Hi everybody! Next week only Wednesday and Thursday groups will be able to attend their weekly lesson because of the Monday-Tuesday holiday. Please, if you are in the half-groups affected and your next lesson at EOI is not taking place until Monday 14/Tuesday 15 December, try to devote the necessary time to complete the self-study home assignments I told you about in class:
♦ From OPEN WORLD, unit 2:
- Reading p.28-29, Social Media and Friendship. Exercises 2, 3 and 7 are the proper reading activitity. Do ex. 4, 5 and 6 as well, which can help you find useful strategies to improve your reading skills.
- Grammar p.30, The passive. Do/Revise exercise 4. Watch the video beforehand so that you can remember how passive structures are formed.
- Grammar reference p.208, The passive. Read the explanations and check your answers to the exercises. Start by doing this, and then go on with the online exercises below. We will be doing more work on passive structures in the coming weeks
♦ Online grammar practice: Passive Exercises (perfect-english-grammar.com)
Study the explanations at the top of the webpage section, which include how to form a passive sentence, and also this video with the pronunciation of 50 of the most common irregular past participles:
Do the 7 sets of exercises, classified from intermediate to difficult.
♦ Vocabulary: Illnesses and Treatments. Here is the photocopy we have seen in class these days. Go through the vocabulary again, do the exercises and check your answers with the help of the key.
Illnesses and treatments exercises key
♦ Listening practice: This is a listening activity in two parts on the topic of Relationships and Health and lifestyles. Listen to it 3 times, as usual, and then see if your answers match the key.
Read the tapescripts carefully. The second listening contains useful tips for a healthy lifestyle that could be used for oral expression, mediation and writing activities.

◇ If you did the listening and reading tests in class last week and you wish to work on them a bit further, in a previous post I have included the links to the audios, questions, keys and scripts. The reading test was taken from Open World Workbook.
Check out this blog/Teams on Thursday 10th December for an upload of some exercises we’ll be doing in class that week -so that you can also do them at home-, and possibly a few more homework activities.
