The 4th formers are learning about volcanos, aren't they? Here are some fresh news for them.

Massive volcano erupts in Democratic Republic of Congo

A volcanic eruption in Central Africa could be the biggest in 100 years.

Experts say the Nyamulagira volcano in the Democratic Republic of Congo has been shooting lava 400m into the sky.

That's lava shooting up even higher than New York's Empire State Building!

So far there's no danger to the people living in the nearby town of Goma.

Park rangers have even set up a camp so tourists can enjoy the fireworks from a safe distance!

Kenny the specialist will have heard about it. I'm waiting for his comments and for  others.

After reading about Garfield, here are another cat's adventures.

Do you know this cat's name?

Can you tell me his story?

Have you hear about the new film he stars in?

To get more information about it go there

You may recognize some of the nursery songs they mention.

Now why don't you watch the trailer in English.

Talk about your family

A good site to practise with the Simpsons.

Then you can tell me about your family.

For the 4th forms don't forget to tell me what they do and like.
Practice the last lesson and write what you'd like them do to and what they want you to do.

By the way, question for the champions how does Holmer say "oh! Pinaise!" in english ?

Use and understand the past simple.

After talking about your holiday get used to use the preterit or past simple more and speak about your past.

Prepare your oral presentation :

1 look at the article of 30th August 2010

2 Practice the pronounciation of "ed" for the regular verbs here

3 Practice listening and learning irregular verbs

4 How about listening to this easy converstion about a week end here



Try to find what the person did and think about it and then train to answer when people tell you  what they did.  
You've got the script here if it's too difficult at first but then do it again without reading.

5 On this podcast a little girl is talking about her day at school, to listen click here.

Do this exercise after, can you understand her?

Now tell me, did you have a good day? What did you do at school? what did you learn? ...

6 You could also try this very english game "snakes and ladders" and have fun and learn at the same time.


Now, Why don't you use the simple past and learn more about Davy Crockett at the same time.

Watch the trailer of  "The Alamo" on this link, read the story and do the game after.

Why don't you write about your hero now. Give me your work, I'll put it on this page.


conversation practise : showing interest

In your first oral interaction some of you had difficulties to really show their interest in the conversation.  The followowing recording will help you.

Train to ask questions when people tell you about something to show you're interested in what they're saying.

First listen to this. Try to understand it and if it's difficult read the script  there and listen again. Then train to ask questions as in the exemples on the recording.
