Hi dear students!
Yesterday it was our last class. It was strange. I never want to finish my classes, but this year it was different. In normal circumstances classes would have finished on 15th May, and I would have had (hubiera tenido) exams, exams and exams. For me exams are boring and my timetable and organization get crazy, so I never want to do exams. One day you are hours doing oral exams, the next day the same, the following day the same... Every day the same.
This year I will not have my exams, just a few (unos pocos) exams at the end of June.
We hope certificación goes ok in Septembre. Let's cross (cruzar) our fingers!!
Remember the summer is long and you need to keep a minimum contact with English. Read a little bit, do some activity from the blog, watch one of the videos... Do a little bit.

CONVOCATORIA A EXAMEN EN LA SEGUNDA EXAMEN DE JUNIO DE TODAS
AQUELLAS PERSONAS CON LAS QUE NO HE MANTENIDO CONTACTO ESTE CURSO, O HAN
PERDIDO LA ESCOLARIDAD.
Detallo a continuación las personas que deberán presentarse
al examen de A1 en junio para poder pasar de curso. Excluyo todas aquellas
aprobadas por la evaluación continua o aquellas a las que ya he comunicado
personalmente que deben hacer el examen.
Poco a poco voy mandando emails e informándoos de vuestras notas. Si no lo habéis recibido antes del jueves lo haréis.
Repito: las personas de la lista que detallo a continuación son las que tienen o pueden hacer el examen presencial la segunda quincena de junio. Si no estáis, tranquilos, antes del jueves os llegará email.
Time passes so quickly. This is our last week. I'll see you tomorrow in class at 18.30h. As I may not have enough time and it is the last class, we will probably have two sessions. It is going to be a bit longer.
Here are the activities for today: 1. Listen to this story and answer the questions:
Exercise 2: play ladders and snakes (escaleras y culebras) con el presente simple y continuo. Le dais a "start", marcáis la repuesta y le dais a "submit". Si está bien os dejará tirar el dado y seguir progresando en el tablero.
LISTENING. You have a listening below (debajo). Primero escucharás: "Training test 1. Exercise2. Who is the woman describing? Listen and choose the correct picture in exercise 1". Hasta aquí dice esto. Quiero que me transcribáis lo que dice después, como si fuera un dictado. Escucháis la descripción las veces necesarias y me la mandáis.
El martes la última clase conjunta. Hoy haré las últimas clases de speaking. La semana que viene la reservo para unas pocas personas a las que les haré videoconferencia individual para acabar de ultimar la evaluación.
Este es el link para los clubes de conversación con los lectores la semana que viene: https://forms.gle/sc4Vm3Ry8CBsSi9A8 Después de San Bernabé ya no habrá videoconferencias conmigo, pero los clubs se van a mantener hasta el 23 junio. Enjoy the weekend!
Let's practise listening with this video. Listen, mark your answer on your notebook and check it at the end of the video. The key is at the end.
's can be the contraction of three different things:
1. is
2. has
3. Possession, saxon genitive
Do THIS EXERCISE by marking the correct equivalence of "'s"
More exercises:
Exercise 1: verbs to be and to have. Read sentences and mark them right or wrong.
Exercise 2: question formation with the verb "to be"
Exercise 3: verbs and vocabulary. Write the number not the word. La primera palabra que tenéis es "tennis" , tenéis que machearla al verbo correcto y poner el número del verbo no la palabra. En este caso tendríais que poner 2, porque 2 es play y la collocation es "play tennis".
Exercise 4: present simple and verbs. Choose the correct verb to complete the sentences.
Writing
Write a little paragraph of approximately 80 words answering the following question:
What's your favourite season? Why?
Todas aquellas personas que en algún momento se han conectado a alguna clase online, me han mandado tarea al email o hayan hecho speaking están aprobadas. No están aprobadas por eso, ya que hay personas que no han hecho nada de nada en este confinamiento y están también aprobadas y con buenas notas en algunos casos.
Dicho esto, y aludiendo a aquellos alumnos que de alguna manera habéis estado en comunicación conmigo a lo largo de este confinamiento, si hubiera algún alumno "deseoso" de repetir, o reticente a pasar de curso que me lo haga saber por email. Entiendo que no, pero por si acaso.
Poco a poco voy por email informándoos de las notas. Como tarde os diré el 4 junio. La semana que viene habrá pequeños "exámenes" por videoconferencia con algunas personas con las cuales ya he contactado.
Enjoy this sunny day! And see you later aligator!!
Allá va el link para quien quiera hacer conversación con nuestros lectores la semana que viene:
https://forms.gle/nUYEi1vcvGKb7KiSA
Comentaros también, sorry, que el otro día revisando emails en el móvil se me fue el dedo y archivé un email que no logro encontrar, ya que son cientos los que recibo y no sé identificarlo en la carpeta de archivados. No sé si es vuestro, de publicidad ... En caso de que alguien eche me menos la corrección de algún email que me lo diga , por favor.

Usad vuestra imaginación y respondiendo a las mismas preguntas de la entrevista del video haced una pequeña composición titulada: "Burgo's daily routine". Os la inventáis. 80-100 words. Me reiré un rato recordando viejos tiempos, jaja.
Allá va un kahoot para quien quiera revisar las "Time Prepositions". Si el anterior kahoot os salió regulín y queréis repetirlo en nickname poneis II y ya está. Por ejemplo, Burgo II.
Hi!!

Lo copiais y entráis en ese link. Os pedirá un Nickname, ponéis vuestro nombre y le dais a "GO". Podeis jugar y hacer las 11 preguntas, para pasar de pregunta darle a "Next"
Al final veis el podio. El kahoot estará disponible hasta el 30 mayo. El que gane punto extra. Podéis entrar una sola vez con un nickname que yo identifique.
Yo lo haría en el móvil que es más rápido y fácil, pero da igual dónde. Recordad que veis la pregunta, y luego se sube para arriba y hay que elegir una de las cuatro opciones. La pregunta se queda arriba. Cuentan los errores y no errores y el tiempo.
