The question "How was your week?" was again the kick-off for this week's session. We then finished unit 9 by discussing tourist attractions in The Netherlands. We also had a look at the self study section and I handed out the vocabulary list. You can also find that list here if you want to upload it to wrts to practice. Do not forget to make or add to your word web on holidays.
We ended the session by reading and discussing 'Kiwi Adventure', the text I handed out two weeks ago.

"How was your week?" Again we began the session with talking about last week using the past tenses. After that we discussed when to use the 'gerund' and when to use the full verb in sentences. If you want to read more about this subject ask and I will give you a handout from this site.
We had a look at the 'Connecting Flights' cartoon and used it to add to our wordwebs on holidays. Keep working on your themed wordwebs! Remember that wordwebs are always personal. We cannot create a group web.
Next we continued with unit 9b and talked some more about holidays and travel.

Like last week we started the session off with the question: "How was your week?". Several people told us about something that happened to them and they answered questions from the group. Next week it will be someone else's turn to talk about their week so be prepared!
Next we finished unit 9a by talking about your perfect vacation and I handed out a cartoon with hidden pictures on 'Connecting Flights'. Please complete for next week.
We then had a closer look at last week's (listening) text about Denise Lester who is holidaying in Marbella, Spain.
Finally I asked you to listen to, or read, tips on what to see when visiting New Zealand. You can listen here New Zealand tips but I also gave you the printed text with a little quiz. I would prefer it if you listened without reading along. Restart the audio clip as many times as you like. If you have not got the right audio player on your PC, go to this web page and get it straight from the source. Click on the little loudspeaker icon but, again, hide the text.

We had another look at the wordweb for 'transportation' by playing a few rounds of the Word Associations game. We then started unit 9a on holidays. We talked about and listened to people talking about holidays while we created a wordweb on the subject.
I handed out a text from the BBC's Learning English site about a lawyer from London at her favourite holiday spot in Marbella, Spain. The best way to work with this text is by listening to it here and do the accompanying excercises online too. If, for some reason, that proves to be impossible, you can just work through the handout with the printed text. We will look at it next week.
