Notes and homework for courses on Nov. 3,4

Per gli studenti che seguono ogni giovedì:
We corrected the homework assignments in class, and answered some questions. (Some students discovered that the answers to all the exercises are in the book starting on p. 95!) We also corrected and wrote a series of messages from page 10. Your homework assignment is to do ALL of Unit 2 (p.12 to 17). Remember to do the Reading exercises and the Listening activities (go to the classwork/audio downloads link on the right hand side of this page to listen), and to prepare for the speaking activities, which we will do in class. I will also correct your writing in class.
By the way, be sure to check the blog next week, because class is cancelled on Nov. 10th and 11th!

Per gli studenti che seguono ogni venerdì:
In class we spoke about words associated with airports (click on 'comments' to see which ones we came up with!) and watched the practical English videos on page. 12. You should have already completed Unit 1, so if you want to check your skills, do p. 14-15, and also 126-127.
We also looked at some more complicated grammar (p. 128-129), and practiced the pronunciation of past tense regular verbs (ending with -ed). We also reviewed some irregular verbs (see page 155).
As homework, you should do ALL of Unit 2, especially the reading and listening (click on classwork/audio downloads for listening). There will be a quiz on these two units in class on Nov. 18, so come prepared! You will have enough time, because class is cancelled on Nov. 10th and 11th!
