Comparison of Adjectives (Elementary)

Hi classmates!

Let's learn today about how to make comparisons between things and people! It's nice and sometimes funny!

You can click HERE to see the grammar explanation. Then you can use your knowledge for writing and speaking sentences comparing some things. Please give reasons for your answers! Let's use the phrase "I like..." and "I don't like...". For example:

• TV Programmes: "I like 'The Simpsons' because it's funnier than 'Friends'.

Now is your turn! What about...

• Newspapers


• Film stars


• Books


• Types of food


• Music

See you in the next class!

HOMEWORK: Simple Present - Daily Routines.

Hello classmates!

Look at the pictures and write questions & answers about daily routines. Use the adverbs of frequency. Here's an example:

At what time does he wake up? He always wakes up at half past six.

Now it's your turn! Go ahead!

Adverbs of Frequency

Hi everybody!

We are studying the Simple Present so I think it's the best time to learn that Adverbs of Frequency say how often an activity happens. We can use one word or a phrase.

Examples:

• always


• never


• frequently/often


• usually


• seldom/rarely


• hardly ever


• nowadays


• every week/month/year


• sometimes/occasionally


• from time to time

Here are a few examples of how to use them in sentences:

• I never get up early on Sundays.


• My parents always travel in December.

The adverb of frequency comes after the verb to be: "I'm never late."

The adverb of frequency comes before a main verb: "He sometimes goes clubbing on Saturdays."

IMPORTANT: Use the affirmative with never and hardly ever, not the negative! - "He hardly ever stays in bed late."

GRAMMAR: Simple Present.

Well, the list about people and places is very long... HERE you have one. Click and take a look!

Weather for Ducks!...

Hi everybody!

Lá vamos nós outra vez! Chuuuvaaa! "Good weather for ducks!" Pois é, mas dos males o menor - pior seria um temporal como aconteceu esta madrugada em Gramado e Canela, no Rio Grande do Sul! Ai, meu Deus. Essas mudanças climáticas são "really quite scary stuff!" Quer ler um pouquinho mais?! Então aproveite e descubra o site super legal da revista SPEAK UP, onde além de textos atualíssimos você poderá treinar seu ouvido com os arquivos MP3. AQUI está o link para uma das matérias que, a propósito, trata exatamente do tema "weather".

Boa leitura, e bom lestening!

See you soon!

Mudança de Endereço.

Dear classmates,

Por motivos "alheios" a minha vontade, "Our English Classroom" precisou mudar de endereço.

Mas as aulas de inglês continuarão, com a ajuda de Deus e a sua colaboração também!

Caso você não possa vir até a minha casa para continuar suas aulas, pense na possibilidade de fazer aulas via MSN ou SKIPE. Esse método já é utilizado nas grandes Capitais onde as pessoas tem muito mais dificuldades do que nós para se deslocarem de um bairro até outro; além disso, já que a internet nos traz tantos benefícios (desde que saibamos utilizá-los...), por que não fazer uso dessa ferramenta?!

Estou esperando sua visita ou seu contato. Meu e-mail continua o mesmo, meu celular também; meu endereço, para aqueles que ainda não conhecem é o seguinte:

Rua Miguel Gorniack, 221 - Bairro Cascatas

(no sentido centro-bairro, é a última rua à direita antes do Mercado Vier).

Um abraço e até breve!

P.S. - Gostou no meu novo "avatar"?! Rsrsrs! Achei minha carinha!!!
