Classes have been cancelled due to the State of Alarm introduced because of the Coronavirus outbreak. The grammar exams of all my groups have been changed to new dates you can check HERE. Detailed info about all the changes on the school's webpage.
This is what you should work on during the lockdown for these exams:
I've set up groups on Google Classroom to keep in touch with you. You need a code to entre your group. I've sent the codes by whatsapp & email to students of 4ºESO and 1ºBAC to pass on to others. My 2ºESO students or anybody who hasn't received it or has any doubts/questions can contact me at the email at the end of this message.
Keep calm down during the lockdown. There's a lot of time to do lots of things.

So we've watched the films you chose in English previous to the Christmas holidays. You could see that you have understood quite a lot.
Once again reminding you that it's a good way to practice listening, pronunciation, entonation vocabulary & everyday expressions in context. Watching films or TV series is one of the funniest, chepeast and most efficient ways to learn English. Obviously watching them in English with English subtitles.
Here are some help tips:
- Choose a film. If possible one you've already seen, so you won't miss the plot.
- Play it in English with English subtitles. As time goes by try watching without them to check if you are able to understand it .
- Don't do it as a marathon. It's a fun way to learn. It shouldn't be boring so it's better to watch half or an hour of an English film a day.
- Write down each word you don't understand and look it up in the dictionary. Each and every new word you don't understand. It may seem tiring, but you'll be thankful. Revise them days later.
- Practice pronunciation. Try repeating some of the actor's lines, imitating their entonation.
Choose a film that you like. Here's a possible list by levels: - Beginners: "Harry Potter", "Indiana Jones", "E.T." - Intermediate:"Notting Hill", "Grease", "Casablanca" - Advanced:"The King's Speech", "My Fair Lady", "Billy Elliot" To end, let's remember two scenes from the films we've just seen: Video "Mark & Juliet's scenes/Christmas Cards for Juliet" from "Love Actually":
Video: "Mr Napkin Head & The Tent Scenes" from "The Holiday":
So why don't you watch a film or two in English during these holidays? Good practice.
What is a cline? The British Council Teaching English website defines a cline as ‘a scale of language items that goes from one extreme to another, for example, from positive to negative, or from weak to strong’.Clines can be very effective in clarifying language, giving a very visual representation of meaning. Theyare very versatile and can be used for vocabulary or grammar.
The examples of clines you can see here were taken from the blog Recipes for the EFL classroom. Above this text: temperature vocabulary. Below: adverbs of frequency:
