Week 7: October 23rd, 2019- Giving and receiving compliments. Intonation that conveys meaning

- We shared with the rest the questions you had written (or thought out) to check the comprehension of the video on Bhutan.
- We saw the excerpt of the video and answered our classmates' questions. (minutes 3'50 to 7'45)
- I gave you a photocopy with some verb tense revision for practice.
- We listened to four conversations in which we saw how to compliment and respond to compliments. We practised those structures with a gapped text and with our classmates.
- We saw the different intonations to convey some meanings: interest, amazement, boredom, anger... and we practised them.
- We got into a Halloween mood with the video The Replacement ;-))

Halloween homework:
- Have a look at the verb tense revision handout.
- I gave you a paper card with something to read about, take notes and be prepared to speak at the beginning of next day's class. If you didn't attend, pick one of these: Halloween food, Halloween monsters, Halloween decorations or Halloween movies.
- I've also posted some haunting photos on this virtual wall.  Next day I'll give a prize to the best recorded production: choose one of the photos and record a story about it. You can post it next to the photo together with your name. You can record it with Vocaroo or any other webpage. Here you have some instructions to do it, it's very easy, you just have to go and record! Then you copy the link and paste it on the virtual wall. Happy weekend!
