Sunday evening

Hello, English Team!

It's Sunday evening, and we are all getting ready for another week. Everybody gets ready differently. Some people are bathing their children, others are reading a book, maybe some people are having a party. (PLEASE note how I am using the present continuous verbs!)

What are YOU doing?

Last week, our lesson had four parts:

• dates and ordinal numbers - first, second, third, fourth, fifth, etc. 
• checking the grammar homework about past simple and past continuous
• prepositions in pictures - for example, across the street (man walking on a zebra), a photograph of somebody, looking at each other, etc.
• making appointments on the phone

And the homework is:

Be ready with a story that has

• 3 past continuous sentences - to give the picture of the story
• 3 past simple sentences - to tell the events of the story

For example: I was riding in the bus. It was raining. A man was eating ice cream. He got off the bus, and slipped in the rain. Oh no! The ice cream went all over his shirt...very sad.

Well, that is a really simple story! I think the English Team members can be more creative, right?

Your OTHER homework is: tell me the topic of your presentation, please. Everyone will do a presentation in December. The presentation will be:

• Five minutes long

• Not PowerPoint - but please use photos, or draw something on the whiteboard if you want to

• About something in the world of business, for example:

• sports business management (this is Attila's topic)
• a profile of a company
• compare the websites of two companies
• how to get a job
• logos and brands
• ethics and business
•  advertising and marketing
• and more and more -- these are just examples 

Your presentation will be in December. We will go slowly and practice a lot.


Here are two videos for you to watch. They will help you learn about presenting in English.
