HOBBIES

Would you like enjoying playing and practising?

Have a look at this video and guess what's going on!

Summer time

We don't know how, but the end of the school year has is here. I know that you want to switch off from school, but I recommend you to keep your English alive! How? 

• You can listen to English songs and learn them. Examples:            

 

• Also, you can read English readings, 
• you can play games, and 
• you can use videos to improve your fluency. The video below is an example. Try to match the tone, speed and even the accent. It doesn't matter if you miss a few words, the important thing is to practice the language.

Anyway, now is up to you!

I want to say goodbye and give to you some advices for these days:

Smile, relax, forbid, swim, go running, go on excursions,  try to say what you feel, go for a walk, draw and paint, read a book, sing in the shower, keep your good memories, take some photos, listen to your friends, show your happiness, write your feelings, listen to the nature and respect the environment, help people, do what you have promised, let someone help you, look at flowers, help to your friends, turn the TV off and chat with your relatives, listen to your favourite music, learn something you have always wanted to do, phone your friends, close your eyes and imagine the waves on the sea, make someone feel important, make a list of things you are good at, go to the library and listen to the silence, say to your friends you love them, look at the stars, think about what you have, breathe, finish what you started, make friends, grow and be responsible and try your best!

A WARM HUG TO ALL OF YOU!

QUASIMODO

Hi everyone! 

QUASImodo is a fictional character who can help us to remember the order of any question. 

He was the protagonist of the novel the Hunchback of Notre-Dame by Victor Hugo. He was born with a hunchback and feared by the townspeople as a sort of monster.

If you think about the first part of his name, you will never forget the structure of a question:

QUestion+Auxiliary+Subject + Infinitive (....)?

Look at these questions and check the structure in each question:

 Where do you live?

When do you start school?

What time do you wake up?

Why do birds sing?

How do you spell your name?

and...if you don't use a Question word, you have to follow ASI ;D

Auxiliary+Subject+Infitive...?    Yes/No.....

Do you cook?

Do you study English?

Do you like pasta?
