Dear Bloggers,
the deadline for completing your class blog activities is January 18th.
Regretfully, activities completed after that date will not be considered.
Please make sure to have at least 7 tasks finished.
In order to be able to evaluate your blog activity, I need to know who is behind the username, WHO YOU ACTUALLY ARE. Therefore, I have created a database in our Yahoo group where you can also self-evaluate your activity.
To do so, follow the steps:
1. Go to: http://www.groups.yahoo.com/group/EnglishDL
SIGN IN (if you are a member, if not, join the group)
2. Go to the DATABASE (left side menu), CONTACT LIST, and ADD RECORD. There you will see that you have to fill in your real name and your username on the blog, the number of tasks you have completed and your email address.
Let me know by email or by commenting on this post - if you have any problems,
Teacher

Travelling into the PAST - week starting November 9
This week is dedicated to the PAST.
For those of you who have problems with the irregular verbs, here is the place where you can repeat them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRsLLGnYhJ0&feature=related.
Then you can listen (top of the page) and at the same time read some news about: Woman dies in House Fire: http://www.rong-chang.com/qa2/stories/story053.htm . Then do the cloze, answer yes/no and wh-questions, even a dictation. Tell us your impression about this lesson and what you have learnt.
Your story: in about 50-100 words sum up a piece of news that you watched or listened to last week. Don't forget to check your past tense verbs(-ed, 2nd form for irregulars).
