How was you holiday? Have you experienced anything this week you would like to share with the others in our group? Who watched the video on 2 liter bottle recycling? If so, what was your favourite tip out of the eight mentioned?
After the usual introductory chat we read a text on how to reduce your global footprint in your own garden. This text, and other information on global warming and what you can do to help, can be found at this website by WWF. Again, have a look round by clicking on links. So what do you do to save the environment?
All this talk about the environment finished unit 11. We looked at the self study section on pp. 114-115. The vocabulary list for unit 11 can be found here. Download it to your own account at wrts, if necessary add to it and start practising!

Tell us something about the past week or the future. Once again we began our session by talking about ourselves. What did you do on the first day of spring? What will you be doing this weekend or your next hoilday?
After this we continued with our book Let's Talk 2, unit 11b called Protecting our environment.We also had a closer look at the text and vocabulary quiz on the subject I handed out last week. I then gave everyone a new text about recycling paper and glass. It is from this website on recycling by the Guides Network. Have a look round by clicking on links. The text of the handout I gave you can be found here by clicking on the speech balloons.
Next week I will have a vocabulary list for unit 11 but make sure you create and keep working on your own wordweb.
As an extra, here is a video with eight great ideas to recycle a 2 litre water bottle.

This week's session we continued practising using the future tense. What are you doing tomorrow, this weekend, next week, this summer?
We then returned to our book, unit 11a on animals. For fun, you can train your knowledge of animal vocabulary with this video on YouTube. Look, listen and repeat:
To introduce unit 11b on the environment I gave you a handout with useful words to talk about this subject. You can also find the vocabulary, the text and the quiz here

"What are you doing this weekend?". After practising the past tense and asking each other questions, we will focus on the future tense for a few weeks. We are going to talk about the future. Today's session began with describing plans for next weekend.
We then had a look at the self study section you had all prepared at home. The grammar exercise about 'should' and 'have to' proved to have been a bit difficult but it all worked out nicely.
We started unit 11 on the environment by talking about animals.

Again we started today's session with asking one another questions. We talked about the difference between the questions 'Did you vote?' and 'Have you voted?'. We also got to talk about the differences between men and women.
I handed out the vocabulary list for unit 10. You can also find the list here and upload it to your own wrts account to practice. We finished the unit on gadgets and inventions. Please continue work on your wordwebs.
Homework for next week is the self study section on pp. 112 (part A and B) and 113. The grammar on page 112 deals with modal verbs of necessity (have to) and suggestion (should).
