Pronunciation practice



Hi guys,
I imagine you have been practicing a lot the pronunciation of the words we studied in class. I found a nice site that might help you with some examples of sounds that are different in English.

Please visit the site and click on the exercise you want to practice. I reccomend numbers 1 to 10 because those are the vowel sounds we are practicing right now. Have fun!!!

Food, food and more food!!!



Hello everybody,

Hope you are doing OK studying vocabulary for our next class on describing food. I thought of helping you a little bit so I have some matching and concentration games for you.

a. Go to each one of the following links:

http://www.quia.com/mc/551414.html?AP_rand=1246892728


b. Click on: play this game

c. Match the pictures with their names by clicking on each correspondent item.

d. Play as many times as you want.

If you think those are too easy, try the following two which are a bit more difficult because you have to use your memory skills (similar procedure):

What's the weather like in . . .?



Hi everybody,
This time I have an assignment in which you will have to "travel" around the world. The goal is that you find places around the world with the appropriate weather to do some activities. Follow these instructions.

a. Go to the page: www.weatherforecastmap.com
b. Look for places around the world with the right weather conditions to do the following activies:
*Stay home and drink a hot chocolate.
*Go swimming.
*Walk at the park.
*Take a nap.
*Wear a sweater you got for your birthday.
*Go skiing.
c. When you have found the places. Post a comment saying what temperature and weather the place has and what activity we can do there.

Example: The weather in Rome, Italy is clear and sunny with a temperature of 18°C. It's good weather to play soccer with your friends.
