HAPPY EASTER!!

Friday, April 17th

How are you? I hope you are fine and happy, what is not easy after so much time at home... The restriction time continues so we need to keep working via this blog...

So let's start. Are you ready?

REMEMBER!!! If you don't understand anything, you have got a doubt or question.... please post a comment or send me an e-mail. It's important that you understand what we are seeing.

If you have done the homework I sent for Easter (the can/ can't activities), just correct them; otherwise, continue the following guidelines.

Today, we are going to learn how to express abilities, that is, how to say what you can do. Please, watch this video for the explanation.

1. Do the first page of the activities "Can/Can't".

2. Do the second page of the activities "Can/Can't".
















3. Correct the second page of the activities "Can/ Can't": What about you? and What about your friends or family?

• As this answer is open, each of you will have a different answer, you can post a comment or send me an email (sabelateacher@gmail.com) with your answer if you want me to correct it.

Sample answers:

• What about you? I can swim (for a long time); I can drive (but I don't like it a lot); I can fly a kite (actually, I can kitesurf); I can juggle a soccer ball (but not for a long time); I can make a birdhouse (if I watch a tutorial on YouTube); I can dance (if you don't specify what); I can skate (but I can't stop....); and, I can't paint well.

• What about your friends or family?

• My mother can swim (and she prefers the swimming-pool than the sea); she can drive (and she doesn't like it either); she can fly a kite (I guess...); she can dance; but neither she can't juggle a soccer ball; nor she can't make a birdhouse; nor she can't paint well; nor she can't skate (although she tried when I was a kid).

• My partner can swim (but he doesn't like it too much); he can drive (and he loves it); he can fly a kite (actually, he can kitesurf); he can make a birdhouse (he's very good with woodwork); he can dance and he can skate (even ice-skate); but neither he can't juggle a soccer ball (he hates soccer) nor he can't paint well.

4. Do the third page of the activities "Can/Can't".   
   First activity. You just need to circle the answer that is true for you.
 

   Second activity. It is similar to the activity in the previous page. As this answer is open, each of you will have a different answer, you can post a comment or send me an email (sabelateacher@gmail.com) with your answer if you want me to correct it.
