SATURDAY 11 NOVEMBER 2017

We started with a general knowledge quiz.

see Unit 29 of this book

https://www.slideshare.net/beathetrix/236901188-rewardelementaryresourcebook


All the questions use comparatives and superlatives.

Today we learnt vocabulary for talking about films.

Watching films is a great way of learning more informal English, that can include -

- contractions e.g. I'm, I'd

- phrasal verbs - get on, get off

- abbreviations - CDs,  ATM, ASAP

- informal phrases - catch you later!

- incomplete sentences - got the time?

For more examples of informal language, go to English Club

https://www.englishclub.com/vocabulary/contractions-informal.htm

In the above list, perhaps the most difficult are the phrasal verbs. These are verbs composed of one verbs and one preposition that can have literal or figurative meanings. It is impossible to learn them all, but you can start to understand them better by considering verbs that you can make matching a common verb with different prepositions

Or by thinking of verbs to use in common situations

This is a great book for learning phrasal verbs
