BASICO 2: UNIT TWO

This is a post for Básico 2 students.
We have already finished unit 2, and have started the third, the unit about work and professions. If you want, in this post you can find some links with extra work to revise some of the things we have learnt in UNIT 2, titled BEGINNINGS...

We have decided to read some short stories during Christmas and in January, so here is a link where you can find lots of short stories. But let me tell you I am preparing a list with plenty of links where you can find lots of online literature to continue reading at home...

EAST OF THE WEB

We have seen in class the verb tenses needed to narrate things that happened in the past (remember the nice crime stories you have written), so here is a link where you can practice with some of the most useful and common verb tenses, from Isabel pérez's website

THE HAPPY VERB GANG

Here is a link to a wonderful chart with connectors to link sentences (but this year we won't need all these, only a few ;-) )

LIST OF CONNECTORS

And another with the explanations to use them correctly:

ENGLISH AT HOME

And finally, I want to talk to you about a wonderful website where you can practice your listening, called ELLLO.ORG

In this website, it is possible to find listenings and videos where people talk about any topic you can imagine, and the good thing is that it is possible to look at the tapescript (read and listen to what they say at the same time.And you can also download the recordings as MP3s to your PCs!!! I LOVE THIS WEBSITE!
Some examples:

BECOMING A CHEF

DREAM JOB

HALLOWEEN: WHAT IS TRICK OR TREATING?

FIRST JOB (UNIT 3;-))

Hope you enjoy!!!
