Hi everyone,
Last week before Christmas, I'm looking forward to it!
Today we spent some time reading a text about Jesus and the Aubergines. It was an interesting story with some great visuals and quite a bit of emotion too.
It was a long text so condensing it into exactly 50 words seemed like a good idea, distilling it in way. There were some interesting outcomes, I'd love you to share them here if you have time.
We listened to some short podcasts too, 100 word stories to be precise. From this website. Have a listen to a few of them and if you're wondering about any phrases don't be afraid to ask here or by email. Podcasts are a good way to test your listening, and at 100 words or 1 minute long, these won't take up too much of your time!
We finished up with some colour idioms. I'm sure none of you are tickled pink by idioms in general but for those of you who don't see the world through rose-tinted glasses, it really is important to remember a few so that you don't get left red-faced when you don't know what someone is saying to you. And don't get too browned off with them, it's just a way to brighten up your speech and make sure you don't seem to be a redneck.
Don't forget, the writing homework.I haven't exactly given you carte blanche, I'd like a 100 word story please, try to relate it to Christmas and try to use some new vocabulary you've picked up recently. Thanks!
See you on Thursday,
Éadaoin
