Hello!

3 students were missing last Wednesday. I guess you were all sick. I was a bit sick myself so to make life easier for everybody we were doing fun activities. Students did learn something though as they did quite well when they had to define things using a relative clause.

We've done it before but I remind you. We use a relative clause to give information about a thing: we use which or that

A knife is something which we use to cut meat.

About a person or profession using who.

A doctor is a person who cures sick people.

About a place using where:

A cinema is a place where we watch films.

About a time using when:

The spring is the season when flowers grow.

HOMEWORK

Define the following words using a relative clause: (there are different possibilities, not everybody has to come up with the same definition).

An astronaut
A camera
A nurse
A road
A hotel
The Renaissance
Christmas
A dessert
A desert
A toothbrush

Hi!

Don't forget you still have do the homework from last week. It wasn't such a great deal.

Now, we are working a a new unit. This one is about T.V. So we have studied the names in English of the most usual types of programmes (UK spelling):

News, cartoons, talk shows, game shows, sitcoms, wildlife documentaries, nature programmes, soap operas, reality shows, and more.

We also studied some adjectives that we can use to describe or give our opinion about these programmes.

HOMEWORK

Choose 3 types of programme from above and give an example of each one of them. Then make a little summary of what that programme is about and use some of the adjectives we studied last Wednesday.

I usually watch a game show called Saber y Ganar. I find it entertaining and fun to watch because sometimes I know the answers to the questions. In this game show contestants have to answer questions about all kinds of subjects: history, geography, sports, music, literature, current affairs, etc.
