 of the cities is mandatory for each student, you can decide the other 3.
Olivia: Quebec City.
Sergio: Ho Chi Min City.
Irene: Singapore
Gonzalo: Bangkok
NuriaQuebec City.
Ruben: Ho Chi Min City.

It is easy: just put the question in Google.

Hi children!

Yesterday we continued studying about cities, towns and villages. 

Remember the adjectives we had learned to describe them?

Industrial, beautiful, tourist, historic, old, modern, quiet, crowded?

You seem to have forgotten some of them, the ones in big and black letters.

I am saying this because yesterday, when you had to describe a city or a town you kept repeating the same ones: beautiful, tourist...

Yesterday we listened to a recording. In this recording  3 people from the UK talked about their cities or towns: one of them lived in Liverpool, another one in Brighton and the last one in Oxford. 

Students had to fill in some gaps in a text with the information they understood from the recording.


Later the class was divided into two teams and they competed against each other asking questions about some towns and cities we already know something about.

They had to ask the questions:

What's _______(name of a city or town) like?

Or say:

Tell me something about_________(name of a city or town) .

HOMEWORK

Do this exercise about London. Some of the answers you may not know, like how long is the River Thames, but it doesn't matter.
