Friday 28th of November: no class

I must attend a conference in Plasencia this Friday. Therefore we'll have to put off (postpone) this Friday's lesson (28th of November). I was thinking of the 12th of December but we'll talk about it in class. See you this evening!
By the way, I have already sent you another e-mail with your writing exercises and a report. You can bring them to class today and we'll comment on them. At this stage you shouldn't pay too much attention to your mark. Try to concentrate on understanding the highlighted mistakes. I'm incredibly happy with your work in spite of the mark.

Food: fuel or pleasure

You know we are dealing with the topic of food. I've just found a couple of pages with lists of vocabulary and activities concerning food. I thought you might find them interesting.
1. Fruits and vegetables.
2. Vocabulary list.
3. Presentation on food (this is a paperport document and it's excellent since it's got lots of activities including reading and listening activities. It's name is presfood.pps)

I don't feel like dancing- Private Practice

I know you found this song very difficult. Here you'll be able to see the exercise again and have access to the song:
To be honest I must say that you did the exercise incredibly well and you worked really hard with the rhymes.

I have also included the exercise and the scene of Private Practice we watched on October the 31st.
