Please, do exercise 3 on this worksheet for Wednesday's homework.

We finished the unit by revising your body parts and listening to a conversation between a doctor and her patients. You can do the exercises that we did in class again by clicking here and here. Finally, we completed a table which described seven common reasons for going to the doctor and roleplayed a doctor-patient conversation.

Hi, there!

It's been a really busy week, with lots of things to do, and I find it difficult to keep the blog updated, so please, be patient with me! :) Last Monday we started unit 10 by reading a shocking article about Americans' attitude towards their pets. Then we learnt how to use the present perfect with for and since. On Wednesday we basically corrected homework and talked about stressful experiences. Finally, we learnt how to use present perfect for unfinished time.

Extra grammar:
Present perfect+for and since (1)
Present perfect+for and since (2)
Present perfect or past simple (1)
Present perfect or past simple (2)

Extra vocabulary:
Animals
Collocations with get

This is the listening exercise we did in class:


Stress (multiple choice) (see key and transcript)

Extra listening:
What is your favorite animal? (multiple choice)
Are holidays stressful for you? (multiple choice video)

Please, do exercise 1 of the vocabulary section on p 99, exercise 3 and 4 of the speaking and vocabulary section on p 100 and exercise 2 of the grammar section on p 101 for homework.
