Hello again!

Yesterday we continued practicing the Present Continuous.   Some students said that they had already studied the sheet I gave them in their Trinity class. But that was no problem, because it takes a lot of practice to master the Present Continuous. And we did it a little differently anyway. When we did the listening, for instance we practiced the question:

Who is Mike talking to?

Students had to listen carefully and answer:

Mike is talking to Bob.

We also practiced the questions:

What's he/she doing?

and 

Is she going to work?

For this last questions students could answer:
Yes, she is.
or 
No, she isn't. She is cooking dinner.

Later, students had to compare a picture they were given with their partner's picture, which was similar but different. For that, they had to ask each other questions.

We ended the lesson playing a  board game. students need to make a sentence either in the Present Simple or the Present Continuous. For instance, if they land on a box with the words play baseball this week, they have to make a sentence in the Present Concinuous: I am playing baseball this week, because of the words this week. But if the words on the box are get up early every day, then the sentence must be in the Present Simple, because that's the tense we use to talk about things we do everyday: my father gets up early everyday.
