WHAT WE WILL LEARN THIS WEEK: On Day 1 of Week 7, we will catch up from last week, and then move to our next lesson, Unit 9 (Last Weekend).  We will start practicing for the Speaking Assessment and share the three photos of our favorite places in our community or neighborhood.

HOMEWORK due Monday, May 11th
(This assignment is for the Speaking Assessment Part 2)
  1. Talk about 3 favorite places in your community that you always visit.  Using your cellphone, think about three (3) community places around your neighborhood.  (Irene will show you an example)

 

You will talk about these cellphone photos with a tester/teacher.  Here  are some of the important things you need to talk about during your Assessment:

  • What is the name of the place?  Where is its location?
  • Describe the place. Use “there is” and/or “there are” to talk about 3 objects in each photo
  • Use some prepositions of location (in, on, next to, in front of, in the corner of, behind)
  • How often do you go?
  • Would you recommend that other students visit this place? Why?

Listening to Music for fun:

Doesn’t take much to make me happy
And make me smile with glee
Never, never will I feel discouraged
‘Cause our love’s no mystery

Demonstrating love and affection
That you give so openly, yeah
I like the way it makes me feel about you, baby
Want the whole wide world to see

Whoa whoa, you got the best of my love
Whoa whoa, you got the best of my love
Whoa whoa, you got the best of my love
Whoa whoa, you’ve got the best of my love

Going in and out of changes
The kind that come around each day
My life has a better meaning
Love has kissed me in a beautiful way
oooh yeah, my love, my love
oooh, oooh yeah, my love, my love
Ooh, oh oh oh oh oh

Oh, you’ve got the best of my love
Whoa whoa, you’ve got the best of my love
Whoa whoa, you’ve got the best of my love
Whoa whoa, you’ve got the best of my love

Demonstrating sweet love and affection
That you give so openly, yeah
The way I feel about ya, baby can’t explain it
Want the whole wide world to see

Oh, but in my heart, you’re all I need
You for me, me for you
Oh, it’s growin’ every day, ooh

Oh, oh oh oh oh oh
You’ve got the best of my love
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh
You’ve got the best of my love

Oh, givin’ you the best of my love
my love, my love, my love
Oh, givin’ you the best of my love
my love, my love, my love
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh
You’ve got the best of my love

Oh, oh oh oh oh oh
You’ve got the best of my love
Oh, givin’ you the best of my love
