Hello guys!

Yesterday, we continued +with/on -the Unit 1 +[of the] Student´s Book about Friendships. We did exercises 2a-b-c, 3 and 4 on page 10 and exercise 1a-b on page 11 to learn new vocabulary about relationships and the use of auxiliary verbs to express  for example surprise or emphasis. Some exercises are "listening" +exercises, and you can read these conversations on page 167.
[you should have all the audios  in the CD that comes with the book. That's actually the one I use in class]

In these exercises, new vocabulary has appeared:

- To manage /ˈmæn.ɪdʒ/ : to succeed in doing something, especially something difficult.

-To disclose /dɪˈskləʊz/ : to make something known publicly, or to show something that was hidden.

-To talk sb out of sth  /tɑːk/  : to persuade someone not to do something.

-To let down /let/ : to disappoint someone by failing to do what you agreed to do or were expected to do.

-To cheat on /tʃiːt/ : If you cheat on your husband, wife, or usual sexual partner, you secretly have a sexual relationship with someone else.


Besides, the teacher has reminded us +of the confusion -of +[over/with the] word "Sympathethic"

- Sympathetic  /ˌsɪm.pəˈθet.ɪk/ : describes someone who shows, especially by what they say, that they understand and care about someone's suffering.

Learning it is important and he recommends -us to memorize some examples. [Careful this verb is not used like in Spanish, the pattern changes:

Finally, we have to do +some homework, the exercises Practice1 on pages 131 and Practice2 on page 132.

 See you on
Thursday!
