What Would you Like? Do you Sell Envelopes?

Monday 5^th May

Hello guys!

How are you doing? I’m fine, thanks.

We finished listening to the song by John Lennon, ‘Imagine’. And sang it! Well, in fact, only Nacho sang! Manuel, you told me you liked The Beatles and you wanted to sing. Why didn’t you do it?

Can you answer these questions?

·        According to some religions, where do good people go when they die?

·        According to some religions, where do bad people go when they die?

·        Where can you see the clouds and the sky?

·        How do you call the action when somebody wants much more then they need?

·        What’s the noun for hungry?

·        What’s the opposite of ‘war’?

               

Imagine! Can you imagine all the people living life in peace?

Then, we went shopping.

 We had three shoppers, customers and three kinds of shops. There was a souvenir shop, a chemist’s and a news-stand. The person who works in a shop is the shop assistant or the shop keeper. The shop assistant sells and the customer buys.

You had to follow the instructions written on your cards and go shopping. You had €13.

Dialogues went like this:

Shop assistant (S): Good morning, Can I help you.

Customer(C): Yes, please. Do you sell envelopes?

S: Sorry, we don’t sell envelopes. Maybe in the other shop.

C: Thank you. Good bye.

S: How many would you like?

C: How much is each stamp?

Don’t forget:

In English, we use a ‘point’(.) for decimals and a ‘comma’ (,) for ‘thousands’.

We usually write the currency symbols £, €, $ before the figure (number) and the fractions (small units like penny- pence- in plural- or cents) after the number.

£2,000   Two thousand pounds.  

 £115.95 one hundred and fifteen pounds ninety-five

13p thirteen ‘p’ Colloquially, British people say ‘p’ instead of ‘pence’

€2.50 two euros fifty

17c seventeen cents

And that was all!

Next day we’ll continue talking about different kinds of shops and we’ll buy some clothes.

Don’t forget to write a dialogue at a shop for homework. You can use the models ABOVE BUT DO NOT COPY THEM!
