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.

New Correspondants : When English becomes a tool to speak to the whole world !

The 3rd form Miller have received their first mail from the USA and some pupils of this class have also sent letters to Ireland.

The 4th forms have sent letters to Finland and to Italy and we're are waiting for the address of our third correspond in Spain certainly to send the last letters.

The 5th forms are still co-writing stories of the forest with  pupils from Croatia.

We're quite international in Lardy, aren't we?
