Thursday 23rd
April
Hello, how are you?
Last Thursday was Saint George’s Day. Saint George is the patron saint
of England. It was the World Book Day and the festivity of some
communities (Spanish administrative divisions of the territory) e.g.Castilla
and Leon, Aragon and Catalonia. And as Jorge said, it was the anniversary of
both Cervantes and Shakespeare’s death.
We continued with
verb patterns. Verbs followed by infinitive, infinitive without ‘to’ (bare
infinitive) or ing.
After certain verbs we use to + infinitive and after other verbs we use “–ing”. And this is the most difficult part to remember
because there are no rules for it. Read a lot. Do exercises and above all,
learn the verbs in context with sample sentences.
·
What did they plan to
do?

Nancy decided to apply for the job, so she submitted her CV and possibly a covering letter (The letter which accompanies the CV). And she had a
job interview.
She was asked about her background (studies
and experience) and some personal questions such as if she had lived
abroad before or if she would mind
travelling.
Do you think she got the job?
After this, you
role-played your job interviews.
Did you get
the jobs you had applied for?
But …let’s talk about
football, the Champions League, to be precise.
So far, the winners of our bet (‘porra’)
for the semi-final draw lottery are Andrea and Alex. They both say the result
would be Barcelona-Bayern de Munich and R.Madrid-Juventus.
