Hi guys,
This is the LESSON PLAN for this week. I hope you are all very fine and feel like working on it.
– Vocabulary: Books and Reading p.70. Exercise 2 is essential to learn the basics of what a book review is like. Most of the language can also be used to talk about a film. On p.71 you have an example of a review and more vocabulary practice in ex. 3.
Note the points remarked in ex.5, which are essential when talking about a book or film: author (director, screenwriter, adaptation for a film), setting, characters, plot, recommendation. I will be giving you some more exercises on this, so for the moment just familiarize with the review language and structure.
– Grammar: Past Simple vs Past Perfect Simple and Continuous. To start with, download and watch the video on page 72, go on to read Grammar Reference 5 on p. 214 and do the exercises there. Then go on practising using the links below.
