English Day by Day is designed for school students to improve their performance in the English language.
Hi guys,
today we continued studying the text and for those who still haven't finished highlighting it with different colours to make the different WH- stand out, I strongly advise you to do so...
Here is what we have written so far about the different parts of the document (people, places, alibi, motives, problems about the alibi...):
Mason:
Motive? He and Kelner had been political allies for years but recently he favored another candidate. So they had a spat. Mason said Robert called him "to mend fences"
Alibi? there was music playing in an upstairs room. He was reading and he didn't hear or watch the news.
James Shepard:
Alibi? He was sick/ had a stomach flu; he had a weak voice and stayed at home.
Reaction: He was horrified when he heard the news = he already knew about the governor's death.
Vocabulary:
to mend fences: to clarily a problem
stomach flu: la gastro
HW:
