ESO YEAR 2 - WRITING: Sample answer

This is the answer to the homework due Monday, 27th March 2017

Hi Michael!

How are you? I’m not feeling good.

Yesterday, after school, I went to my grandma’s house and we had lunch together. We were eating her delicious food while she was telling me her stories. I was listening with attention when my whole body started to hurt. I was feeling really bad when she asked me if I was ok. She took me to the doctor.

The doctor says I’ve got the flu. I can’t move from bed! I mustn’t go to school. I should drink lots of water.

Write back soon!

ESO YEAR 2 - WRITING: Sample answer

This is an example of a possible answer to the writing activity set as homework in our last class:

Hi Steve!
How are you? I'm not feeling good.
Yesterday, after school, I finished lunch and I took a nap. While I was sleeping, I started to feel bad. My ears were aching while my temperature was going up. Later, I was getting ready for football  practice when my parents came home. They took me to the doctor.
The doctor says I've got an earache. I can't hear properly. I mustn't go swimming. I must use eardrops.
Write back soon!

ESO YEAR 2 - SPEAKING (UNIT 5 - Page 56)

ONLY FOR STUDENTS WHO DID NOT TAKE THE UNIT 5 ORAL EXAM ON THURSDAY, 23rd FEBRUARY

• You can use the following information to practise at home for the exam on Monday, 27th March:

ESO YEAR 4 - SPEAKING

•  After you have practised the dialogue on page 66 using the graphic representation found on the previous entry, try creating new dialogues based on the following three representations:

• Some general information you may need:

-Two horizontal arrows = these (two is plural, like "these")
-Two diagonal arrows = those (two is plural, like "those")

• In case you don't understand some of the pictures (no wonder!), let me clear things up:

-Situation 1: high-heels // watch // tie // coat
-Situation 2: handbag // flip-flops // belt // gloves
-Situation 3: necklace // earrings // sunglasses // ring

• Remember how to form the comparative form of the adjectives:

-Short adjectives (1 syllable or 2 syllables if it ends in -y): _____-er than
Examples: smaller than // easier than
-Long adjectives (2 syllables with no -y ending or more syllables with any ending): more __________ than
Examples: more boring than // more interesting than

• Possible positive adjectives: great, fantastic, fabulous, great, wonderful, incredible, etc

ESO YEAR 4 - SPEAKING

• Look at the following graphic representation of the dialogue on page 66 (the dialogue that we read in the language lab and some students took pictures of).

• Read the dialogue several times, and then try to reproduce it only by looking at the representation.
• KEY:

A: (hand) Can you help me..? // (A?B?C?) choose something?

B: (tick) Sure // (eye) look at // (one horizontal arrow) this // (miniskirt) miniskirt // (thought bubble) I think it's... // (really nice) really nice.

A: (two equal thought bubbles) I agree // (positive ADJective) It's beautiful. // (smiley) I like // (one diagonal arrow) that // (shirt) shirt // too.

B: (three question marks) Really? // (sad smiley) I don't like it. // (thought bubble) I think // (adjective "dull" underlined by an arrow) it's too dull.

A: What about // (one horizontal arrow) this // (cap + question mark) cap? // (smiley + question mark) Do you like it?

B: (X) No, I don't. // (person speaking) In my opinion it's // ("ugly") ugly.

A: Well, // (two different thought bubbles) I disagree. // (smiley) I like it.

B: (eye) Look at // (one horizontal arrow) this // (shirt with the word "red") red shirt // (> and the adjective "pretty" indicate comparative) much prettier than // (one diagonal arrow) that // (shirt with the word "grey") grey shirt.

A: (tick) You're right. // (smiley with closed eyes) Thanks for // (two arrows following the same itinerary) coming with me // and // (hand) helping me // (smiley trying to find an answer) decide.
