Class summary for November 12th

Hi!

We started the class by doing a photocopied worksheet (I´m sorry, but I couldn´t to [HORROR DE MIS HORRORES!!!]  scan):

The photocopy was about "Writing. Giving advice".

-[The] first we worked in groups, we discussed some questions about the capital and the teacher asked us about it. 

-[The] second, we learnt the grammar: "Advice and recommendations"

- Some ways to give advice or of answering the question. "What would you recommende seeing there?

For example:

I´d go to Montmartre (if were you).

You should take a boat trip down the river.

You´re best staying in an área called Vosstaniya. (Se traduce como: te conviene, compensa o te tiene cuenta)

You´re better off taking the train. (= it´s preferable)

You could take a tour round the mountains (if you wanted).

-Other structures above with an if-clause+present tense- or another expression that refers to a general topic.

If you want to relax, you should take a boat trip down the river.

In terms of accommodation, you´re best staying in an area called Vostanniya. (Se traduce como: respecto al alojamiento...)

+In The third part we read and separted in paragraphs one text (an email).

Some vocabulary for describing places:

a tourist trap: sitio para turistas                             the suburbs: barrio residencial

a rough area: area "chunga"                                    a high-rise building: torres, racacielos

a posh area: area "pija"                                            a street market: calle comercial

a lively area: zona con ambiente                           an up-and -coming area: zona en auge de moda

Key words for writing: otherwise, other than, apart from.

- We use otherwise to show that something bad will occur if you don´t do the thing you just mentioned. Se traduce como: .....de lo contrario./ si no...../ porque si no.

- You can also use otherwise or other than / apart from that to mean in addition (to that)/not including things you just mentioned. Se traduce como: además.

- You can use apart from and other than to join two parts of a sentence, but you can´t use otherwise. Se usa para añadir cosas.

-Workhome +homework:

We´ll revise the exercise of the photocopy about +how to use otherwise , other than and apart from. We´ll quickly correct it in class.

This is all. Tomorrow we´ll see +each other in class.
