Hello

Today we´ve been pracising Past Continuous while talking about accidents:
Lyn cut her finger while she was chopping carrots.
Bill scalded his hand while he was cooking.

We read a dialogue and learnt some expressions to talk about accidents:

You look awful!
Are you alright?
What happened?
That must have really hurt!
You can say that again!
Oh, you poor thing!
And, as if that wasn´t enough ...

Also we learnt Reflexive pronouns:
myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves

We use RP when the object and subject are he same, with preposition "by" to say without help or to emphasise the subject:
She cut herself.
He painted the room by himself.
I made the cake myself.

Practise your grammar with these links:

Link 2

We also started talking about accidents and disasters. We learnt some new words:
blast, crash, oil slick, weedkiller, to collide, to perish, missing, I fear...

Your homework is to exercises in the copy and to read the text "The Great Plague".
