Then raise your hand and the teacher will give you two handouts. Answer the questions on the first handout and then do the crossword puzzle using the vocabulary words you have learned.
Next, here is a link to a great website that will help you with your English. It has many possibilities for you to practice. You will need earphones for this exercise (remember, take the earphones with the same number as your book, NOT the number for your lap top.)
Look at some of the options here, then scroll down and click on the word “Pronunciation”.
When you have finished that, if you have email, send me an email. Just say “Hi Teacher” (or anything you want to say). I will put my new email address on the board.
Then we will put the computers away.
