LISTENING:

a) Page 134, activity 5. Go to track 51 on your DVD-rom and listen to six short conversations about clothes and style. Match the conversations to the sentences.

b) After that, explain in your own words what these expressions that have been excerpted from the conversations mean:

1.    Good grief =

2.    Stuck out like a sore thumb=

3.    see you as a great asset =

4.    go a bit more easy on =

5.    she pulls it off =

6.    are really in =

7.    Don’t fuss =

          8.    I wish I could get away with having it (like that) = 

c) Think of an example of a situation (not an explanation) in which you would use the expressions in the listening activity b. In our next live meeting, you will explain them to the rest of your group orally.

d) Watch video clip number 36 in your DVD room. This is an example of what we did in our last live meeting on Jitsi. Two students talk about the physical appearance of people on magazines. Take any new vocabulary and structure that you find there.

GRAMMAR:

Go to page 182 in your textbook. There, in point number 15, they develop an explanation of five structures with prepositions:

1.    Verb + preposition

2.    Adjective + preposition

3.    Noun + preposition

4.    Prepositional phrases

5.    Prepositions which link two clauses

Read the theoretical information and do exercises 1, 2 and 3 on page 183.

I will give you all the answers for these activities in our next online session.

That’s all for now.

Take care,

Ángel
