COURSE II - GROUP 8 - GROUP 31

Since some of you do not have a Facebook account, I will inform you using this blog again as we did during the previous course.

First of all, here are the tasks that are due for Tuesday, May 14th:

First tasks: 

Workbook Unit 7 

You will make all exercises of the unit except the one of the last page 41 of Unit 7

Workbook Unit 8 

You have to make all exercises except the one on page 47 because you have to bring that page for next class Tuesday, May 14th. Furthermore, you can omit page 46 of the workbook when you present it to me on Tuesday.

Second task:

Write the past simple form of the verbs of the reading " Zac Efron's biography" I gave to you in groups of two or three. After you have finished, bring that reading to class for Tuesday because we will work on an activity with that.


Third Task:

Speaking activity

In the speaking activity, you have to bring an old photograph of someone of your family or yourself when you were a child. The oral presentation is individually. You must bring an old photograph because you will describe it. There are NO EXCEPTIONS for not presenting the activity on Tuesday.

In the photograph you have to describe and retell a short story about it. Furthermore, take into account that the questions in the example I will provide are only for you to guide the information you will say. You have to try to be as natural as possible and not tell the information during the presentation as if you were answering questions. Ensure yourself to use Present and  Simple Past   appropiately. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO READ or LOOK AT PAPERS with full information. Nevertheless, you can bring some cards to support your speech.

There is an example of questions for you to guide your presentation:

- When did the people on the photo take that photograph?

-Where were the people in the photo?

-Who were the people in the photograph?

-How old is it now?

-How old were the people in the photo when they took it?

-How many years are there since the people on the photo took the picture until now?

-Who are the relatives in the picture? Is it your father, mother, grandmother? 
How old were they? How old are they now?

- Are the people in the photo alive or dead? 

-When did the people in the photo die? 



-Here is a clear example of a written description of an old photograph. You can base the following description as a guide for you to prepare your oral activity.

The Two Girls

First of all, in this picture there is a car, two girls and a road. There are two girls in a car. They apparently drive a car. This photo was taken in 1927 in Ohio, U.S.A. The girl's father took the photograph for them. The girls looked happy. The girls were outside their house in their father's car.  Besides, the girls in the photo were nine and eight years old, the girls are now dead. The girls in the photo were my grandmother's sister and her cousin. In addition, the photograph is eighty six years old now. Finally, I chose this picture because I found interesting to look at the past of my family and to recognize my ancestors.
