TUESDAY 5 JULY 2016

Reading can be an excellent way to learn new words and review grammar in a natural context. However reading a book in the original version can be difficult. There are books, by famous authors or biographies or non fiction books written in simplified English so that they are not to difficult to understand. one publisher is Macmillan.

Here you can read sample chapters from their books before you decide what you want to buy.


For example here is the first chapter of Frankenstein


You can but the book with a CD on amazon


Or you can sometimes find them online.


I have some books in pdf format. Ask me if you are interested.

We looked at the first page of Frankenstein to identify regular and irregular verb forms.

You can try some exercises on affirmative, negative and question forms in the past tense in the grammar book, Units 11 + 12.


Another way of talking about past is with used to.

You can read about it on Page 121 of PET Result.

Then there are some exercises (2+3) on used to on page 99.

We then discussed childhood memories.

You can use the past simple in the part  of the writing test.


You can find a writing exercise on Page 15 of this grammar book.


Do it for home work and bring it to the lesson next Monday.
