Hello!

Last week we reviewed all the units we have done so far.

Introducing yourself and somebody else:

Hello, my name is Mark, this is my friend Sue.

My name is Ben, nice to meet you.

Saying your surname, spelling it, saying how old you are,  telling your adress.

We studied how to ask about somebody's job and how to answer:

What do you do? or what's your job?

I am a journalist.

Using the 3rd person: he is a journalist.

Using the plural (without the article): they are journalists.

Asking questions with the verb to be: Is he a journalist? Are you a journalist?


We were practicing the vowel sounds /i:/ and /I/, long sound and short sound. Here is a link where you can listen to these sounds. http://usefulenglish.ru/phonetics/listening-for-vowels Listen to the first 2 sounds.

In the new unit we started after the review we are studying this and these: 
this is my friend, 
this is a pencil, 
these are pencils. 
See that we don't use an article with the plural form?

We learned a few adjectives: old new, long, short, big, small. Adjectives in English do not take a plural and are used before the noun: Ex: These are long rulers. This is a long ruler.

HOMEWORK
1/ Write 10 sentences using this and these, an adjective and the appropriate form of the verb to be. Ex: This is an old book.

2. Make 10 questions. Remember the order of words: verb + subject + XXXX? Unless you have to use a question word like who, what, where.

Examples:
Is the pencil on the table?

Who is this man?

Are the notebooks new?

Where are the big scissors?
