We started off with a short review of the week. We then continued with our book, unit 13. After we finished the unit, we worked on a handout about cars and transport to help compile a wordweb or theme list about transport.
Next week I'll have a vocabulary list for unit 13. We'll finish the exercises about Cars And Transport and have a look at the text I handed out called New York City Cab Driver.

Last week we talked about visiting a doctor and the hospital. Make a wordweb to make talking about this easier. Here's a video to help you get started:
Today's session once again started off with talking in the past tense. What is good about living in a city? Why would you prefer living in a town? We also discussed two news articles from last week.
We then did the grammar game Up, Down, Left, Right which we did before with two members of the group. Can you listen and follow instructions? Can you draw?
We ended with working in our book, unit 13.

Welcome back to everyone! What happened? What did you do? We exchanged news from the last two weeks.
Today is Remembrance Day in Britain. We read a text about war and remembrance and poppies. You can listen to that text here. If you have difficulties with the link, you can go to the site and listen to it there.
We then finally started unit 13 on City Life.

Due to illness and holidays there were only two members of our conversation group present this week. We first checked the puzzle on page 117 before we exchanged stories in the past tense with the use of past time expressions. We then played a memory game with English words and matching images. The session finished with the three of us making English sentences with 'flash cards'. Next week we'll start unit 13.

The first session of the new season. We are down to a small group of seven in all and we have moved to a different venue for our weekly get-togethers.
I handed out the printed versions of the vocabulary list for unit 12 and we practised the pronunciation of the English words. It's important to know which part of a word has the stress. The wrts extra programme has the pronunciation too. Just try it if you haven't done so before.
We did the two first exercises of the self study section together. It deals with the past tense. The puzzle is set as homework for next week. We then used the past tense to talk about our summer, which had some sad events and some happy ones.
Next week we will start unit 13 on City Life.
