USING DICTIONARIES (STEP 5)

THINK ABOUT HOW RELATED THE WORD IS...

• Think about how the information you've found relates to the word as you encountered it. If there are multiple definitions, decide which one matches your source or context for the word and notice how the different definitions are related to one another. In an English dictionary, the most common meaning is usually placed first where there are multiple meanings.

• Try using your new word in a sentence. If it's difficult to spell, write it a few times to help yourself.

• Use a picture dictionary to broaden your technical or specific knowledge.

MAKING A CREATIVE CALENDAR (6°)

After reviewing the Days of the week and the Months of the year, practice them by making a calendar 2014 with a specific theme. Highlight the special dates for you in every month. Decorate it as you want and use the material you like the most.

TALKING ABOUT THINGS' PROBLEMS(9°)

PAIR WORK

Follow these steps to do a conversation in which you talk about some problems you have with your things.

1. State a problem

2. Ask about it

3. Describe the problem

4. Offer to help

5. Say thank you

Look at this example:

A: Dad, I have a problem with my cell phone.

B: What's the matter with it?

A: The battery is dead.

B: I'll charge it for you.

A: That would be great. Thanks.
