Week 29: April 22nd, 2020- Marmite, requests, fixing things and a poem!

Telegraph.co.uk

- We warmed up by talking about the topic of the reading/vocabulary handout I had given you on Marmite. We also mentioned the videos you had in the last entry.
- We practised the structures for requests we had reviewed the last day in this handout. We practised roleplays with this other handout.
- We then dis the error spot exercise on the second page of the above file.
- We celebrated Earth Day with a News Review from the BBC site, Can fixing things reduce climate change?
We revised these expressions and did a vocabulary exercise.
- We also wanted to mark Book Day, celebrated on 23 April and saw the structure of a well-known poem by Dylan Thomas in the form of a villanelle. This is the poem and here you have Dylan Thomas himself reading it. This poem may ring a bell to some of you because it appears in the film Interstellar, which I love so much, very poetic.

Homework:
- If you want to record a little something for me, I'd like it to be about the Marmite file I gave you, exercise 5 gives you some questions to organise and send me a short presentation about all of them. Take some time to organise it with linkers and everything.
- As you told me you had liked the file, here you have another one, full of vocabulary too, on space austerity.
