Hi there¡

Yesterday we continued learning about jobs. But at the beginnning of the lesson students had to say their email address. Now they know how to tell their address and their email address.

Address: 5 Alamo Street, Colorado Springs.

Email address: jenniferbr@gmail.com

But in English to say @ we use the word at, and to say . we use the word dot.  

They also answered the question What did you have for lunch today?  Students are already used to this question. Remember we answered in the past simple: I had chicken and fries.

After correcting the homework we reviewed the names of many jobs, we saw a video called What does a doctor do? and then the teacher said something about a job and students had to say what job she was talking about. Here are the sentences.

He/she flies a plane

He/she  cook meals.

He/she serves meals on tables.

He/she designs buildings.

He/she makes furniture.

He/she catches fish.

He/she sells things.

He puts out fires.

He/she repair cars.

He/She makes people better.

He makes wall and ceilings of houses.

He/she drives children to school.

He cuts men´s hair and shaves men´s beards.

He/she protects people and buildings.

He/she tells the news to the public on radio or TV.

We were reading about the qualities and skills people need to do a certain job. Some of the adjectives used were strong, brave, friendly, helpful, quick, careful, patient, gentle.

When we talked about skills we say things like I can balance very easily, I can use a computer, I can cook very well, I can understand how animals feel, I can draw plans for houses, I can explain things very well, etc.

Finally we played a very exciting board game. Students practiced the Pr. Simple and the Pr. Continuous. Nobody wan the game because they kept trading places.
