In the unit we are studying we learn to talk about cities we have visited: about their physical characteristics, the way o living in those cities, their people, their atmosphere, and also about the food.

We are still using some of the questions we practiced so much last week:

What is it like? (This time I am changing the subject from she/he to it, because I am talking about a city.)
What does it look like?
How is the food?

Last Tuesday we listened to an interview of an English couple who lived and worked in New York.
We learned words as: atmosphere, lane, deliver, (to) rush. The were many words related to speed: hurry up, fast, to be in a rush, quick, quickly.

They also use many adjectives in comparative or superlative forms.

Yesterday we were studying adjectives to describe food, people and town. Then we used in an exercise and read a conversation that included them a couple of times. Students role played the conversation and did very well, as usual. Some words that they need to include from now on as part of active vocabulary are starving, homegrown, disgusting, crowded, busy, junk food, wealthy, tasteless, exciting, rude.

We read the text called Global Pizza about the history of this dish. We'll be working on this text next week. For now, we remember the word toppings, which are the ingredients that go on top of the flat piece of bread and can be almost anything.

Homework

Look in the Aula Virtual for the listening called Listening London. Listen to it and write down 10 questions you would have to answer in order to summarize the interview.
