Hello

We had a kind of a small delay in our blog. Yeah, exams, summer´s coming and we´re simply becoming lazy. Don´t give up!

So, we started a new topic "Entertainment". We talked about television and learnt many new words (soap opera, news report, weather forecast, sitcom, chat show, reality show, quiz show etc.).


We were also talking about your preferences while talking about television. We learnt some useful expressions for it - likes and dislikes:
likes: I really like.../I´m keen on.../I love.../I´m really into ... / I´m fond of .../ I´m crazy about ..etc.
dislikes: I don´t really like .../I hate.../ I don´t mind .../ I can´t stand ... etc.

Is television good or bad? Listen to some people talking about it and do the online tasks, pay attention to some adjectives to describe the programmes (violent, educational, interesting, boring, entertaining ect.): Listening Link "Is TV good or bad for people?"

Do you enjoy watching horror movies? Listen to the audio and do the tasks - Listening Link.

We also learnt some new expressions to make suggestions and to respond to them:
Why don´t we + go to the cinema (Inf.) - That´s a good idea!
Let´s + go to the cinema (Inf.) - Sure. Why not?
We could + go to the cinema (Inf.) - You´re joking! No way!
I suggest we + go to the cinema (Inf.) - That sounds great!
How about + going ... (Gerund) - I´d rather say no.
Fancy + going ... (Gerund) etc. - I´d love to, but ...


We were practising making suggestions in different situations!
Watch a short video "Making suggestions" and write down what the boys suggest each other. What happened in the end?

Your homework is to revise the expressions and do the exercises in your copies.
