II year, THINK 2, Unit 11, p.104

Hello people!

Today we are on page 104, which brings us some grammar - reported statements. When it comes to reported speech, students mostly remember the tense change: aha, the one-tense-backwards rule! However, do remember that this applies only if the reporting verb is in the past, and also there are some other changes that you need to take care of. We change the pronouns as well, and we change the time expressions, demonstratives, adverbs of place. But, let's begin at the beginning 😊

The following is an excellent presentation on reported speech and I highly recommend it in case you need to refresh your knowledge on the subject, or if you maybe have any doubts about its rules, as in use and form:

https://www.slideshare.net/Lyra-chan/reported-speech-definitive

You can then go to page 104 in your books and fill in the blue RULE rectangle. After that:

TASK 1: Do exercises 1,2 and 3 from the grammar section.

The second section on this page refers to vocabulary - words and expressions in relation to fun, jokes, being funny. They are given in italics in the first exercise.

TASK 2: Do exercise 2 - match sentences 1-8 with a-h.

Make sure you know the meanings of the words and expressions, if not, look them up on the Internet, ask me, just have fun. And remember, fun is not the same as funny!

I'll be expecting your assignments till Sunday, 10th May, 23:59 pm.
Sending you love 💖💖💖

III YEAR, Think 3, UNIT 11, p. 102 & 103

Hello everyone!

I hope you had a great time for the holidays, and I know that now, with all the lovely weather outside, you continue hanging out with friends and enjoying long walks. However, please find time to do your homework as well, school is on for another month, let's not forget! 

In fact, we are on the beginning of a new unit - unit 11. The title is Help!, since it refers to dangerous situations, rescue services, first aid and so on. The photos on page 102 show several events during which rescue assistance and medical help were of great importance. One such event is described in the news report on page 103.

TASK 1

1. Read the report. Look up any unknown words online or feel free to ask me. Mark the sentences in exercise 5 true or false based on what you read.

2. In the TRAIN TO THINK section, do exercises 6 and 7.

TASK 2

1. In the SPEAKING section, think and give an answer to the third question: Do you know any other stories of ordinary people being heroes? You can use examples from your surroundings or look up stories on the Internet. 

The homework is due to Monday, 4th May, 23:59 pm. 

II YEAR, Think 2, UNIT 11, p. 102 & 103

Hello everyone! 

I hope you had wonderful family and friends time for the holidays! And I know you have slightly longer time during the day to hang out and enjoy the spring weather, but that doesn't mean that you should forget about school, at least for one more month! So, listen up: we begin a new unit today, that is unit 11. 

As you can read, its title is Making the news. We are going to deal with news reports and reporting in general. (yes, reported speech on its way :) But, today let's look at pages 102 and 103 in our book. Before we read the text, the first couple of exercises refer to one rather specific profession - a (news) journalist. Think and quickly answer 

TASK 1:

1. Which qualities do you need to be a news journalist? (use the options given in exercise 1, but feel free to add your own)

2. Would you like to be a journalist? Explain why or why not. (Exercise 3)

Next read the article. The text begins on p.102, but continues on the next page, so I give you that one as well

It's an article about the tradition of journalists playing jokes on people on April Fool's Day. We were supposed to be in school on the 1st April and discuss this then. Unfortunately, due to the situation, April Fool's has long passed; on the other hand, many people play jokes not only on this day 😅 

The tradition of pulling someone's leg (do you know this idiom?), especially in the press, in the so-called onion news, is long and fruitful in the English-speaking countries. This also happens in the regular media, however, limited to 1st April only. The article follows some of these pranks through the years.

TASK 2

1. Match the people's statements in exercise 6 to the stories from the text.

2. Look at the THINK VALUES section on page 103, exercise 3. Choose 1 or 2, think about the concept and give your view on it.

This homework is due to Monday, 4th May, 23:59 pm. 

III year, THINK 3, Unit 10, p.98 & 99

Hello everyone! 

Slowly, yet surely we are closing up on unit 10. This time I give you two pages. Page 98 gives the introduction to the photostory we have for today - Strapped for cash. If you don't know the meaning of this expression, better look it up! Read the text so that you get the idea about what is going on...

Then on the next page, exercise 4 says you should watch and find out how the story ends. So, let's do it!

Now you are ready for the task on page 99 and in connection to the photostory.

TASK 1:

1. Give the ending of the story by matching 1-7 with a-g in exercise 5.

2. In the Phrases for fluency part, complete the conversations with expressions from the photostory.

3. Do the two exercises in the WordWise section, concerning phrases with by.

That's it! Your homework is due to 25th April, 23:59 pm.
