TÚ A LONDRES Y YO A EDIMBURGO: PLANNING OUR END OF COURSE TRIP

The idea of going on an end-of-course trip sounds great... now we only need to reach an agreement on what destination is the best... who is more convincing? Laura or Victoria? Watch the video and judge for yourselves!!

... AND THE WINNERS ARE...

There are moments in class when learning  is both enjoyable and challenging at the same time. Playing Kahoot! is always so; and winning is even more exciting. I hope this has helped our WonderWoman Team (Thalía, Olalla, Victoria and Porfi) learn the difference between -ing and -ed adjectives, because an amazing class always makes amazed students!!

FAST AND FURIOUS 7

I think that Bea and Porfi did a great job with their presentation in today´s class, don´t you agree?. Organized, well-prepared and very motivating. I would like to congratulate them on their hard work.

They talked about the Fast and Furious saga and told us about how much they love it. You will understand why when you see the video below.

FIND THE DIFFERENCE: JOB ADS

Today´s class was about finding differences between very similar job ads. They looked almos exactly the same but they weren´t!!

We trained our brains trying to memorize information in the different job ads on the walls to work out the differences in pairs. 

The video above shows the activity as we were doing it and the images can help you learn some more work vocabulary. 

Can you make a list of all the words related to work in the images?
