leverageedu

- We told a classmate about our hobbies with the notes we had prepared.
- We got familiar with structures and vocabulary to ask questions and describe hobbies, picked a few we wanted to adopt and  told an improved version of the same presentation to another classmate.
- We then revised ways to show interest when engaged in a conversation and tried to use some when doing a learner's interview.
- We revised the English sound system with phonetic symbols.
- We saw a video of a student of English and the strategies he uses. We compared to our own ones.

Homework:
- You are going to record yourselves giving a short presentation on Learning a language.
- Make it about three or four minutes long and try to give it a shape, so you should prepare what you want to say beforehand.
- Prepare an introduction, the different parts/ideas/points you want to make and finish it up with a conclusion.
- Even though you are preparing in advance, don't write down everything and read out; instead, write notes and produce your speech at the moment of the recording.
- You can use your mobile phone recorder and send the file to me attached to an email, you can also use Miguel Ángel's suggested app (I've forgotten its name now, so sorry) or Vocaroo, an online voice recorder. Here you have a video I made to explain how to use it.
- Next day we'll be revising verb tenses, you can revise a little bit if you want by trying some of these exercises.
