Man: What do they teach them in schools nowadays? Woman: All right, all right, calm down. Admittedly, some people today don’t seem to be able to do maths in their heads … 2. Make phrases with a similar meaning to the phrase above by completing them with a word from the box There’s something in what you’re saying. I suppose / guess you’re right. I take your point. You may be right. It may well be true that …

qualifications are the key to success in life. B: Prepare some arguments for this topic: "The best education is what you get through experience. Estrella: I failed the last exam, but I didn't know how to feel. Adam: Really? You have to worry about your grades to succeed in life.

Estrella: I don't think so, I think that the importance of grades gives a fundamental tool for signaling our knowledge and abilities, but it is not the only way that it can stay, since it is pure memory and students get anxiety and stress about grades. Adam: I think that the success of a person is not in the notes, they are in how one of them will apply what they have learned in daily life or in a job.

GRAMAR Examples: 1. Recycling helps people establish a link with the environment 2. My father, who is a engineer, likes to camping every weekend 3. The ureters are connected to the bladder, which is why the urine runs into it.

Which of the girls do you think is Marianne? Why? I think the first girl because her face is uncovered and she has a nostalgic look towards the horizon and reminds us that the author tells us that she is the most emotional and sensitive

Why do you think Marianne is sad? Her relationship with Willoughby has come to an end, but the extract does not reveal why.

Who do you think could be Willoughby? Willoughby was her admirer and next husband.

What activities remind her of him? Singing and playing the piano.

Experiencing strong emotions is like being hit, touched or hurt. -The parting from Willoughby hit Marianne really hard. ...means he had a hard blow to his heart -It pained Marianne’s family to see her suffering. ...means that it hurt the whole family emotionally -Marianne was touched by her family’s support. ...means they were either very empathic or moved by the reaction -Willoughby’s lack of communication hurt Marianne’s feelings. ...it means he had a hard blow to his heart for Mariane -When Willoughby didn’t want to see her anymore, it came as a huge blow.

...means that he had an emotionally hard time -She was overcome by grief. ... who could overcome it

Can you remember the last time you really laughed? What was the reason? I remember that the last time I really laughed was when we were with my friends in a meeting and we started to play who laughs first with water in their mouths and nobody put up with more than 10 seconds and we kept on laughing for quite a while.

Look at these proverbs and try to explain what they mean. Time spent laughing is time spent with the gods (Japanese). This means that when you are between laughs, it seems that all your problems disappear Much laughter, little wit (Portuguese) For laughter you should not think much Laugh and the world laughs with you; cry and cry alone (American) Laughter is contagious, crying leaves you alone People show their character by laughing (German) The character of someone laughing is better The teeth that laugh are also the ones that bite (West Africa) You may not always trust someone who laughs a lot because it may be something else He who laughs too much hides his pain (Italian) Much happiness always hides something

Writing a competition entry Writing Write the competition entry based on your discussion with your partner.

All singers are good; they work hard to further their careers. However, some singers are better; they try harder to make Peru stand out. In my opinion, Eva Ayllon is an excellent singer. She is a proud singer of the country where she was born, very dedicated and that is why I would like to nominate her for the Best Peruvian Singer Award.

I can honestly say that she is one of the best in Peru, she is always bringing out the name Peru, she always wants to excel in that. But more than that, she helps the world to know the beauty of Peru and also the best cultured of the Creole and Afro-Peruvian music, considered a great reference to other Peruvian artists.

In my opinion, perhaps her most important quality is helping the neediest and humility, she knows how to offer her knowledge to singers who are just starting out. The last point I would like to highlight is her patience and her desire to always learn something new, she is very loved by all of Peru for her beautiful way of being.

She is the best Peruvian singer I know and inspires other artists to be good, so I hope they choose her as the best singer in their competition.
