First class

We started this intensive summer course introducing each other in a different way.

The students had to write at least 5 names of people or places and figures connected to them,their classmates had to guess why these data were so important for each person.
We continued the session talking about friends and relationships. To introduced the topic the students analysed one slide projected on the board and they explained the way those beings were connected.
After that, we explained some common sayings about relationships:

Blood is thicker than water
A friend in need is a friend indeed

Like father like son
No man is an island

     

 Immediately after,we saw the rest of the slides and found the proper expression to describe them.

Then, we work on the photo of an orangutan and a dog and listen to a radio programme taking about them. The students had to answer some comprehension questions and complete the gaps in some sentences.
As a vocabulary reinforcement, we studied some expressions to describe relationships and some phrasal verbs to describe actions and we put them into practice in an oral activity where the students had to write the names of 3 friends of theirs and describe them to their classmates using the expressions learnt.


To finish the class, we read an article about a new way of meeting friends: Renting a friend.
For next day, they had to answer the comprehension questions whcich will be corrected in class.
