Back to school - The comment + Are summer holidays too short or too long...?

http://www.eunasa.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/photo-holidays.jpgHey,

 

today we read the commentary that I had made for you about the "back-to-school" cartoon. You have learnt new vocabulary. You need to learn these new words by heart.

 

Then we continued to speak about holidays and we tried to figure out if they were too long or too short. Here is what we wrote about this subject:

 

What you can do, where you can go to, how you can feel when on holidays:

 

Places:
- go abroad (i.e. to another country)
- hotel / camping / family house / you can rent a house
- beach / mountains / night clubs / swimming-pool / countryside / seaside

Positive feelings:
- excited
- overjoyed
- relaxed
- feel no pressure

Negative feelings:
- "I'm bored" / "I get bored"
- "I'm depressed" / miserable / desperate

Things to do:
- visit friends or family
- work to earn money... (ex: ... as a sales assistant / ... as a baby sitter / you can do the dishes at a restaurant / ...)

 

HW: you need to prepare a commentary of the picture "Back-to-school" for next time. Prepare your notes and add information where needed to speak for about 5 minutes in front of the class.

<br /> The document is an article. From the online British newspaper "Telegraph.co.uk". It's entitled.<br /> "Are children's summer holidays too long?" and it was published on June 5th 2007.<br /> i.e. (that's to say) at the beginning of the summer holidays.<br /> <br /> Educational system : Diploma<br /> <br /> GCSE : middle school<br /> A-Levels : high school<br /> Ph D : college<br /> <br /> Freshman<br /> Sophomore<br /> Junior<br /> I'm a senior in highschool.<br /> <br /> <br />
