Hello everyone,

Today, we started with suppositions about Oliver's punishment.

Then, we discovered what would actually happen.

Here is the lesson :

Thursday, December 18^th

(the eighteenth) 

The bad challenge led to Oliver’s punishment.

( = lead) 

We supposed that Oliver would run away.

Actually, the director takes a stricter/harder decision.

He decided that Oliver will be hanged.

Finally, we used a document to describe situations in Oliver Twist's sequel :

Example n°2 : 

The boy was stealing the handkerchief when the shopkeeper called the police.

              -> prétérit be + V-ing                                       -> prétérit simple -ED

HOMEWORK : finish the document + revise the lesson

Hello everyone,

Today, we prepared Christmas by watching a funny video.

Then, we studied this video and we wrote a lesson about it :

Thursday, December 18th

(the eighteenth)

VIDEO : an advert about Christmas

The dwarf is the first to climb down the rope.

It’s Father Christmas who is roasting the turkey.

The dwarf is right-handed.

A fairy has changed the date and time on the clock and a tin soldier has switched on the music.

They all want to celebrate Christmas early.

I gave you three documents. They are useful to study Christmas vocabulary and traditions.

HOMEWORK for next year !
