This week we've been looking at

- 'to be used to VERBing', 'to get used to VERBing' and 'used to VERB' - in Murphy's grammar and applying these rules when speaking about some of the differences between your parents (when they were your age) and you - speaking about clothes, but also other aspects of their lifestyles.

- personal pronouns (subject & object)

- possessive adjectives

- possessive pronouns

- reflexive pronouns

- selected grammar exercises from past 1st year exams

- Roald Dahl short stories ('Dip in the Pool' and 'Man from the South')

We will be continuing to look at the short stories in class from time to time, but please start to read them independently too. If you have any questions to ask, or any summaries to hand in, that's great - I'm here!

To study in more depth at home:

units 47, 48, 52 &61 in English Vocabulary in Use
