ADVANCED: UNIT 7


Hi everyone,
The following post is also for ADVANCED students, we are going to start a very interesting unit, where we will see vocabulary and other aspects related to science and technology. UNIT 7 in OUTCOMES
Well, one of the speaking points in this unit will be practicing the expression of surprise and disbelief. We will see some structures and sentences in English to transmit these two notions, but here in the links I post below, you will find some more structures and some interesting idioms. Please have a look. I hope you like it.

PERFECT TENSES

Hi all,
This is a post for my NA1 Students. We have already finished the unit on sports, entertainment and hobbies. The last grammar point in the copies I gave you from Outcomes (Upper Intermediate) is the difference between present perfect simple and continuous. The differences between them are very subtle, and often it depends on what you want to emphasise to decide what tense you are choosing...

Well I propose that you take a look at the link below...please read the information and do one or two exercises...;-)Enjoy!

PRESENT PERFECT SIMPLE AND CONTINUOUS

For those who love Cooking

Hi everyone,
Recently I decided that I want to learn how to cook properly, and to that end, I constantly use the Internet to find recipes and new methods. Thanks to that, I discovered this wonderful woman's website:

TITLIS BUSY KITCHEN

Take a look if you want, and also check her site in You Tube, she has lots of great recipes from all over the world. She makes cooking seem incredibly simple, and she is terrific, soooo so funny, and incredibly good at explaining how to cook things :-)

Here is a sample video on how to cook Chicken Dhansak. Enjoy!



Titli, thanks a lot!!!!!!!!
