Presentation time!

Dear Team Players,

I am really looking forward to your presentations this Wednesday. You have your ideas, your outline, your graph, information, and body language. I hope you are ready!

stage fright (HU: lámpaláz)

Also on Wednesday, there will be more practice and discussion about reported speech. Please check 5perc angol for an explanation. There is a handout about the time changes in reported speech here, which you can print out

Reported Speech - Függı Beszéd 1. - 5perc Angol Oktató Magazin - Ingyenes online angol tanulás 1. oldal

Amennyiben a függı beszédet bevezetı ige jelen vagy jövı idıben, illetve Present Perfect-ben van (tehát például Mary mondja), akkor a feladat nagyon

könnyő, hiszen az igeidıket nem kell egyeztetni, mindössze a helyes szórendre kell figyelni és még néhány egyéb apróságra: Ha ez van a direkt

mondatban: Akkor ez lesz belıle az indirekt, azaz függı mondatban:

tonight that night

today that day

this week/month/year that week/month/year now

then, at that time,

at once, immediately

now that since

yesterday the day before

last night/week/month/year the previous night/week/month/year

tomorrow the following day/the day after

next week/month/year the following day/month/year

two days/months/years ago two days/months/years before

A szövegkörnyezettıl függıen, az alábbiak is megváltozhatnak:

this/these that/those

here there

come go

Például:

Tom says (in his office): „I’ll be here again on

Monday.”

Tom says he will be there on Monday.

Sincerely,
Mary 

Get your presentation ready!

Hello, English Team!

It's time to get your presentation ready! We will have presentations in the lesson on DECEMBER 15.

Here is a link to a good example presentation. Please watch it, because we will talk about it in the lesson this week.


This week we will look at body language and gestures in presentations. Also, we will collect some useful words for connecting the parts of your presentation, for example: "next," "now we turn to," and " finally."

Last week, we discussed relative clauses and practiced listening. Everybody needs to practice listening regularly!

How?
Some people watch films with subtitles (HU: feliratos film)
Other people listen to English radio programs or watch English TV channels.
You can use the Internet, too. There are lots of mp3 downloads like THIS ONE.
And don't forget the links on the right side of this blog!

Your homework is to write 10 definitions with relative clauses, for example:

A bank is a place where you keep your money.
OR
A banker is a person who ... well, YOU can finish it, can't you??

See you soon,
Mary
