Hi classmates!

Last Thursday we continued advancing over chapter 1 of the Student´s book.

Firstly, we corrected the [1] excercise 2 on page 11 about the uses of auxiliary verbs in -its +their different ways to -emphatise +emphasize, in questions and question -tag +tags, and then both the [1] -practise +practice 1 and 2 on pages 131 and 132, in reviewing of the main points we had dealt with.

Atfer that, and working in pairs, we kept a quick conversation about a daily situation to practice the learned uses of auxiliary verbs, making each other some questions and then answering them.

Go on...

Then the teacher showed us how +to [2] pronounce some words written with four syllables, but -[that they] +which are pronounced with less syllables, for example:

• secretary: [ˈsekrətrɪ]
• interesting: [ˈɪntrɪstɪŋ]
• cemetery: [ˈsemɪtrɪ]

In addition we saw the different meaning between the following verbs:

• decide: [dɪˈsaɪd], to choose sth, especially after thinking carefully about several possibilities, for example: In the end, we decided to go to the theatre.
• determined: /dɪˈt3ːmɪnd/, wanting to do sth very much and not allowing anyone or any difficulties to stop you, for example: I´m determined to get this piece of work finished today.

Finally, we extracted +some vocabulary about Siblings, like -this +these:

• hand-me-down = a piece of clothing given to a younger family member or friend because the person who owns it no longer wants it.
• oldest/middle/youngest sibling.
• stepbrother = not your parent´s son, but the son of a person that one of your parents has married.
• half-brother = a brother who is the son of only one of your parents.
• twin = either of two children born to the some mother on the same occasion.
• Identical twin = one of two babies of the same sex who were born at the same time, developed from the same eggs, and look the same.

That was all what I learned or at least that I can remember.

Regards,
