universal extras

- We warmed up with prompt cards to speak about different moments in the past.

Homework:
- Have a look at the other side of the handout of today's listening and do the two exercises on adverbs.
- Pick up a work of art you like and be prepared to talk a little bit about it, about its author, its location, the reasons why you like it. It can be anything, a picture, but also a song, a photo, a book...

Remeber we have a number of activities around Christmas time, one of which is the design of a Christmas card. Here you have how to enter the competition.

Homework:
- I gave you some ideas to prepare a review of a film. This is the handout. The last part is the organisation your review should have. You can either record it in 3/4 minutes and send it to me or write it on the library's virtual wall, so that I can give you feedback in both cases.
