Relative clauses

Visit this page to learn about relative clauses - the explanations are in Spanish!

There are a lot of activities on the Internet. Try these:

- Choose the relative pronoun.

- Complete the sentence with the suitable relative pronoun.

- Write the defining relative clause.

Now, you are ready to publish your own post about the things you like and the things you don't like, which has to be full of relative clauses like mine. Don't forget to write a title, which has to be original, and the labels: relative, your name.

Some of the things that I like

I love playing basketball, which is my favourite sport.However, I can't stand people whose only interest is football.

I used to play basketball when I was younger and I will never forget the day when we won the Junior Spanish Championship. It was great!!!

I love teaching English, which I think is a useful language.

A place that I like is the island of Bali, where I spent one of my best holidays.

Conditionals

If you had a million dollars, what would you do????I'm sure you would do a lot of different things. Share your ideas with the group.You can find more in this website., listen to the song and click on the pictures you hear.

And now, what about a joke?

There are a lot of interesting Internet sites with information and exercises on the conditional sentences. This joke is taken from one of these, created by Julio César Fernández García, where you'll find a lot of activities to do. First, read the joke. Then, think about this sentence: "If you had passed 2nd of Batxillerato and had won a grant of 1 million euros, what would you do...". Try to develop the idea and write an entry in your blog (it can be one for your group, but remember to write the name of all the members of the group in he label).

If you are not too sure about writing conditional sentences or want to do some more practice before writing the entry , go to the English Grammar Online. Read the grammar explanation of the three types of conditional sentences, do an exercise on each type and try the four tests. Note down your errors and difficulties and ask your teacher for help if you need it. Are you satisfied with your scores?
There are more explanations and exercises in this Conditional Tutorial.
If you are in a hurry and don't have much time, try the 7 sentences in this page. Or do this interactive activity. You have the opportunity to listen to conditional sentences in this page. See if you can translate and classify them.

You will decide which entry is the most original one and will get an extra point!!!!! Be original!!!

Halloween

October 31st is Halloween. Where does Halloween come from? The Celts lived in Britain, Ireland and parts of France over 2,000 years ago, and October 31st was the end of their year.

Today many people around the world celebrate this old festival - but today people usually have parties, dress up, and tell spooky stories about witches, skeletons, bats and ghosts. Have some Halloween fun!

To finish, today is your lucky day. You will travel to London this summer, you have won a study grant. You have 3000 euros to stay in London 2 months (July and August). Look for a flat or an appartment in London, when you find it write the description of it in one blog entry and include a picture of it if you can.

If you do this in group write your names at the bottom of the document LABEL, with commas. Example: Label:Ana,Maria,Rubén. Good Luck!
