"La Isla Bonita"

Tuesday 27^th – 29^th May

This week we read about ‘Four dream holidays’

·          Would you like to visit Antarctica on this once-in-a-lifetime holiday in the snow and ice? Or would you prefer to leave it to scientists or explorers?

·          Would you prefer to go on a safari? Would you like to travel by helicopter, sleep in a luxury bed under the stars and travel in a hot-air balloon?

·          Would you like to go on a flight into space and orbit the earth in a spaceship?

·          Or would you prefer to live like Robinson Crusoe on a desert island forgetting the stress of the city life?

We use “would like to” or “would prefer to” when we hypothesize or imagine.

We played ‘Change your Holiday’

Luis and Laura are going to go to Belize. They’re going to stay there for a week. They’re going to fly. They’re going to sunbathe, relax in the pool, go to the beach and eat the typical food from the country.

BUT… they aren’t going to go to Belize! They’re going to go to Edinburgh!

They’re going to go by car. They’re going to take their car on the Channel Tunnel train. They’re going to visit the Highlands and they’re going to try to see the Loch Ness Monster! They’re going to drink Scotch and to visit distilleries.

I am going to Belize. So, where are Juan and Eugene going to go…?

They’re going to go to Rwanda! They’re going to stay for a month, in August. They’re going to get there by plane, by car and they are going to walk the last 15 Km. because the village is isolated. They’re going to help to build a new school and a water supply channel. They’re going to live in traditional huts.

Enjoy your holidays!!

We finished talking about holidays with music: ‘La Isla Bonita’ by Madonna. Would you like to listen to it again? Use this link

Then, we started the new topic: Food.

We started reading about traditional British food.

 We read about The English Breakfast, Pancakes, Roast beef and Yorkshire Pudding. And also about Haggis and Tea. We’ll continue next week.

Remember, have lunch before coming to class because we’re going to talk about food!

See you on Tuesday!!
