Botany


This post is a follow up to the BBC documentary we watched last week, Seasonal Forests. The other day your classmate Oian brought to class a book he had on English for Agroforestry Specialties, and I think it is quite useful to learn some more new specific terms on nature and forests. So thanks, Oian! Here I ulpload a few pages of Lesson 1: Botany. There are some activities too, so I think you should all take a look at it.

A follow up to your pronunciation workshop


After so much sweating last Friday, I figure you might as well like to try the fun part of this jungle of phonetic symbols... This game is called Guess the celebrity behind ! What follows is a classic matching exercise where you have a set of names and surnames of actors and actresses to match, but first you will have to take off their phonetic disguise!
And I'd like to thank my friend and fellow teacher Cristina Sánchez Soto for this activity!


And now check your phonetic abilities below
