In our last lesson we were studying the vowel sound /æ/. Words that contain it are: man, hat, cat, bat, and, act, pattern, matter, candle, etc.

It is important to remember, though,  that vowel sounds vary a lot from country to country. It is good to practice them, because you train your mustles to produce English sounds. 

After practicing /æ/, we  were talking about books and films. Each student had to think of a book or film they had enjoyed and their classmates had to ask them the following questions:

What´s it called?

What´s it about?

Where does it take place?

Who wrote it?

Who directed it?

Who starred in it?

Who are the main characters?

Why do you like it?


We started our next topic, which is about "Career moves", but we didn´t have time to do much. In this topic we´ll be studying gerund phrases as subjects and as objects.

Some adjectives we saw we can use to describe a job are:

challenging, rewarding, boring, nerve-racking, awful

For Homework
