Hi classmates
We started the class by learning +expression +expressions people usually say in any given social situation such as....

Offering  ( would you like...)
Suggestion  ( what if i..., may i suggest, ...)
Uncertainty  ( not to my knowledge, as far as i know...)
Not knowing  (dunno , search me, it beats me...)

Shortly after a terrible Word shook the class, "Monolog" ( Run for your lives!!), then we checked some useful expressions for starting up, providing structure, giving personal opinion, introducing example, advancing the topic  or also interrupting a conversation

I’ll be discussing...

I will be focussing on these points:

In my book

For example / for instance

Well, if I might tell a little anecdote...

To put it in a nutshell

Well, I think we really should move on to the next point

If I may,...

Later we did the listening -[of the] +on page 52 and finally we planned a fantasy dinner party where we invited several celebrities  +such as Jesús Calleja, Cristobal Colon, Enrique VIII, +and even Jasmine ( -the Aladdin's wife)

That's all, see you !!

Hi everybody,

     I,m going to talk you about the summary of tuesday, 25th of March.

•     At the beginning of the class, we corrected +the exercises on page 144  practice 2 about complex question forms

   Compound questions

After which or what, you can use a noun to form questions.

                 which restaurant did you go to?

                What information do you need?

 After how you can use an adjective or adverb to form questions.

          How trustworthy do you think he is?

                How quickly can you get there?

    Question which prepositions

   Some verb and adjectives take prepositions.  The prepositions comes after the verb or adjectives

                         Who do you rely on

                      What were you talking about.

      Statements and negative questions

     Statements with a rising intonations often function as questions

   They are often used to express surprise at what someone has just said or to check information.

                               I bought three pair of shoes

                         You bought three pair of shoes?

Negative questions also express surprise, an opinion or check that information is correct.

     Direct questions

Indirect questions are often more polite or more formal than normal questions.

Our teacher has sent us the link below which contains important examples of everyday life expressions.

This can help us prepare for our oral communication skills exam.

        http://mrmoiseseoi-intermediate.blogspot.com.es/2014/03/preparatory-it.html   

               [The link you mean is this one: http://mrmoiseseoi-intermediate.blogspot.com.es/2014/03/pragmatics-real-life-interaction.html ]                   

•Finally we practiced our listening +by doing an exercise on page 52 about -plant +planning a fantasy dinner party

That`s all friends

Marjorie

Pragmatics -- Real life interaction

Learning the kind of expressions people usually say in any given social situation so that you sound natural and fluent is certainly not an easy task.

However, we cannot be happy with using just one way of giving suggestions, offerings, refusals, agreement and the like. Having a certain variety of expression really makes a difference when you face the interaction part of your oral exam. I link next some resources you should explore.

You'll find the Life skills series by McMillan to be very useful; keep an eye out for their new posts:

Offerings

Suggestions

Uncertainty

Not knowing

And here you'll find some more:

Useful expressions for different communicative functions

Useful expressions for your speaking exam

All the "Task" pages in your book do also have some "useful language" boxes which you should get familiar with.

Feel free to post comments with any other resources you think could be useful! Maybe we can develop these notes into a full repository :)

To: "eoi-english-2013-ni2c@googlegroups.com" <eoi-english-2013-ni2c@googlegroups.com>

Hi everyone!

Here´s  the summary for last Monday:

The teacher started the class by summarizing  the uses of Future Forms to speak about plans, decisions in the future and predictions:

1.  will ( decisions made at the moment of speaking: "sobre la marcha": "-by +on the fly)
2. going to ( present intentions)
3. present continuous (arrangements)
4. present simple ( the action in the future is part of a regular timetable, or has been -officialy +officially fixed)
5. future continuous (without any particular plan or intention but as part of the normal course of events)

(I recommend -[you to review] +[reviewing / that you review] the text STUDY AND PRACTICE on page 143 if you want to have more detail information about that) .

After that  we continued by correcting the -exercice +exercise PRACTICE 1 of the same page and completed the conversations (PRACTICE 1  on page 47) by using correct future forms of the verbs in brackets.

Later we turned to page 127( Practice, exercice 2a, page 47) and -choosed +chose three of the topics, we had to prepare +a 30-second talk on each and worked in pairs to talk about our topics.

We  continued with the class by reading and speaking, on page 48 we worked in groups and discussed the questions of exercice 1 and read the introduction to the article in order to predict what the writer will say about these questions.

 Throughout the article we could learn some new words of vocabulary relative to communication media. Many expressions such as:

• My laptop are within constant touching distance
• drip-drip of information (goteo de información)
• are wired up (estar conectado)
• to scroll though something (enrollarse ..) [no realmente, es ir abajo o arriba al leer una página web]
• can go cold turkey ( "poder cortar por lo sano")

For homework : exercice 4 on page 48.

Margin Note:

On this day  +[ST. Patrick.] -it was celebrated -[ST. Patrick]. That is a cultural and religious holiday celebrated -anually +annually on 17 March, the death date of the most commonly recognised patron saint of Ireland. It is -also widely celebrated around the world -too; especially in Britain, Canada, The United States, Argentina, Australia and New  Zealand..

That´s all. See you

Merche

( I m sorry to have sent the summary so late´)

Hello everybody,

At the beginning of the class, we answered the following questions in pairs and after that we shared our point of view:

1) How important are your phone, social networking sites or other forms of online communication in your interaction with other people?
2) In what ways do you use them?
3) Have these things improved your social life?
These questions -was +were/are -in +on page 48 (exercise 1)

Then we read the proposed text -about on the relationship of -the society with new technologies. The boy who talked was hooked on -your +his mobile phone, and he felt so isolated although he had a good girlfriend and a lot of long-standing mates.

here we can stop -us to learn the meaning of several words:

long-standing mates: compañeros de siempre
hooked: enganchado. "Are you hooked on your phone? = ¿Estás enganchado (colgado) a tu móvil?"
Isolated: aislado
Gig: concierto
Wrap: envolver
Throughout the day: "A lo largo del día"
Drip / Drop: Goteo / Gota - Gotear
Out-standing debts: deudas pendientes. Out-standing: no acabado, pendiente
Long -standing: acompaña en el tiempo

-[Class also made reference] +[Some reference was also made in class] to several colloquial (and curious) expressions +SUCH as:
"Go cold turkey": no poder dejar algo (drogas) / hacer algo de golpe
I searched sentences with this phrase and I found these examples:

- Some people experience headaches or drowsiness if they go "cold turkey" from their caffeine intake.
vnacarenewengland.org

 Algunas personas experimentan dolores de cabeza o somnolencia si se abstienen de su consumo de cafeína.
--> vnacarenewengland.org

- Of course, people didn`t go cold turkeyon politics right after Election Day.
puertorico-herald.org
Por supuesto, la gente no se desapasiona por la política justo después de las elecciones.
--> puertorico-herald.org

- The key to preparing healthy soul food recipes is not to go cold turkey all at once.
holynameofjesus-la.org
La llave para preparar su comida favorita saludablemente es no cambiar la receta.
--> holynameofjesus-la.org

Go "cold turkey".
Hágalo de golpe.
--> nyhealth.gov

- Trying to go cold turkey may be too difficult.
Si uno intenta cambiar todo de a una vez, se sentirá privado.
--> worldpicts.com

- However, with the resources and number of medications that are available today, going "cold turkey" isn't necessary.
Sin embargo, con los recursos y cantidad de medicamentos que se encuentran disponibles actualmente, "parar en seco" no es necesario.
--> thepatientchannel.com

To continue  we did all the exercises of the page and returned to reflect on the data presented in the yellow box.

Finally we did another listening test exam.

That is all for now. See you this afternoon.
Marta.

Hi Guys!

Here´s the summary for March 19th.

 We started the class by correcting exercise 4 on page 48.  We found some new vocabulary in the text on pages 48 and 49.

• WITHIN - (prep)  En el plazo de, dentro de.  
•   She will return within an hour / There is some disagreement within the medical profession.
• WITHIN REACH - Al alcance.  
•  He could sense that his goal was within reach.
• DRIP - Goteo.     DRIP-DRIP- Goteo continuo.  
•  I have a constant drip-drip of information for my friends.
  
• LONG-STANDING - (Adj) De hace mucho tiempo. 
•  A long-standing agreement.
• OUTSTANDING - (Adj)  Destacado, excepcional. 
•   An outstanding novel.
  
• STAND UP - Destacar.  
• She really stands out in a crowd.
• FAR FROM  -ing - Lejos de ... 
•  Far from being embarrased, he enjoyed himself.
  
• TO PRISE - Separar, quitar algo haciendo presión/palanca.  
•  She prised off the lid with a coin.
• IDLE  sth AWAY -  Pasar el tiempo haciendo "poca cosa".  
•  She idled away the hours playing cards.
• BASK IN sth - Disfrutar de algo. 
•  I will bask in the sunshine on my summer holydays.
• THUMBING -  Poner   en las diferentes redes sociales.  
• I´ll still be sitting on my bed thumbing online.

 Then we continued by doing exercises 1, 2 and 3 on page 49. They were about colloquial language and we found new vocabulary too.

•  MATES -  Friends (UK)    =    DUDE, BUDDY (US)  (We can form different words with this word such as housemate, playmate, classmate, flatmate, workmate)
•  TA  -  Thanks   (This expression is very +much used by José Luis in his e-mails. I think  I was not alone in discovering its meaning)
•  BOOZE -  Alcoholic drinks.
• A FIVER - A 5 pounds note
• A TENNER - A 10 pounds note

• COLD TURKEY - Dejar de hacer algo de repente, "cortar por lo sano". 
•   I quit smoking cold turkey.
• ALL RIGHT YOU? - ¿Qué tal estás?
• WHAT´S UP? - ¿Qué te pasa?
• TO BE STRESSED OUT -  Estar agobiadísimo
• GRAB A CHAIR - Pilla una silla
• HE´S DOING MY HEAD IN - Me está mareando/ volviendo loco
• WATH´S GOING ON? - ¿Qué pasa?.
• CHILL OUT - Relájate
• HE WAS LIKE ... - Estaba como... 
• I CAN´T HELP IT - No puedo evitarlo
• HELP YOURSELF - Sírvete tú mismo.
• TO TAKE/HAVE SEVERAL HELPINGS - Tomar varias porciones/raciones

 To finish the summary, I will say that we had +a grammar explanation.

                            

               "DUMMY IT"  - They found it difficult to make friends "in real life"

                  

              In this sentence "it" is used to "anticipate" something +wich +which appears later in the sentence.

 Other example:  I think it would be fun to play cards all night.

                STRUCTURE "THE + ADJETIVE"  - The rich are becoming richer, the poor, poorer.

         

              This structure is used with plural nouns, but not all +nouns. It is used when referring to groups of people

 Finally, we ended the class by recalling the different meanings and expressions with "mind"  (They can be found .[on page 39])

 That´s all.

 Remember!  Tomorrow´s class!

  See you.

   Ana

Class summary for Math 18th

Hi classmates!

      We started the class by doing exercises 1,2 and 3a on page 49, using colloquial language. We learned the meaning of colloquial words and phases:

            -All right? = How are you?

            -What’s up? = What are you doing?

            -Stressed up = frustrated

            -He’s doing my head in = “Me está poniendo la cabeza como un bombo”

            -Chill out = Calm down

            -Rip off = “Timo”

            - How come? = “¿De donde viene eso?”

            -He just can’t help himself = “No puede evitarlo”

      After that, We did exercise 1b, 2 and 3 (online dating). Everyone discussed the questions giving several reasons. We had to think up the advantages and disadvantages of online dating websites and we learned how +to know whether a profile is mostly lies.

Some vocabulary we learned about this:

            -To stretch the truth = “estirar la verdad”

            -White lies = “mentiras piadosas”

            -To take with a pinch of salt = “tener cautela, ciertas reservas”

            -To be economical with the truth = “no decir toda la verdad”

      Finally, we worked in groups, and we practiced short conversations in which we had to answer a phase with mind (pag 39)

      See you on next day!

Hi guys!!

We began the class with our book  -[in the] +on page 50. We did -the exercise Nº 3 +in which -[learn to] +[we learned]  several idioms like:

• Fall hopelessly in love with..: No te puedes oponer a ello, no te queda otra.
• Keep an eye out for...: Estar pendiente de…
• Economical with the truth....:No estas diciendo toda la verdad..
• With a pinch of salt...:Con un poco de precaución.
• Little white lies....Pequeñas mentiras piadosas.
• To stretch the truth....: Poner cosas extremas de alguna destreza que tengas, "no lardear"

We read the text about "Blind date" to do +the relevant exercises +about it. We listened to -interviewed +[an interview] between the journalist and Josh. we could answer the question of exercise 2a ( Language focus 2): Josh is kinder with her and Ursula is crueller with him. 

• Kinder (adj): +más amable
• Crueller (adj) +más cruel

Then we -listent +listened to +the interview -againt +again  -though we had to try to write the questions which -asked the journalist -a +asked Josh. 

The correct questions are: 

1. Could you tell me what you were looking for?  ...Could you tell.: It´s a indirect question.
2.  Wasn´t your first impression good? : ¿No fue buena tu primera impresión?... Wasn´t : negative question.
3. Who did she remind you of?: ¿A quién te recuerda?... Remind of: This verb -depend +depends on which preposition -[follow after] +follows. It has different  -meaning +meanings:

·        Remind … about / to: /rɪˈmaɪnd/: Recuerda que...

·        Remind Sb of Sth/Sb: phrasal verb /rɪˈmaɪnd/ Recuerda ….. a

4. What did you talk about?..about: the preposition always write at the end of  question.
5. So, Did you have any awkward moments?
6. How similar are you and Ursula?.... How + adjective/ adverbio 
7. What marks out of them?   What + noun
8. I want to ask if you´d want to meet her again….. I want to ask : It´s a indirect question

The new vocabulary in this text -are +is:

• Outfit ( noun) /ˈaʊt.fɪt/: indumentaria, ropa. (verb) /ˈaʊt.fɪt/ : Proporcionar un uniforme. 
• To land on (Verb) /lænd/: Aterrizar.
• To be motivated by (Verb): Estar motivado por, estar interesado con.
• Lobster ( noun) /ˈlɒb.stər/ US /ˈlɑːb.stɚ/: Langosta.

GRAMMAR, page 51.

A) Compound questions		B) Questions with prepositions		**C) Statements and negative questions		D) Indirect questions
What (open questions)	+ Noun	Verb or adjective takes a preposition, The preposition have to write at the end of question. Don´t have to omit it.		Statements as questions. (Intonation/word stress)	Surprise	Affirmative	Question
Which (close questions)						I wanted to know…	Could you tell me…?
How	+Adjective/Adverb.				*Check information	I wonder…	Do you know…?
						Tell me…	Can you remind me…?
				Negative questions	Surprise
					*Check information

*Check information: rectificar si has entendido la pregunta.

** C) Statements and negative questions are very useful for interaction exam.

Afterwards, the teacher explained the grammar. We did the exercises about grammar, nº 1 a, c, page nº 50. We -write +wrote the questions first in direct style then indirect style. We can see -this +these sentences +in direct style in this link: (Look the slide nº2 , "p. 51")

We listened to +the pronunciation exercise to differentiate between some similar sentences +[if they] are a statement or a question.

The last exercise was to speak in +a small group about the sentences +in exercise nº 2 and practice the questions of surprise.

Vocabulary:

• Carcass ( noun) /ˈkɑː.kəs/ US /ˈkɑːr-/: Cuerpo muerto de animales
• Corpse  (noun) /kɔːps/ US /kɔːrps/: Cuerpo muerto de personas.
• Between ( prep, adverb) /bɪˈtwiːn/: Elegir entre dos o tres.
• Among (prep) /əˈmʌŋ/ : Elegir entre varios.
• Locally –grown produce: Productos de la región, locales, de la tierra.
• Surgery (noun) /ˈsɜː.dʒər.i/ US /ˈsɝː.dʒɚ-/: cirugía.
• To happen (verb): es un verbo intransitivo, pregunta por el sujeto. Eg 1: what happened in your last relationship?. E.g 2 (when the verb questions for subject) Who wrote D. Quixote? Cervantes wrote D. Quixote.

-You don´t +you forget to do this HOMEWORK for next Tuesday: Page 144 +from our book, practice 2.

Hi guys!

Today we started the lesson of English [better: English lesson] by doing the exercises 1, 2 and 3 of page 49 and we -learn +learnED a lot of new vocabulary about the text of this page:

To entertain /en.təˈteɪn/: to invite someone to your house and give food and drink to them. We entertain a lot of people, mainly business associates of my wife's.

To grab /ɡræb/: to take hold of something or someone suddenly and roughly. A mugger grabbed her handbag as she was walking across the park.

To do sb's head in: to make someone feel confused and unhappy. Getting up at four o'clock every morning was doing my head in. (me pone la cabeza como un bombo)

A fiver /ˈfaɪ.vər/:  five pounds, or a note worth five pounds. Can you change a tenner for two fivers? (¿Puedes cambiarme un billete de 10 libras por dos de 5 libras?)

Rip-off /ˈrɪp.ɒf/: something that is not worth what you pay for it. $300 for that shirt? - That's a complete rip-off. (Un robo, un timo)

Rip sb off: to cheat someone by making them pay too much money for something. Bob's tickets cost much less than ours - I think we've been ripped off.

To be -rip +ripped: ser musculoso.

Patronizing /ˈpæt.rə.naɪ.zɪŋ/ : speaking or behaving towards someone as if they are stupid or not important. It's that patronizing tone of hers that I can't bear. (condescendiente)

How come?: used to ask how or why something has happened. So how come you missed the train? (VERY IMPORTANT, se usa mucho)

I can't help it: no puedo evitarlo

I can't help myself: no puedo evitar ser como soy

Help yourself: to take something for yourself. "Might I have some more bread?" "Please, help yourself!" (Sírvete, coge lo que quieras)

A helping /ˈhel.pɪŋ/: an amount of food given to one person at one time. A small/large helping of pasta. (Una porción, ración)

Barely /ˈbeə.li/ : adverb, by the smallest amount. They have barely enough (= no more than what is needed) to pay the rent this month. (apenas)

Bare /beər/ : without any clothes or not covered by anything. There's no carpet in the room, just bare floorboards.

Barefoot/ˈbeə.fʊt/ : not wearing any shoes or socks. We took off our shoes and socks and walked barefoot along the beach.

Whatsoever /ˌwɒt.səʊˈev.ər/ : used after a negative phrase to add emphasis to the idea that is being expressed. I can honestly say that I have no interest whatsoever in the royal family.

Within /wɪˈðɪn/: inside or not further than an area or period of time. The tickets should reach you within the week (= before the end of this week)

To scroll /skrəʊl/: to move text or other information on a computer screen in order to see a different part of it. Scroll to the end of the document.

To come round: to visit someone in their home. Come round tonight and we'll watch a video.

To thumb online: darle a me gusta o no me gusta en internet, como en facebook.

To throw a party: to have a party. Flavio threw a party for Colin's 50th birthday. (Organizar una fiesta, NUNCA to make a party para ese significado)

In English we can't write an adjective without a noun like "the responsible" (estaría mal), we have to write the noun following this structure: the + adj + noun. So the correct phrase would be "the responsible person". If we write using the structure the + adj (without the noun), we would be speaking about a group of people in general like for example: the Spanish, the rich…

They found it difficult to make friends ("dummy it") instead They found to make friends difficult (gramaticalmente esto está bien pero no lo encontramos así normalmente).

Lanky /ˈlæŋ.ki/: tall and thin and often moving awkwardly as a result. I was your typical lanky teenager. (tirillas)

Misgiving /ˌmɪsˈɡɪv.ɪŋ/: a feeling of doubt or worry about a future event. Many teachers expressed serious misgivings about the new exams.

After that, we played in small groups with some cards with different situations to review the uses of different forms of the verb mind in page 39.

Then we continued by doing the listening exercises 1 and 2 of page 50 of the book. Next day we are going to listen +TO  it again.

That's all for now

See you next Thursday!

Lorena
