Today was the last day of the week before a big suspension of classes, we will return to classes on Tuesday, today we did an activity where we have to ask a question to five of our classmates and then make a text that question that I asked my classmates was what. Do you feel if your computer breaks down and you lose all your morning work and they answered me the following 1. Belén: I really feel stressed and you lose all your morning work. 💻 2. Lalo: I feel really stressed but I find a solution to the problem. ⌨️ 3. Yoana: She gets stressed for a moment. 😬 4. Yessi: I feel stressed. Sometimes she cries.😭 5. Kari: I feel stressed and angry. I try to stay relaxed.😡😌 With that we have to do as homework a text that the different groupings had, as we have seen in our goal class, which are "all of them, most of them, Lost of Them, some of them, none of them" In the following survey, I asked my classmates what they would do if their computer crashed. Both of them...

  Expressions of Quantity Today in META class👩🏻‍🏫, we did an activity where we had to put words that matched each box. One example was the verb take, which was combined with a break, a look, a shower, and others. We did the same with more words. Something new that I learned today was the difference between appointment and date. Appointment is used in a formal context👨🏻‍💼👩🏻‍💼🫱🏻‍🫲🏼, while date is used in a romantic context❤️, for example, when you want someone to be your boyfriend👩🏻‍❤️‍💋‍👨🏻, using these words, we created four questions by ourselves. In my case, Ronaldo 💁🏻‍♂️checked my work and I only had two corrections. He also wrote a small comment😃✍🏻, which made me feel good because it means that I did my work well. Finally, we reviewed a topic about how to say all, both, most, some, and none. Teacher Dalila left us homework 📝to study these for tomorrow so we can review the topic more in depth.☺️

  Airport 🛩️process and the use of “THE” 🫵🏻 Today we continued learning about the airport process in order to travel 🛩️, and it became much clearer for me. We also reviewed the use of “THE” 🫵🏻, and I understood it better as well. After that, we did an activity that consisted of writing the airport process using “THE” 🪪🧳✈️. For homework, the teacher asked us to write about an experience we have had on public transportation. 😬🛣️🚌 Recently, I had a problem while traveling by combi to the CCU. 🏫  It happened at the end of November during the Christmas tree lighting. 🎄  I was with a friend, and we were sitting near the door. 🚌 , the girl in front of us was robbed, and the situation became tense. 🙅🏻‍♀️📲  I felt the fear, but when we arrived at the CCU, everything improved. 😖☺️

  ZERO Article vs THE Today class was very interesting for me, but at the beginning I found it very complicated😬 because I hadn’t studied anything related to transportation 🛫🚗🚎 or vacations 🧳before. However, when teacher Dalila explained the topic 👩🏻‍🏫 I understood it very well. I understood it even better when we did activities in pairs. Another topic that I hadn’t seen in previous courses was “ZERO Article vs THE” 🚫🫵🏻 This topic explains that “THE” 🫵🏻 is used to describe oceans and seas, rivers, mountain ranges, deserts, countries with words like republic or states, and geographical areas. On the other hand, the “ZERO” 🚫 article is used when nothing is placed before nouns, such as continents, countries, states, cities and towns, street names, lakes, and a single mountain. In conclusion, today I learned a lot. 🩵☺️

 In today’s class, we had a great time to start the class, we played an “impostor” game which helped us review and remember how the simple past and past continuous are structured then, we watched some slides about the differences between the simple past and the past continuous, and everything became very clear to me the topic helped me remember some important points that I had forgotten. Finally, we did an activity where we had to say the names of the animals we heard in an audio that teacher Dalila played for us. 👩🏻‍🏫🤗

  Today we did an activity in which we had to write three names of animals that we knew At the end of the activity, it showed us which animal we knew the most. It was fun because most people repeated lion and dog. I also learned the name of an animal that I had never heard before the “kiwi” which is a kind of bird.

 Today we did a very relaxed activity, but we worked in pairs. I was paired with a classmate I had never worked with before. This type of activity is very dynamic because it allows us to get to know new classmates we had not talked to before, even though we are in the same classroom. 🧍🏻‍♀️🧍🏻‍♀️ Another topic we reviewed with teacher Dalila, which I didn’t know before, is that –ING is used to talk about activities or actions in progress. I thought it was only used for actions. 🏊‍♀️🎹 Later, the teacher Dalila intern helped us answer our activity book. 📚📝

Today, to start our META II class, we did an activity that consisted of answering some questions about emotions. 😃😞😡🤔  Then we did a very nice activity because we wrote our name on a sheet of paper and passed it around to our classmates, and they wrote compliments about us. They wrote very nice things about me that made me feel really good. After that, we continued with activities from the book 📚✍🏻

 Today we reviewed the simple present and the present continuous so that everything becomes clearer and we avoid making mistakes in the future. 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️👍🏼 We also did an activity about emotions where several of my classmates went to the front and drew an emotion, and we had to guess which one it was. 😁☹️😡😕 Finally, a classmate explained more or less how to write an email and gave us some phrases on how to start and end it. 📩✍️

 Today we did an activity in which it did not help much to remember the way verbs are written in gerund and infinitive. What helped me a lot because it was to give a review to make it clearer for me. ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️

Today our META class was canceled because we took the Pearson exam, which is the digital platform we used in our META class. I felt that the exam was difficult, and I realized that I need to work a lot on my listening and speaking skills because they are the ones I struggle with the most. 😬🥲
