Unit 1 Making Connections

This was my first class of English course. This time I learned the meaning of some words like: acquaintance, jealous and juggle. The first activity was a simple discussion about some pictures that describe different kinds of relations that people have. We needed to use phrases like: "feel on the same wavelength", "have a lot in common", "see eye to eye" and "just clicked". At the same time we discussed the meaning of these phrases. Also we had opportunity to refresh our knowledge related with the use of the pronoun any/every/no/some. Only to make a little resume about this: any and every, can both used to talk in general about all the members of a group. Use any for amounts in negative sentence.

Later I could see different rules to use tags questions in the correct way, some rules are:

·         The tag question for I am, is aren’t I.

·         After nothing as a subject, use it.

·         After negative words use a positive tag questions.

Other topic that we saw during the class were the Modals of Speculation, I learned how to use this, because before that day I didn't know how this are used. Now I know that I can use must to express a certain believe, or when something it's not possible I need to use cant, these are only some rules.

At the end we expressed different opinions of topics related with the children and her parents, the objective of this activity was the use of phrases like: "That's probably true" or "I couldn't agree more" to express agreement.

To express disagreement we use phrases like: "I totally disagree", "I'm not sure if i agree with that"
