Well done everybody

It's all over, and it just remains to say:

I'm very proud of all of you!

Best of luck to you all

 Hi Everybody....it's nearly all over!

You could just go over the last few blog entries to practise each part of the exam, ...practise with your 'chuleta'...watch some telly in English...

Here's one more picture to describe. Don't forget to use prepositions...through (the window) on the right, under, on...look up any vocabulary you don't know and learn it.

Why is she looking out of the window? What is she thinking? Use could, maybe, perhaps...

Don't forget to RELAX, AND CHILL OUT BEFORE YOU GO TO BED!

So....

Ket and pet

Hi, year six.

I noticed that some of you need to brush up on (revise) your prepositions a bit, so I've found you some games.

prepositions of place games


another prepositions of place game

occupations game

another occupations game

Also, If you get a question in the present perfect in part one of your exam, you might start off speaking in the present perfect but have to change to the past simple to give more details....so here's sa game to practise with:

present perfect explanation and game

Which reminds me - revise your list of irregular verbs!!


Pet people (and ket too, feel free!) here are some more pictures to describe....use as many prepositions as possible, and don't forget to use modals...might, could, may

Was that activity fun or funny,  bored or boring ???????

Bye for now my dears.

Pet pictures. Practising conditionals, maybe, perhaps

We are not using conditionals enough in our descriptions, ans nor are we saying what we think of the pictures..(this could be a very good thing to do if you are running out of things to say! So let's practice.Here are some more pictures to describe.

1)Use all of these words when you are describing them:

could            might           may        perhaps         maybe    

The girl and the dog may be thinking about how to reach the biscuit jar.

2) When you have finished, say what your opinion is of the picture and why...

Check any vocabulary you don't know and learn it.

Pet speaking part 2

Hi year 6 students, it's me again.

Part two lasts from two to three minutes. In part two you need to discuss alternatives and come to a decision. Discuss each option together, but not for too long and come to a decision. If you have time at the end, you can go back and talk about the options in more detail. The examiner will repeat the situation to you twice before asking you to start speaking.

Use conditionals:

I think he/she/they could
In my opinion he/she /they should

other useful language:

Practice with these situations. If you haven't got anyone to practice with, imagine you are two people and have a conversation with yourself! Time yourself - you can have between two and three minutes. If you haven't come to a decision before the end of two minutes you need to start coming to one. Before you start, check you know all the vocabulary, and if you don't, look it up in a dictionary and learn it.  don't forget to use some conditionals.
