Thursday 12th July

We started the lesson revising the topics to be asked when interviewing a new flatmate. Thus, we could also review how to make questions in English.
The students paid attention to a slide projected on the board with some incomplete questions. They needed to listen and complete them and then, identified different types of questions:
-indirect questions
-subject questions
-with prepositions
to consolidate this grammar point, the students had to make questions using the prompts.

We continued the class studying the vocabulary related to personality.
They first read the descriptions from a flatmate finder site, discussed who they'd like to live with, and then, matched some phrases in bold from those texts with their definitions. Finally, we read some descriptions and matched them with some personlaity adjectives.

After that, we did a role-play activity. Half the class were looking for a room and the other half had a spare room to share. The activity consisted of interviewing each other to find the perfect lodger. Here's an example of a possible dialogue:




We finished the class watching a video about flatsharing (go to videos section) and answering some comprehension.
