WRITING

1.    Use the verbs from Grammar activity 1 to write a paragraph (eight lines) about one of your classes that you enjoyed the most.

Eg.: Last month I had a very good time with my students. I planned a lesson about .... I explained the grammar and asked students to practice. Then, students played a game...

Last month I had a good time with my students because I planned very good activities to do with them. When I first met them, my students weren´t used to English as a foreign language, because according them studying English was never interesting and also a repetitious approach. After having  know their difficulties, I prepared recreational activities like: the students cut out pictures from magazines, played games in computer lab, sing songs, red some sentences, painted some pictures. I asked students if they listened their audio CD and did their homework activities by themselves. I made use of my free time to read some sentences done by them.

JORNAL WRITING 2

I am starting a new time in my English learning process. Last month I initiated some studies on the literature of English Language. I had no idea about English Literature, because to me so far, that literature, consisted exclusively in the work of the William Shakespeare, because all the works of English Literature that I know at the moment are of his own.

Therefore, I have been studied other authors, one in special, Adeline Virginia Woolf (25 January 1882 – 28 March 1941). She was an English author, essayist, publisher, and writer of short stories, regarded as one of the foremost modernist literarily figures on the twentieth century.

I had difficulties in choose a theme, because I had many options. This recent choose happened because I watched a movie called “the hours” and liked so much the last scene from the film in which the principal character commits suicide while reading a farewell note to her husband left. Since suicide and death a constant theme in English literature, I chose to discuss it in my article, which has taken my time of study.

I really liked to present his dynamic writers of English literature and did the same with my students in Brazilian literature, it was a success, thanks for the tip!
