Hiya! How are you all keeping?<\/p>\n
Here is this week’s homework. I hope that you have some spare time to study and do at least part of it. If you are pushed for time, choose whatever you find more useful or more doable.<\/p>\n
–\u00a0The music industry. Video activity.<\/b>\u00a0Listening practice combined with work on relatives and question formation. The link to the video is in the exercise, as well as the answers.<\/p>\n
The music industry<\/a><\/p>\n –\u00a0Relatives.<\/b>\u00a0More exercises on this grammar point + key. (pdf)<\/p>\n Practice on relatives<\/a><\/p>\n –\u00a0Animals<\/b>. This is a true\/false listening test on the topic of wild-life animal protection. Key included (no script)<\/p>\n Animals: exercise<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0audio<\/a><\/p>\n –\u00a0Being a volunteer<\/b>. Listen to five people talking about their experience of being a volunteer and match each speaker to the idea they express.<\/p>\n Being a volunteer: exercise<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0answer key<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0script<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0audio<\/a><\/p>\n The following are some resources on the pronunciation of -ed in regular past simple and past participles that I recommended doing at B2.2. If you feel that you are not sure about how to pronounce the ending -ed, save a little time to watch these videos and do the exercise.<\/p>\n –\u00a0Videos:<\/b>\u00a0Watch these three online videos, which clearly explain the rules of pronunciation and give examples:<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zh_DM7qJGWo<\/a><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=I0nF-xNWd2A<\/a><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YWuS7rfZlDQ<\/a><\/p>\n –\u00a0Exercise:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n rules of -ed pronunciation<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0exercise<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0key<\/a><\/p>\n On the webpage\u00a0British Council LearnEnglish Teens<\/a>,\u00a0there are loads of activities, many of which -though primarily intended for teens- can be of the interest of all ages. There are fabulous activities to practise Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing at different levels. B1 and B2 resources can also be helpful if you are studying for Certificaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n Why not start trying this level B2\u00a0listening and speaking interactive video<\/b>:<\/p>\n Discussing exam results<\/a><\/p>\n Do the listening\/use of English exercises following the instructions on the page, and then try taking up the role in the conversation yourself, as suggested. This is a good chance for you to develop your speaking skills in sort of ‘real’ informal contexts, and good practice for the Interaction paper in Certificaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n If you find the topic of this lesson appealing, give the exercises on pp.92-93 a try, while this way you kind of round off the unit and the contents seen in B2.1 throughout the year.<\/p>\n – Ex.1 & 2, p.92. Match the photos with the reading texts. Have you done any of these activities before? Would you like to? If none of them is appealing to you, why is it so?<\/p>\n – Ex.3 is a vocabulary exercise, while the task in ex.4 is similar to a kind of work you may be asked to do in\u00a0Mediation<\/b>: read through the texts and decide which place is more suitable for each family and why.<\/p>\n – Ex.4 & 5.\u00a0Listening.\u00a0<\/b>There are two different tasks here. First complete the table and afterwards do the matching in ex.5 and check your answers paying attention to the expressions in A-F used in the conversation.<\/p>\n – Ex.7. This exercise is the most interesting one in the section. It contains very\u00a0common expressions<\/b>\u00a0you need to know. Go through it and focus on the phrases and their exact words and structures.<\/p>\n –\u00a0VIDEO: Florida<\/b>. As usual, watch it several times and make notes about the\u00a0 listed things.\u00a0Possible answers<\/u>:<\/p>\n Cities in Florida<\/u>: Orlando- theme Park capital of the world;\u00a0\u00a0Miami- one of the USA’s most visited cities<\/p>\n Land animals<\/u>: butterflies, rattlesnakes and flamingos<\/p>\n Underwater animals<\/u>: manatee (or sea-cow)- grow to around 3 metres long; alligators, turtles<\/p>\n Diving in Florida<\/u>: divers can explore the wrecks and reefs and see the clownfish and the sea anemone<\/p>\n This is the full\u00a0video script<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you cannot read the video QR for any reason whatsoever, use this link<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/OW_First_Vid19<\/a><\/p>\n I’ll be back soon.
