VERB TO BE

dayanaolivo21 — 2023-09-30 07:20:21 UTC

COMMENT: The first week of the English course we started with the "verb to be" I had a hard time understanding it, despite the teacher made us participate and explain about the subject, but I did not understand it, so to reinforce myself and my classmates I made a ppt with examples distributed in affirmative, negative and interrogative, I also put an exercise that I searched the internet.

dayanaolivo21 — 2023-09-30 07:20:58 UTC

Use of a - an and this - these.

rosaandreacastillo2 — 2023-10-07 05:12:32 UTC

The correct knowledge of a - an and this - these helps us to know when to use them correctly. In order to form
well-made sentences or to formulate correct questions whether in singular or plural.

Possessive adjectives

rosaandreacastillo2 — 2023-10-07 05:26:47 UTC

Exercises:
-She is not my sister, she es my mother. - MY
-Your cat is trying to bite me! - YOUR
-She lives with her husband and her son. - HER
-His father is so funny. - HIS
-All our dogs are adopted. - OUR
-Their eyes are beautiful. - THEIR

Possessive adjectives in English are used to express who owns something or who owns this or that.

Comment:
The video and exercise helped me to better understand how to use the possessive adjective and differentiate each one so I can use it in sentences or create my own.

The Family

rosaandreacastillo2 — 2023-10-07 05:27:37 UTC

Comment:
The video helped me to be able to identify my family members so I can describe them in sentences such as:

- My mother's name is Ana.
- My cousin's name is Lucia.

And so I can describe or relate them in the family.

The numbers - Reinforcement

rosaandreacastillo2 — 2023-10-07 05:28:17 UTC

Let's review!
This video will help us to remember the English numbers from 1-100 so we can use them in lists, descriptions, dates and more.

For example:

List
-five notebooks
-ten pens
-2 books

Description
-My mother's name is Luz. She is forty-five years old.

Everyday Activities

rosaandreacastillo2 — 2023-10-07 05:30:11 UTC

With this video we will be able to reinforce our daily activities and...

What´s a typical morning like in your home?

For example, a typical morning in my house is getting up at 6 am, brush my tooth, wash my face, get dressed, make the bed, make breakfast and go to university.
And what is your daily morning?

Because we know this, we can describe what our daily morning or the whole day is like. We can use it to describe our daily life or for a conversation.

Comment:
Let's not stay in doubt and better practice our daily activities so that we can describe them to anyone.

The Simple Present

rosaandreacastillo2 — 2023-10-07 05:32:52 UTC

This video helped me reinforce the class I learned. Reminding me again how to use DO and DOES correctly, how to write in negative and positive, etc. Let's practice with this kind of videos that are very useful for us!

dayanaolivo21 — 2023-10-08 02:45:33 UTC

I recommend this video because it is entertaining and helps a lot in the translation and pronunciation of the words.
It helped me to practice the verb to be a little more.

GREETINGS AND INTRODUCTION

dayanaolivo21 — 2023-10-08 04:28:32 UTC

To start the class we began with greetings and introductions of oneself so that the teacher could get to know us; I was a little nervous because it was the first class; I understood this part of the session because it is something basic that is taught in elementary school, but anyway I used these videos to understand a little more the pronunciation.

- COMMENT BY DAYANA OLIVO:
In week 5 we did a practice of everything we had learned until session 4, I felt nervous during the practice because I didn't understand and I hadn't studied much, when they gave us the practice there were 3 parts: in the first one we had to read and make sentences, I had tried to make only two sentences but they were wrong; in the second part was to place the verb to be where it is correct, in this part I could do it well and with confidence, however I missed one to complete; in the third part it was about a short biography of a famous person, I knew the answers but I didn't know how to write it well with a grammar.
At the end of the practicum I felt sad because I did not perform well in my practicum and I knew the grade I would receive.

- Comment by Andrea Castillo:
In week 5 we took a written test in which consisted of 3 parts: formulate sentences, complete with the verb to be and answer some questions from a text of a famous person. When I took the test I felt nervous because I hadn't practiced much and I wasn't sure if what I wrote would be right, so I completed it with nerves and fear of making a mistake, but when they gave the exams and I saw my grade I felt a little calmer because I didn't get such a bad grade. So I learned that if I study a little more and improve my confidence I can do better next time.

- Comment by Dayana Antón Pérez:
In the practice that we gave in week 5 I felt nervous since I had studied little and also because there were some words that I did not understand, and in the exam more than anything everything ended until week 4, like making sentences, yes. I had it there but there were some words that were wrong and the verb to be, I had no problems putting it in and where there was a brief reading about two famous people, it was difficult for me to respond but I managed to respond. one, which came in that part and at the end I felt nervous since I didn't know how much grade I had gotten, but I knew that the verb to be was good and I didn't have any complications there.
- Comment by Angie Medina:

In the graded practice, I didn´t expect it, I had no idea that I was going to see a practice, but I still didn´t feel so worried because I thought that at least I saw my grade and I was very sad because I didn´t expect that grade, but I will improve next time, it´s a promise to myself.

Jobs

2023-10-08 04:59:28 UTC

In week 3 we learned what the professions were, but there are some professions that we forget, that's why I put it in my ppt and interactive videos to remember these jobs.

Verbo to be

2023-10-08 05:22:57 UTC

As we know we can make sentences using the verb to be or when you are asked a question.
Exercise:
A: Who is Marta?
B: She is my friend.
A: Who is he?
B: Lucas. He is our hairdresser.
A: Emma. This is my sister Carla.
B: Hi, nice to meet you.
A: You're Claudia, right?
B: No. I'm Lina. This is Claudia.
A: Ah! Sorry!
A: Who are they?
B: They are my grandchildren.
A: How nice! What are their names?
B: My grandson is Lorenzo and my granddaughter is Ana.

Comment:
The video, helped me not only to remember but also to know that you can make sentences (with the verb to be ) and also that the video is very dynamic and can be understood.

Country and Nationality

2023-10-08 05:46:26 UTC

For example:
- Ish : Spain - Spanish
- An: Mexico -Mexican
-Ian: Italy -Italian
-Ese: Japan -Japanese
-Ean: Chile - Chilean

In week 5 we practiced what we learned from week 1 to 4, applying the verb ser; my classmates and I commented on how we felt at that moment.

ENGLISH EXAM

dayanaolivo21 — 2023-10-18 04:50:52 UTC

COMENT BY DAYANA OLIVO
I was nervous on the exam because I didn't know how I was going to do.
When they gave me the exam I read all the contents but some I didn't understand and when I was grading and writing the answers I felt insecure because I was repeating my answer and I couldn't make sense of it, even though I felt I had done well.
But when they gave me the exam I got a failing grade, so I have to try harder and reivsorce the grammar from the classes.
Comment by Andrea Castillo
That day of the exam I felt nervous because I didn't practice enough and I felt that some things were not correct or I forgot how to put some terms but I managed to turn in my exam. I didn't get a good grade but I will keep working hard.
COMMENT BY ANGIE MEDINA
I really am very discouraged with this course, I didn't think I would miss English very much in my life, I just hope somehow I can save the course.
COMMENT BY DAYANA ANTÓN
In the exam I felt nervous, there were some sentences that I had to complete, they were a little complicated, but where I had options I did them well, but what I needed was to review a little more.

Healthy Habits

dayanaolivo21 — 2023-11-08 01:15:01 UTC

In week 11 we talk about plural and singular, and the use of a/an, some and to ask questions how much and

how many.

dayanaolivo21 — 2023-11-08 01:15:25 UTC

Verbs and "do" and "does" and short questions and answers.

dayanaantonp — 2023-11-08 04:27:05 UTC

In the ppt that I have made, topics such as "do" and "does" will be shown, which help us formulate questions and short answers, as well as verbs to form sentences.

Comments on the exhibition:

rosaandreacastillo2 — 2023-11-12 00:14:42 UTC

Comment from Andrea Castillo

The day of the exhibition I was nervous because days before I was practicing my pronunciation and some words did not come out correctly and when the day arrived I was nervous. I started practicing many times. At the time of the presentation I felt that I said some sentences correctly but others not so much, at the end I felt satisfied with my work since it was the first time I did something like this. I will continue practicing in order to improv.

Comment by Dayana Antón

In the presentation I had and which is about the routines of a preschool, I felt a little nervous but I managed to explain, but I need a little better in pronunciation.

COMMENT BY ANGIE MEDINA

I hope it’s okey, because if I don’t get more stressed, the routine I did is just like where I live and I really liked talking a little more about myself.

COMMENT BY DAYANA OLIVO
I was nervous on the day of the exhibition because exhibiting in English is new to me.
when it was my turn to present I was shaking with nerves and I was afraid of mispronouncing some words because of my nerves, but my partner helped me to overcome this.
In the end we did well, there were constructive comments from the teacher to improve a little more and we got a grade of 16.

DICTATION

medinagieam04 — 2023-11-14 04:13:30 UTC

COMMENT BY DAYANA OLIVO

In the dictation I felt nervous because I can't write some words well and I don't recognize them very well when I hear them. But at the time of doing my dictation I was able to write some words well, however when the teacher played a video to listen to a dialogue I couldn't recognize what they were saying and I marked randomly.

Anyway, I passed my dictation with a minimum grade.

COMMENT BY ANDREA CASTILLO M

In the dictation I felt doubtful and nervous because I didn't know if what I was hearing was right or wrong, but I tried to concentrate to listen and mark the correct answer and it came out right. I passed the dictation with a minimum grade but I felt good because what I managed to understand came out right.

COMMENT BY ANGIE MEDINA

sincerely I am very frustrated because I felt that at least I would have a good grade but it wasn't like that and I really don't know what to do anymore, even though I study it doesn't work out as I expect.

COMMENT BY DAYANA ANTÓN

During the dictation I felt a little nervous because I didn't know how to write some words very well, I managed to write others that I did know and in the part of the video that the teacher showed it was a little difficult for me to write what was said in the video, but I managed has approve.

How many and How much

dayanaantonp — 2023-11-14 15:24:24 UTC

When the noun is countable, the “How much” is applied, while in the non-countable noun the “How much” is applied, this way you will know how to ask questions.

Comments from the description practice of your area.

Commentary by Dayana Antón
I was calm, but I needed to finish. He only needed to write 10 more words, but he handed them in anyway.
COMMENT BY DAYANA OLIVO
In this practice I felt good and not so worried because the teacher gave us an example on the projector to do our writing describing what is in our community where we live.
I got a maximum grade of 17, which I am happy about.
Comment by Andrea Castillo M
I was nervous because I hadn't practiced that much and when it was time to give the exam I forgot several things, I didn't do badly but not as I would have liked.
Comment by Angie Medina
she’s a little nervous, but I managed to finish it even if it took a while to deliver.

Comment by Andrea Castillo M

I felt nervous but I also had confidence in myself and when it came to solving the exam some things were easy and others not so easy but I was able to deliver it at the given time.

Comment by Angie Medina

I think I will get a good grade, because if I study, although it won’t be a high grade, but I will be able to pass the course. I am satisfied with that exam.

Commet by Dayana Antón Pérez
In the evaluation, I felt a little nervous, and in the ordering part there was a word that I didn't know what it meant, and to mark this undecided but finally I got it done and after that I felt good.
Comment by Dayana Olivo
I was nervous in the exam because I hadn't studied much during the class sessions, at the moment of solving the exam it was a little easy because I understood but I didn't do so well. I just hope for a minimum grade.

Christmas song

rosaandreacastillo2 — 2023-12-04 04:33:36 UTC

Comment by Andrea Castillo M

I remember that day I was nervous about going out to sing and for a moment I didn't want to do it but after seeing my other classmates I cheered up and when I went out some sentences of the song were easy and others not so easy but I really liked the experience.

Comment by Angie Medina

Before going out to sing I was shaking my hands, I didn’t want to go out, but in the end I got up the courage and I had a lot of fun and although it didn’t turn out very well, it was fun and nice, I felt very confortable.

Comment by Dayana Antón Pérez
There was a song about Christmas, I felt a little nervous, but after practicing the music I was able to sing, maybe not so fluently but I was able to sing the song.
Comment by Dayana Olivo
I was nervous to sing the Christmas song because I hadn't heard it when the teacher sent it, but my group were the last ones, so I learned the music and was able to sing with my group pronouncing it well and enjoying it.
