Family and Friends
04/10/2010 a 5:10 pm (ANGLÉS PRÀCTIC)
This is the first post for my “Anglés Pràctic” students this year. Thank you for joining the group and welcome to this course. I know you have studied English for many years but I see you feel embarrassed when you speak in English, or you have trouble understanding and communicating with native speakers. Let’s start working on that! After having worked on the unit “Family and friends” I wanted you to revise the new idiomatic expressions and phrasal verbs studied, so I prepared this presentation. Have a look! The unit test will be on Wednesday 6th, good luck!
Mr. Bean goes shopping

I used this video to introduce the use of some modal verbs such as “must ” for obligation, “mustn’t” for prohibition, and “should/shouldn’t” for giving advice. It was also very useful to revise “shopping vocabulary”. First we all enjoyed watching it and then, I told them to work in groups of 4/5 people. Each group had to discuss and work on one of these assignaments:
1-Rules: imagine you are the owner of the shopping centre. Make a list of rules all customers have to follow. Use “must”.
2-Prohibition: now, after watching Mr. Bean while shopping, you have to write a sign saying what must be forbidden. Use: mustn’t.
3-Giving advice: imagine you are a mother/father, your son/daughter is going shopping to “La Marina shopping centre”. You have to give your children some shopping advice before going shopping. Use: “should/shouldn’t”.
4-Dialogue: Mr. Bean has finally decided to buy something and to speak. Write a shopping dialogue between Mr. Bean and a shopping assistant with any item that has appeared in the video.

An English Breakfast
03/11/2009 a 10:24 pm (ANGLÉS PRÀCTIC)
British people have three main meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner (sometimes called “supper”). On Sundays the main meal of the day is often eaten at midday instead of in the evening. This meal usually is a Roast Dinner consisting of a roast meat, yorkshire pudding and two or three kinds of vegetables.
Nowadays, a typical English breakfast is a bowl of cereals, a slice of toast, orange juice and a cup of coffee, although most people around the world seem to think that a typical English breakfast consists of eggs, bacon, sausages, fried bread, mushrooms and baked beans all washed down with a cup of coffee.The traditional English breakfast consists of eggs, bacon, sausages, fried bread, baked beans and mushrooms. Even though not many people will eat this for breakfast today, it is always served in hotels and guest houses around Britain.
