 As you all know, we have been dealing with short stories for some time.

I hope you can learn how to plan your own story as well as some vocabulary and interesting expressions for both your writing and your speaking skill.

Don´t forget to read Page 114 in your Student´s Book as well.

Try to find some time to study independently, please.

The photocopies will be provided in class.

I hope you can find some time to do this listening practice for homework.

Make sure you listen to each one twice.

Check your answers and give me some information about your progress on December 11th/12th.

You´ve got a couple of weeks to do it.  

The more you listen to English, the more you will improve your speaking skill.

5B: PET HATES and ANGER QUOTES

ANGER

What do I do that bugs* people and how does this affect their view of me?

  *to bug: informal to annoy or worry someone.


 Do you have a pet hate*? *something that you strongly dislike because it always annoys you.

"My particular pet hate is people leaving their dirty clothes lying on the floor."

"TV game shows are one of my pet hates."

Wish + would

We can use wish + would if we are annoyed about something that is or is not happening, or about something that will or will not happen:

I wish you’d stop making so much noise! (You are making a noise; it would be better if you didn’t.)

I wish you wouldn’t come through the kitchen with your dirty boots on. (You do come through the kitchen; it would be better if you didn’t.)
