You have two assignments this week!

Don't worry!  I won't make you write anything down! :)

Your two assignments this week are only listening.

First, a song.  This song is called Somewhere Only We Know - Keane.  It's a romantic song, but what song isn't these days?

Some important vocabulary to read before you watch:
To know something like the back of your hand - is an idiom we use to say that you know something very well.  For example: I don't need a map for Boston, I know the city like the back of my hand.
Beneath - below
To Rely - to be able to trust in something or someone to do something.  The adjective is Reliable.  For example: My boss is very reliable, he always pays me on time, and I can rely on him to answer questions. This means I trust him to do it.
To come across - A phrasal verb meaning to find something by chance.

The other assignment is to try to watch a video clip.  This is from a British comedy called Miranda.  The woman, Miranda, is very socially awkward, (Awkward is another way to say socially strange), and always has funny situations!  Here, she goes to the Doctor about a problem with her breast (tit), and thought it was a woman doctor because of the name Gail!  Gail in English is a very common first name for a Woman, but in this case, it's his surname!  However, he's incredibly attractive.  Watch Miranda make a fool of herself!

See you Thursday! :)

Recap

Ok, for everyone who missed class (conso), here is a recap of what we did today.
Today we corrected all of the writing exercises from the last few weeks.  We did Chapter 23, relative clauses and the listening activity.  Your homework is to finish the reading book for Tuesday, and also to do grammar 1 and 2 for chapter 23 in the activity book.
Remember, the B1 practice exam that you took home is due on Thursday.  Do not forget to write your time at the top of the reading and writing section.  Please do not look at the listening section, because it will give you different results.  It's important that this exam is as real as possible.  No dictionaries!

I know you're all very tired of listening, especially 6 minute English.  Don't worry, this week we're not doing 6 minute English.  We're going to do something a bit more fun.

Recently, I have been in a bit of a lovey mood.  I have been feeling mushy.  (Mushy is an adjective we use to describe love when it's too sweet and too exaggerated).
So, accordingly, I have given you some assignments to do with love!

1.  Due Tuesday:

What does 'Unforgettable' mean?
What does the verb 'To cling' mean?  What do you think it means when someone is 'clingy' (adj.)?
Why is clingy a bad thing in a relationship?

Due Thursday:

Write down the expressions, and write 1 example with each expression.

And WRITING!!

Write your diary for a day when something very exciting happened to you.
Explain what happened, what you were doing at the time and why it was so
exciting.

See you Monday!
