English in NDBA

This afternoon, we worked on the methodology of how to write an essay. I gave you a worksheet to work on linkwords, to learn how to introduce, make a plan and conclude.

Thanks to this worksheet, you will write an essay on TVs.

I will not see you again before the vacation since during our next class, I will listen to your project for the BAC.

Today we started working on the correction of your fake exam.

Review the different methodologies to write essays you can find on this site in the "How to" category.

This afternoon we finished working on the TV spot promoting Buy Nothing day and then we corrected the reading comprehension on 'The consumer society'.

Don't forget to work on the vocabulary very well for next time.

Today we finished working on the listening comprehension "Pepper spraying incident"

Then we watched a new document which is part of a campaign to promote Buy Nothing Day. I gave you this worksheet to complete.

Today you had a very short vocabulary test, and then we finished working on "Buy Nothing Day".

For next time, work on this topic, on the vocabulary and on the document "trampled to death" to be ready for a listening comprehension exercise.

Today we studied Buy Nothing day thanks to this document. I gave you a short text entitled "trampled to death" to get ready for a listening comprehension.

Today, we started working on a new notion and chapter dealing with India. The issue I suggested is: Does India's booming industry benefit every inhabitant? We'll study India's contrasts and India's progress.

We started with a short quiz to learn a few things about this country and then we studied a short text entitled 'A city of contrast'. For next time you have to list all the opposite words of the first paragraph and answer the first two questions p.138 in your book.

Today we finished correcting the listening comprehension entitled "Russian ban" Now that you have all the keywords, listen to it again as well as the other documents we've studied already to train, get better at listening comprehension and do well on Monday's test .

As I told you, you need to train by listening to English recordings and videos as often as possible. You can click on youtube and type keywords linked to the topic we're studying to find interesting documents to work on. Follow that link as well to start with easier documents but don't lose time: your exam is in just a few months!

Today, we finished working on the video dealing with the English ban. Watch it again now that you have all the answers to understand it better.

Work well for Monday's test!
