Thursday week 35

A nice and smooth lesson. All students presented their artist and did well. Then we had a short speaking exercise from the textbook (p 15).

We also talked about formal language and the phrasal verbs and practised this in an exercise on p 16 in our textbooks. By the end of the lesson I handed and out about phrasal verbs and the students started their work on that. This will be continued next lesson.

Welcome

Welcome to the blog of the English C course at Soltorgsgymnasiet, Borlänge.

In this blog you will be able to read about our lessons, homework and assignments.
Last week was the first wek of this course and we started off with a presentation and a bit of planning. The first thing we talked about was the dufference between formal and informal language, which is important to know in order to know a language.

In order to practise the difference everybody was asked to write a letter in two ways, one formal and one informal, and hand it in next lesson.
