HOLIDAYS

I wouldn't like you to feel idle or lost on your holiday because you miss school so much... so here are some suggestions to keep you busy :-)

READ a BOOK! For instance Alice's adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carrol 
For short stories try this site


If you have nothing better to do try these quizzes:
PROVERBS
Remember you can find many more activities on BBC Learning English. Search the site.

Finally:
Our first BIG QUESTION next term will be: CAN MACHINES THINK?
Yes, I'm taking the challenge from Tuesday conference so you might like to read/listen to this BBC report about Alan Turing .

There you are. Plenty to do:-)

HAVE A NICE HOLIDAY.

Debating (4)

Today, there are two points I'd like to make...
For starters, take a look at these useful expressions you'll need for the debate.
Then, check these sentences that will help you review the Passive, hopefully :-)
There you are. Now you can interrupt me. Excuse me!!!

Debating (3)

Some of you have done some interesting research.
Susana R. (10-5) found out more about what the world will/would be like with all the new technologies and what the new gadgets can do to our health...

Joana (10-8) brought this video about the MEDIA, present and future. Good for listening practice :-)
