APLE HOMEWORK FOR CHRISTMAS. 5 AND 6/10. Deadline January 9th 2016

Dear students,
Here's your homework for Christmas. You have about 3 weeks to work on it, but try not to leave everything for the last moment as usual.

Homework 5. I think all of you were in the class the other way when we started watching the video. In fact we just watched one or two minutes. We will continue watching it in 2016, but in more than one and no more than three minutes, I want you to make up (invent) a story after that beginning and tell me  how you think the story ends.
Remember this is an ORAL activity, you must send me an audio file


.

Homework 6

New Year's Resolutions. This homework has two parts.
Part 1. You must watch this small video about New Year Resolution and do the seven questions below. When you finish, print your screen with your result.



Part 2. You must record your voice telling me your New Year Resolutions and how you plan to put them in practice. You must talk between one and three minutes.

The last part is just for some of you.

If you haven't worked during the first term, January 1st is a good time to take the resolution to start working and doing your homework.


If you can...

Try to listen to at least 30 minutes of English every day. You can watch videos, films, series, student news, listen to music, watch TV, etc., but try to listen to as much as you can.

APLE HOMEWORK 4/10. Deadline Saturday December 19th

Interview with Eva Longoria (Gabriele Solis in Desperate Housewives) at the Jimmy Fallon show.

Hello students,
Since I think you really enjoy the TV series we are watching, I thought it might be a good idea for you to watch a recent interview to Eva Longoria.
You have to watch the video and then answer the 10 questions about it ORALLY. You can watch the interview as many times as you want. It only lasts 10 minutes.



1.- Why is Eva on Jimmy Fallon's show?
2.- Where does Eva come from?
3.- What did Eva's grandma give her as a present when she was younger?
4.- What does Eva's family eat at Christmas?
5.- What are the three fixed moments in a telenovela?
6.- What is the meaning of "feud"?
7.- What does each one of them reply to the question about the one word greeting?
8.- According to Eva, what is the most annoying Christmas song? Do you agree?
9.- When is Telenovela released (day, time and channel)?
10.- Which program is on NBC before Telenovela?
