Homework for Dec 17

Hi everyone,

The link of the audio we listened in class is here, for whoever wants to check it again :)

Please think of a Christmas song for adults we could work on next Tuesday, our last lesson, and bring your suggestions on Thursday.

Bye for now.

Homework for Dec 10

Hello everyone,

I hope you are enjoying your long four-day weekend (I used a compound adjective, yeah!) and checking the blog as well.
As you know we don't have a lesson on Tuesday December 8, as the school is closed.

Here there's something extra to help you with compound adjectives, since you have a long weekend and (hopefully) more time to study ;) - A listening called "I'm in!" where you need to do the Preparation task first and then the other tasks.

PS1: Please remember to come at 18.00 next Thursday and have a group chat with the IH inspector - it's also in your interest because it ensures you are offered quality services at GigaIH.

PS2: The online dictionary I told you about is: http://dictionary.reference.com - here you can find fun stuff like the origin of the word pizza!

Click on me :)

Enjoy :P

Homework for 11 Nov

Hi class,

I'm really happy to have you as a group! You've started doing a great job in class, so keep it up! Remember from now on we have Stewy, who will keep an eye on your use of Italian in class ;)

For next time, here's an extra activity you can do: a video about extreme sports, like parkour or white-water rafting - watch it and do the tasks below.
Enjoy!

Bye for now,

Homework for Oct 27

Hi everyone,

For next time please find out the difference between nerds and geeks, watch this video and do the tasks below. Add the new vocabulary to your list for Unit 1.

And last but not least, I'd like you to use the internet to find a biography of a famous fashion designer. Make notes for a short presentation (in English, obviously) and bring some pictures of his/her designs you feel strongly about. Also say why you chose the designer.

That's all for now.
Have a great weekend!

Do you like shopping?

Hi everyone,

In our last lessons we talked about clothes and shopping, here there is a nice video where you can listen to ways of asking where someone bought something. Watch it and do the Preparation and the Task below. You can read the Transcript at any time! Enjoy!

Bye for now!
