Speculation and regrets

Hi! Today we worked on the past modals of speculation and regret. Next you'll find the slides.

Past modals of deduction, speculation and regret from Míriam

Also, make sure you spend some time this Easter covering this extra on modal verbs, from the book Intermediate Language Practice. EDITED: some of you let me know that the keys were missing, so I'm just adding them here. Sorry about that, by the way!

But have fun, rest and enjoy too! See you in two weeks time!

Expressing obligation, advice, lack of obligation and prohibition

This unit we must deal with the ways of expressing obligation and necesssity, advice, lack of obligation or necessity and prohibition. For this, we'll revise modal verbs and have to, need to and needn't (remember that not all of them are modal verbs!), so in order to have all the information about them, check the slides and do the activities.

Multiple choice exercise on DIY

Keeping with the topic of crafts, here you have a multiple choice activity on DIY. You have to do it as part of your homework, but I've prepared it so you can get the answers at home.

First, read the complete text on this picture I've uploaded. When you're ready, go to the Educaplay app, and choose the correct option for each of the 15 items.

Do It Yourself

DIY!

If you're keen on handicrafts, maybe you already know this abbreviation as it's really popular over the internet. It stands for "do it yourself", and within this topic we need to work on some vocabulary.

So I've prepared two interactive activities to help you learn these words by heart. The first one is a matching activity, to make sure you know all the words. Once this is done, you'll be ready to go for the second one, which is the familiar "memory" card game. Enjoy!

How to write an informal e-mail

Here we are again to look at a new type of text. This time we're dealing with informal e-mails (also useful for letters). This task should be easier, because language is informal and we're not restricted by structures and phrases typical of other more formal texts, such as our last letter of application. Even so, don't be careless, as even if it is informal, the nicer the language (vocabulary, grammar, expressions...), the better.

In the following slides you'll find some tips, useful language, and also a sample e-mail that you can use as an inspiration for your own.

Practise the present perfect continuous

Hi! As I told, I'm working to bring you interactive activities so you can practise at home quickly and easily, because you need no paper nor pen, and they are corrected after you've finished each one.

Tell me how you feel about this new application. Have fun!
