Student’s Book, if not done already,

Page 26, Exercise 1, Listening and Vocabulary, sections A-D, using your online materials and working with a classmate or classmates on WhatsApp or another social media platform, take notes on sections 3.1-3.4, then together try to reconstruct what you heard, then listen again and check the text. Then page 154, Transport Vocabulary, in your group.

Page 28, Exercise 4, Listening, sections A-D, using your online materials and working with a classmate or classmates on WhatsApp or another social media platform. Take notes on section 3.9, then together try to reconstruct what you heard, then listen again and check the text.

Page 29, Exercise 7, Speaking, section B. First prepare your anecdote carefully tomorrow. Then, on Wednesday, tell your story to your classmates online on WhatsApp or another social media platform. They have to guess if you are telling the truth.

Page 31, Exercise 3, Pronunciation, sections A-B

Pages 34-35, Colloquial English, Exercises 1-3, using your online video materials and working with a classmate or classmates on WhatsApp or another social media platform.

Writing, if still not done! – Use the writing materials on the blog and Classroom, ‘How to write a formal letter of enquiry’ Take notes on the layout, structure and normative language for this type of formal letter. Then, in your group finish writing your letter to the school advertised on the website. This is a group exercise, not an individual one. So no individual letters, please.

Writing, based on Page 116, so follow the instructions in sections e-h. Work with your group. You will probably need 2 meetings on a social media platform like Zoom. Make sure you talk in English all the time. Someone in the meeting should act as secretary and type the first draft on their pc as the others produce ideas and sentences. They should send the draft to everyone. At the second meeting, you should add to it, check it and correct it. The secretary sends it to me on behalf of the group. Everyone keeps a copy. No individual stories, please. Take your time. No hurry. Do the exercise properly.

Revise Grammar pages 136-7. Then do:
