Thursday 30th

Hi! How are you
doing?
I hope you are OK. Did you have a
good weekend? Are you ready for a new week?
What did we do last
Thursday?
It was a bit unusual as some of
you were leaving earlier because you were going away for the weekend; the long
May Day weekend. It was May Day & it also was Mother’s Day in Spain and the
Day of the Community of Madrid.
This is what we celebrated…
… but it’s over now and we have
to start a new week and a new month!
You told me “All
about you,” as an excuse to review verb patterns.
One day, I want to
live in a foreign country.
I often forget to buy the travel card till the very last day!

I wish people would stop
fighting
against each other.
I would never refuse to
go out with my friends.
Once, I helped a blind lady to get on the bus.

Our teacher often tells us not to
learn things out of context.
We learnt to use time
references when telling a story.

At the beginning I hated watching TV in England. But slowly I learnt to
enjoy it after
I had been there a few months.
·
I never used to like
the radio. But recently
I’ve been listening on the drive to work. I really enjoy it.
·
We’re only to be here
for a while.
So that doesn’t give you much time. Hurry up!
·
Now, after
you start complaining about my cooking, I’ve done the best I can!
Then, Andrea told us
about Johnny Depp.
I’d like you to use mind maps. So, here you are some
information about them:
What is a Mind Map?
What do you need
to make a Mind Map?
Because Mind Maps are so easy
to do and so natural, the ingredients for your “Mind Map Recipe” are very few:
·
Blank unlined paper
·
Coloured pens and pencils
·
Your Brain
·
Your imagination!
When you use
Mind Maps on a daily basis, you will find that your life becomes more
productive, fulfilled, and successful on every level. There are no limits to
the number of thoughts, ideas and connections that your brain can make, which
means that there are no limits to the different ways you can use Mind Maps to
help you.
7 Steps to Making
a Mind Map
1.
Start in the
CENTRE of a blank page turned sideways. Why? Because starting in the centre
gives your Brain freedom to spread out in all directions and to express itself
more freely and naturally.
2.
Use an IMAGE or
PICTURE for your central idea. Why? Because an image is worth
a thousand words and helps you use your Imagination. A central image is more
interesting, keeps you focussed, helps you concentrate, and gives your Brain
more of a buzz!
3.
Use COLOURS
throughout. Why? Because colours are as exciting to your Brain
as are images. Colour adds extra vibrancy and life to your Mind Map, adds
tremendous energy to your Creative Thinking, and is fun!
4.
CONNECT your
MAIN BRANCHES to the central image and connect your second- and third-level
branches to the first and second levels, etc. Why? Because your Brain works by association. It likes
to link two (or three, or four) things together. If you connect the branches,
you will understand and remember a lot more easily.
5.
Make your
branches CURVED rather than straight-lined. Why? Because having nothing but straight lines is boring to
your Brain.
6.
Use ONE KEY WORD
PER LINE. Why Because single key words give your Mind Map
more power and flexibility.
7.
Use IMAGES
throughout. Why Because each image, like the central image, is
also worth a thousand words. So if you have only 10 images in
your Mind Map, it’s already the equal of 10,000 words of notes!
In our next class we
are going to talk about ‘Jack the Ripper’. This is your homework: find
information about him and make a presentation in class.
You didn’t work very hard last
week, so this is your score:
