English Day by Day is designed for school students to improve their performance in the English language.
Hey,
today you first had to take a vocabulary test that none of you have succeeded in completing correctly... Shame on you!
Then we continued with the correction of your letters. We first worked a little bit on grammar. Here is what we said:
"to be written by Nadia"
Then we continued the class with an exercise about link words (cause, consequence, goal). Here is the correction:
so as to (but)
in order to (but)
since (cause)
thanks to (cause)
that's why (conséquence)
therefore (conséquence)
1- He was sentenced to death since he confessed his crime
2- There was a lot of evidence against him that's why he pleaded guilty
3- He raped a girl; therefore he was put under arrest
4- The police investigates a lot so as to find the cold-blooded murderer
5- He confessed his crimes in order to be freed earlier
6- He wasn't sent to prison thanks to his lawyer
Finally, I gave some examples of correction for the letter you had to write. You had to highlight the link words expressing cause, consequence, and goal, and the important vocabulary.
Here are the two letters:
- First letter here.
- Second letter here.
HW: for next time, don't forget to have filled in your worksheet about the text "Death Row" and to get prepared for a debate. Don't forget to update your classeur, because I will grade them VERY soon.
