Hi! How’s your week
going?
In our last class we listened, talked and wrote about an accident that
took place in Australia and cause an important environmental disaster.
The person telling the story said that he was on holiday in Australia.
He was on a cruise with his wife.
Then, a terrible storm started and it turned into a cyclone. The strong wind made the
cargo on the deck move and crash into
the oil tanks. As a result, there was an oil
spill that spilt tonnes of fuel into the ocean.
If the cyclone hadn’t hit, the accident
wouldn’t have happened.
If the containers hadn’t moved, they wouldn’t
have hit the other cargo and made
the spill.
The area wouldn’t
have recovered so quickly if the clean-up groups hadn’t
worked so hard.
The coast
wouldn’t have been polluted if less fuel had poured into
the ocean.
We saw examples of 3rd conditional sentences in songs. In
this video you can see examples of different types of conditionals in songs.
So, we have reviewed the three types of conditionals. We've learnt (at
least I hope you have learnt) how to pronounce contractions in third
conditional sentences in a colloquial way. We have learnt vocabulary related to
natural disasters and related to accidents that caused environmental disasters.
Now,
you can write about it. That’s what we will talk about in our next class.
Apart from this topic, you listen to somebody explaining what ‘Pantomime’
– ‘Panto’ – is and you took notes. Some of you took notes.
Learnt more in here:
Pantomime
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pantomime (informally panto),
is a type of musical
comedy stage production, designed for family
entertainment. It was developed in England and is generally performed during
the Christmas and New Year season. Modern pantomime includes songs, slapstick
comedy and dancing, employs gender-crossing actors, and combines topical humour
with a story loosely based on a well-known fairy tale.[1] It
is a participatory form of theatre, in which the audience is expected to sing
along with certain parts of the music and shout out phrases to the performers.
Pantomime has a
long theatrical history in Western culture dating back to classical theatre,
and it developed partly from the 16th-centurycommedia dell'arte tradition of
Italy, as well as other European and British stage traditions, such as
17th-century masques.[1] An
important part of the pantomime, until the late 19th century, was the harlequinade.
The pantomime is performed today throughout Britain and, to a lesser extent, in
other English-speaking countries.
And we finished the class looking for information so as to start our ‘News
programme’. You are supposed to get most of
the information ready for this week because we have to start recording it!
