We talked a lot today about how to study and what to put in our notebooks. The whiteboard I've put up today shows you an example of noting common mistakes with a word, making verb-noun combinations, drawing pictures to help you remember differences, and of course, making your own, personal examples. Remember, my examples are good for me, they help me remember, they might not help you. You should make your own examples and try to make them personal so that you have a better chance of remembering them.After the break we had a discussion on your media consumption habits and then we read some articles about the lives of a theatre critic and a sports journalist and listened to stories of the lives of a restaurant critic and a war reporter.
Finally, we saw some uses of 'as' in English, a preposition that causes its fair share of problems. Remember that 'as' can mean many things and you should make examples for yourself showing each meaning clearly - if the examples apply to what you say on a day-to-day basis even better! If you want to practise try THIS EXERCISE!
That's what I remember from today, how about you? What was your big take-home point today? What do you really want to learn from all today's information? What was your favourite word or phrase? Let us know in the comments!
