B1A -weekly summary

Here's this week's summary of some of the main points we looked at in class:

- past perfect simple

- past perfect continuous

- how to use your dictionary to help you with the pronunciation of difficult words (a brief introduction to phonetics)

- conjunctions

We looked at some of the common errors which came up in your written summaries of 'The Landlady'. There were generally a lot of common errors, even with simple things like the -s ending of the 3rd person singular, present simple. Don't panic about all the red pen - but do please act - take note of your errors, learn from them. Try not to make the same mistakes in future. Write more! And don't forget that when you finish your written work it's always good to read it through to check for mistakes. Read more too, that also helps your writing. Improvement doesn't happen with the help of magic - it happens with the help of effort.

Please remember that I'm ever so happy to see your written work - the more you practise, the better!

For next Thursday's lesson please try to finish reading the next short story from 'Tales of the Unexpected' as I mentioned in class.

Have a good weekend!
