Wednesday Recap

Guest post by our classmate Evis Mercado - Thanks Evis - Liam.

Hi guys!

Finally after a few days we have an update! Maybe the bad weather over the past few days didn't let us write  =)

For me today's class was funny as I enjoyed laughing about me and my clasmates..

Today we spoke a bit about graphology and we tried to guess our classmates' personalities by analyzing their signatures, that was quite funny as I was quite arrogant based on my signature!! My classmate turned out to be quite vain!! In the end it wasn't real, after we read the article we found better things to say!! Thank God I'm not using my handwriting here haha. It was a nice way to remember personality adjectives and practice them.

Another funny thing that we did was try to pronounce the symbols of phonetics to understand the pronunciation of some words as you can see in the picture..

So we have unvoiced sounds where you don't feel the vibration and voiced sounds where do you feel it, but I felt it in both!! haha.. No, but in the end I noticed the difference; it was to understand the rule, when you have verbs in past ending in unvoiced their pronunciation is /t/ for example depressed.. and for for verbs ending in voiced is /d/ for example bored. In other cases (verbs ending in t or d) the pronunciation is /id/ for example disappointed. A bit sad those three example aren't they? Now you have to find three optimistic ones!!

The last thing that we saw was comparatives "the comparative . . . the comparative"

Personally I like "the more you practice your English; the better you will get"

So, do you know what the best way to learn English is?
