Hi students,
This is your homework for this week
Say your opinions and your first feelings about the new series we started watching yesterday (Desperate Housewives). Say why you think Mary Alice killed herself. For this activity, you will have to use your brand new microphone and subscribe in voicethread. Don't forget to say who you are. You have to click on comment, then on record, write your real name, give an email address and a password (write it down on a paper or in your mobile phone in order not to forget it), then allow your computer to access and then start recording your voice. When you finish, just press on stop recording. You don't need to talk more than 2 or 3 minutes. If you like what you have said, save the comment, otherwise, start again until you are happy with the result. Good luck. I hope you don't have too many technical problems.

APLE COMPUTER LESSON September 25th
Hello Students,
I hope you enjoy your first lesson this year in the computer room. The Internet connection is not very good, so please, be patient. At home you can do things much faster, so if you can't finish or do an activity here, you can try to do it at home.
20 minutes: go to this page and listen to: answering machine (easy) , A student credit card (medium) and Adsense: making money (difficult). You should at least do the "II Listening Exercises". You can also try to do the "III Vocabulary activities", but this is optional. When you finish, write a comment in this post mentioning your name and your final score in each of the listenings. You can also talk to me and tell me how you do.
25 minutes: in the second part of the class we are going to watch another speech. Now that iphone 5 is almost here, this time it is from Steve Jobs at Stanford University. While watching the video, try to answer the following questions about it. Do not worry if you don't understand every single word. Try to make the most of it.
Here are a few questions you should try to answer while watching the video. You can write them dowm on a piece of paper or just open a Word document and write down the answers in there.
1.- In which college did Steve Jobs graduated?
2.- What is the first story about?
3.- How long was S.J. at Reed College?
4.- What do we know about Steve Jobs's biological mother?

APLE HOMEWORK 1/10. Deadline Friday September 28th.
Dear students,
First of all, have a look at the blog and don't forget to bookmark it so you can find it easier next time you come to visit.
Your task for this weekend/week is quite simple. You have to spend AT LEAST ONE HOUR AND A HALF practising your oral English. Then, you have to make a recording saying what you have done and how (if you have watched a film, mention the film, if you liked it, if you watched it with subtitles or not, when you watched it, etc). If you listened to music, say what songs you listened to and if you could understand the lyrics. If you watched a TV series, say which one it was and if you usually follow it, etc.
You can record your voice with Audacity, you can use the Grabadora de Sonido de Windows (inicio-programas-accesorios-grabadora de sonidos) or just use the SEND VOICEMAIL tab on the right hand side of our blog. Don't forget to say who you are in your recording and to write your email address and who you are when you send it. Remember that my address is javiprofeingles@hotmail.com (in case you use Audacity or Grabadora de Sonido de Windows). If you use SEND VOICEMAIL, it will get to this address automatically.
Enjoy your weekend and try to practise your oral English at least 15 minutes every day.
If you cannot record your voice because you still haven't got a microphone or don't know how to use it, talk to me on Monday. Remember, DO NOT leave everything for the very last minute.
Good luck.
