APLE COMPUTER ROOM LESSON FEBRUARY 27TH

- Just in case you didn't do it at home during the weekend, it may be a good chance to register in edu.glogster.com so that you can do your final task this month, a glog. Remember you must click on "Sign up" and then choose "Single Free". Then, choose student and don't forget to include my teacher code. Now that you are registered, spend 10 minutes looking around the page.

- Phonetics: Some weeks ago, you did some practice on phonetics with /i/ and /i:/. Today it is the time of  unit 2, which is about /u/ and /u:/. You can do it here.

- You haven't visited esl-lab for a long time, so I think it is the time for you to practise with at least three listenings (medium or hard depending on how good your English is). Tell me your score when you finished them.

If you have worked fast and hard and have five or ten minutes at the end, it could be a good time to hear some jokes. Tell me if you understand them, because sometimes British Humour is hard to get.

Desperate housewives vocabulary for exam

Dear students,
Here you have the list with the vocabulary you have to study for the exam, together with the vocabulary from the book (units 1-6).

As you can see I have reduced the number of words a great deal.
For your information, this exam is on Wednesday March 14th and will be oral. You will be asked 5 questions from the book and 5 from Desperate.

APLE HOMEWORK 10/10. Deadline March 9th.

Your last piece of homework this term is harder and longer than usual, that is the reason why you have two weeks to do it instead of the usual one. If you want my advice, especially this time, DO NOT LEAVE IT FOR THE VERY LAST DAY, since this time it takes time and you may encounter lots of technical problems.
You are going to make a glog. A glog is a kind of interactive poster or project. Next week you have to tell me what you plan to do your glog about and I will tell you if that is OK so that you can start working on it. Your glog must have:
- A title
- Text
- Images
- Your own recorded audio or video
You can also include:
- A video (from YouTube or your own recorded video)
- Some background music related to the topic.
To create the glog, you must first register as a student in edu.glogster.com. You will be asked to provide an email address, a password and your teacher code, which is 1E7923.
Have a look at blogs from other people. You will get great ideas for yours.
If you have problems doing it, just let me know.
Good luck
Javier

Hello students,

A few days ago, we were watching "The Help". I think most of you like it. Since next week we have the Oscard Awards Ceremony and Viola Davis is nominated for her role in this film, I thought it would be a good idea for you to watch this interview on the David Letterman Show. David Letterman is very similar to Spanish Andreu Buenafuente.

I suggest you should watch the entire video, but if you have a limited amount of free time, the interview runs from 19:00 to 29:00.
Once you watch the interview, you must answer ORALLY these ten questions about it. Once you have recorded them, send them to me to my usual email address.

1.- Is the first Oscar nomination for Viola Davis?
2.- What does Viola Davis say about Meryl Streep?
3.- Where did Viola Davis spend her honeymoon?
4.- How did Viola and her husband know that the food was ready?
5.- What did they do since George Clooney wasn't in?
6.- What was the agreement between George Clooney and Viola Davis is they were both nominated?
7.- Why do you have to put a pad on if you jump off a plane?
8.- What is her daughter's name? How old is she and how long has she had her?
9.- What happened to Viola Davis and the dairy section of the supermarket?
10.- How much weight did Viola Davis have to gain for her role in the film?
