Level 3 Week 3

Hi everyone, I hope you are all well.

After conditional 1, this week in Unit 7B you can  have a look at Conditional 2, which is about hypothetical situations. This is something you know from previous levels, so it should not be difficult.  The verb tenses that we use here are Past (translated as a Subjuntive) and Conditional.
Let me know if you have any problems with it .

The vocabulary section  is about houses

Remember that you have the answer key to the exercises  in the Blue pages in the Tests and Keys section.
 And a song by Katie Melua to go with Conditional 2 sentences

Level 2 Week 2b

HI Level 2,

After  the conditional 1 sentences (that's easy, isn't it?)you should try to finish File 8 with unit 8C, which is about  personal and possessive pronouns and adjectives like I, ME, MY, MINE -That's confusing!

There is a good story (You will be mine!) in 4 parts. You start reading, then reading and listening and then part 4 is only listening. I think you can find the audio in your e-materials. Try if you can. It's a good story!
Questions by mail or in Padlet!
And don't forget the second composition!


As usual, it comes with a song!

Student's Book Answer Key

Hello everybody,

Some of you asked for it, and I've finally found it! I've just posted Key to the Student's book  Blue Pages in  the 'TESTS AND KEYS" section , just before the 'Entry Checker Key'. I didn't even know this PDF existed!  ... but  don't forget that  YOU have the key to the workbook exercises ;-)

Please let me know if you cannot find it.
Take care!

Level 3 Week 2

Hi everyone,
In this second week of Self-isolation this is what you can do:

1. Conditional 1 (IF) + future time clauses  (when, as soon, as, until, etc)

Conditional 1 sentences are so easy, but be careful with the Future time clauses because they are like Cond 1 sentences but the translation into Cat/Sp is different.

If you come I will be happy  (Cond 1 )
When you come I will be happy (see the translation of the 1st verb is different)

2. Vocabulary: Education.

3. Remember to read as much as you can-and write the composition you should've sent me last week!

Take care!

Level 2 week 2

Hi,
I hope you are all well. Thank you for the compositions you've sent me. You kept me busy!
So we are starting the second self-isolation week,  and I've created a PADLET to keep track of the things you should be doing. There's a lot of traffic on the net these days, so I don't know if that's going to work well or not, but we'll try.

LEVEL 2 PADLET

I've also created a section  on the blog with a link to the padlet (right before the 'Class stuff' section
So this week we have

UNIT 8B: We are starting conditional sentences!

And as usual, a song to go with it!

LEVEL 3: DEDUCTION

Unit 6 is about modal verbs of deduction:
And some music to go with it! It must be love, by Madness Do your workbook and take care!

LEVEL 2: SHOULD

I hope you are all well, We saw the model verbs of obligation last week, so this week it's SHOULD for ADVICE (consell)/recommendation.
And some music to go with it for you to sing along! Do your workbook and let me know if you have any questions!

Take care!

Yes, minister

A bit of humour in times of crisis.
This is taken from a very popular  political satire British sitcom from years ago, now a classic, and maybe it rings a bell *

There are many modal verbs (obligation, possibility, advice...) and  ways to express prediction.  Look at the use of 'nothing'  too. Fill in the gaps

In stage one we say: nothing _____________ happen
In stage two we say: maybe something ___________ but we __________ do  nothing about it.
In stage three we say: Maybe we _________ do something about it but there’s nothing we _________ do
In stage four we say: Maybe there’s something we __________    *but it’s too late now.

School closure

As all of you know, the school will be closed for 2 weeks (until March 27th) minimum.
However, technology is great  and  will allow us to keep in touch so that you can still keep on learning  English.

To start with, both Level 2 and 3 have
-  a composition to write, which you can send to
onacarreras@gmail.com
- A  book to read: we'll be using this book for a writing task the week before Easter. I'll give you more information when the time comes
- I've just posted tests of the last unit we've done in class and I'll be uploading more online exercises.

.... and more announcements to follow, so take care and  keep in touch!
