THURSDAY 30TH APRIL

GOOD MORNING CLASS! 
It's Thursday but it's like a Friday, because we don't have class tomorrow 💃💃💃💃!!!

Well, today we are going to do a listening in order to practice the vocabulary and the grammar of the unit:
LISTENING: A RADIO PROGRAMME PAGE 78  EX 5 - 6

AUDIO EX 5 : 🔊

AUDIO EX 6 : 🔊

And also a question-and-answer exercise, in order to get ready for the SPEAKING activity: Talking about problems.
PAGE 79, EX 9 

Remember to copy all the sentences and use the dictionary to understand their meaning. If you don't clearly understand the meaning, the exercise has no sense. 

ENJOY YOUR LONG WEEKEND 

TUESDAY 28TH - WEDNESDAY 29TH

GOOD MORNING CLASS!

Third week of the third term and only four class days. Yes, next Friday is the first of May, the International Workers' Day. So we are having just three English lessons.

How about your staying at home while your younger brothers and sisters went out for a walk? Or you are still fourteen years old and could go out with your family? The case of Ilde, for example, must have been hard: he has just turned 15, so he hasn't been able to go out for a walk with his family. Oh, Damn!!! I'm sorry my friend. Anyway you can go to to the shops on your own: not bad at all!

And talking about school work, we keep on learning vocabulary and expressions to talk about friendship

Today we start the last part of the unit with some vocabulary activities.

Please read the TEXT on PAGE 78. Listen carefully to this audio:

Look up in the dictionary for all the new words and try to understand the text. Then, practice your reading and your pronunciation. Listen and repeat as many times as it is necessary. When you are able to do it well, record your voice and send me the audio.

After that, You'll be ready to do the following activities:

GOOD MORNING CLASS!!!
Today is Friday

It has been a long working week and we're going to relax a bit today. No more writing exercises.

Today we are going to learn real ENGLISH though films. 
Have a look at this  YOUTUBE CHANNEL and watch the movie fragments you fancy the most. Watch some of them and enjoy. Enjoy your weekend too. See you on Monday.

THURSDAY 23RD

ATTENTION: Many of you haven't sent the EXTRA PRACTICE activities yet!! DO IT TODAY!!!

Well class!

It seems that you are understanding the MODALS quite well. 

Remember that we are talking about LEARNING.
We are not just talking about doing exercises and sending them to the teacher. 

The Coronavirus is teaching us some lessons. One of them is that you can learn by yourselves with a little help from your teacher and your determination to LEARN.

Just sending exercises is useless, but if you LEARN at the same time, your English will be a reality. You will be able to communicate in this amazing language. 

We are using the MODALS to communicate about friendship. Don't forget.

End of Sermon.

And now it's time to practice 

CAN - COULD - BE ABLE TO - MAY - MIGHT 

with some activities:

PAGE 157, EX 4

PAGE 158, EX 5, 6, 7

Deadline Friday evening

1. can     could     have to     must     might     should
2. must     have to

Good luck

ANSWERS TUESDAY 21ST WEDNESDAY 22ND

The answers to EXTRA PRACTICE will be published tomorrow

TUESDAY 21ST APRRL - WEDNESDAY 22ND APRIL

Second week after Easter and we MUST keep on working with  MODAL VERBS. Some students have made very good summaries of the grammar. Some have taken good notes form the videos.

I HAVE POSTED A NEW FUNNY VIDEO:  HAVE A LOOK AT IT ↠ ↠ ↠ ↠ ↠ ↠ ↠

It's important to understand it well before doing the activities. it's also very important to understand the sentences. If you know the grammar rules and understand the sentence, your answers will be correct. It's important that yo take your responsibility over this.

Let's revise a bit before going ahead. These are the four first MODAL verbs:


MUST:                OBLIGACIÓN:                          DEBER
SHOULD:           DAR CONSEJOS.                      DEBERÍA
HAVE TO:           OBLIGACIÓN:                          DEBER
NEED TO:          OBLIGACIÓN - NECESIDAD:   TENER QUE


HAVE TO y NEED TO se conjugan. Es decir, se pueden poner en otros tiempos verbales (pasado, futuro, etc) empleando el auxiliar DO/DOES en presente, DID en pasado y WILL en futuro.

MUST y SHOULD son verdaderos modales. Por lo que solo se usan en presente.

ACTIVITIES: PAGE 157 EX 1-2-3
EXTRA PRACTICE 1 

You can do these activities with your computer on the WORD file. If you want.
DEADLINE: WEDNESDAY EVENING!

ABOUT THE READING: the legend of Damon and Pythias
It's great to hear your voices again. And most of you have made a good reading. Nevertheless, I am sure you could do it better if you listened to the recording and practiced several times before. Please, use this system and try to improve your pronunciation next time:

Today we are going to start with the second grammar point of this Unit. We keep on learning about the MODAL VERBS. This time with: 

CAN - COULD - BE ABLE TO - MAY  - MIGHT

I have posted two good videos. You can see them on the right of this page: ⇉⇉⇉⇉⇉⇉⇉⇉⇉⇉

Everything is also clearly explained in Spanish in the grammar appendix of your textbook (pages 174 -175). Read it and take relevant notes in your notebook (you can send me a photo, please).

Once you have watched the videos, read the grammar appendix and take notes. Then, it's time to check if you have understood everything. How are we going to check that? Doing some exercises:
EX 5-6-7-8 PAGE 77 (DEADLINE NEXT MONDAY 20TH EVENING)

And remember: 

• LEARNING IN YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. 
• LEARNING IS GOOD FOR YOU. 
• WHEN YOU LEARN YOU GROW.

WELCOME TO THE THIRD TERM

Hi guys!

Here we are again, ready to face the last term of this strange school year.
From now on we will  work with a new blog: irongambon3d.
Yes, it is a personal blog only for our class.

Every week I will post the work for every class day. You must work every class day and send me you work when you finish it. Be punctual. Send you work before I post the answers. If you send it after, you mark won't be the same.

When I send the answers, you must correct your activities with a green or red pen. You must understand you mistakes, and If you don't understand anything you must ask me your doubts by email to valgandax@gmail.com.

Don't forget to write THE NUMBER OF EXERCISE AND THE NUMBER OF PAGE.

Online learning demands your reponsibility.

Your goal must be LEARNING, not just sending your activities. Remember: learning is your goal,
