Week 30: April 29th, 2020- Vocabulary, Obama, humour and music


- Another day in a hellish technical failure but, well, we warmed up by talking about space austerity and how it may affect us, from the file in the last entry.
- We then had a look and revised adjectives to describe attitude and practised the pronunciation of spelling "th". It's in today's handout.
- We then saw a video in which Barack Obama, back in 2014, explained the need to organise the fight against future pandemics, a visionary. We revised some vocabulary and structures from it.
- We also had a look at some, pretty bad, jokes in English that played with double meanings and pronunciation.
    - The previous exercise reminded me of a Mark Knopfler song in which a knight sang a song for his lady, how he met her, fought for her and finally got her. A Night in Summer Long Ago. It's such a beautiful song. I wanted to have talked about it a bit more but it really was impossible. I hope you can enjoy it some other time.

Homework:
- I have seen this link on the positive side of the coronavirus outbreak, it would be great if you could read some part of it and tell us about what you've read.
- I'm also enclosing another reading just in case you want to do it, it's on fitness. Here you have the key for the exercises.
