Elementary IV - Homework

Choose your favorite place to eat. Write a review of the restaurant. Use superlative adjectives and some of the vocabulary in this unit.

"World Tastes" is one of the most popular restaurants in the city. They don't have the cheapest prices, but the food is excellent. You can choose from many international dishes on the menu. At World Tastes, you can enjoy the friendliest service possible in a large restaurant. It is located in one of the oldest and most beautiful buildings in the city. The restaurant is busiest on weekends, so you usually have to wait for a table.

Elementary IV - Homework

This is your homework.

Imagine you're going to move to another city (in your country or in another country). Write a paragraph comparing the new city with the place where you live now. For example:

I live in Tokyo now, but I'm goint to move to the north of Japan- to the city of Sapporo. Tokyo is bigger than Sapporo. It is also busier and more crowded because there are a lot of tourists and business people. There is a lot of traffic, and getting around is not easy. I like Sapporo because it is quieter, the people are friendlier, and life is more exciting there. Near Sapporo you can do many things like hiking, skiing, rafting, and other adventure sports. Summers are cool, and winters are longer and colder in Sapporo than in Tokyo. I think I'm going to enjoy life in Sapporo!

Here you have the example:
Today is the first day of summer, and it's 30 degrees. It's sunny and hot, and most people are wearing T-shirts and shorts. The weather here is warm in spring, cool in autumn, and cold in winter. In spring, people usually wear shorts or pants, and they sometimes wear sweatshirts or cardigans. In autumn, people always wear cardigans or sweaters. Winters here are not very cold, but you need a good jacket. It doesn't rain a lot here, but you may want to bring an umbrella.
We don't have any dangerous weather conditions here, but the weather is very cold and windy in the south especially in winter. In the south, people usually wear warm sweaters, jackets, scarves, and gloves. Do you have any hiking boots? You'll need them if you want to go to the mountains!

Do you believe in life after love / I can feel something inside me say / I really don't think you're strong enough, / Now/ Do you believe in life after love /I can feel something inside me say / I really don't think you're strong enough, / Now
What am I supposed to do / Sit around and wait for you / And I can't do that /There's no turning back / I need time to move on / I need love to feel strong / 'Cause I've had time to think it through / And maybe I'm too good for you Ohh Oh

Walter's project

I think a project is very important for the student because he has to use his knowledge in a real context, so I decided that my students from Starter II make interviews to a person who speaks English. This is one example that I liked a lot because I asked them to interview a teacher, and Walter Urrunaga met a native person in a bus stop and decided to do his project at that moment... very brave, good for him, and CONGRATULATIONS Walter...Here we have the interview:

This is not only for students' tasks, it's also for colleagues or friends who want to share something they want, the idea is: "_How can I do it? _ Here you have something that could help you"

So welcome to this blog, and let's share what we know... any idea you have is ok...
