The Fourth Week

First of all the course is turning to its end. It has been fun and the classes are still like they used to be, a lot of talking and learning new stuff in a fun way!

We had a test on phrasal verbs. I actually never thought about the phrasal verbs before this course. I used some of them normally without noticing. I think going through those verbs was really good. Now that I have studied more of them, I realize that you see them everywhere. So they are very useful and also they show a different side and larger vocabulary when you talk and that's important so you wouldn't use the same words all the time.

We also did some listening exercises where we had to fill in the missing sentences by listening. That helps you to understand and actually think about what they are saying and also, how it is written.

We went through couple of new texts which means new vocabulary - Always good!

We have been practising our pronunciation especially with similar souding words. It's good to go through that kind of words, just in case you won't mix them. Sometimes it can be quite funny when people pronunce a word just a little bit differently and it turns out to mean something totally different. Also practising pronunciation is always good, not only because we have an oral exam coming up but really bad accent can be really hard to understand. It also helps misunderstandings.
                 We did some exercises of this topic. For example the tongue twiters that we did are fun way to practise it!

I think we also did some acting which was so much fun, little bit of improvising is always good. In real life you never know what kind of people you'll face and what they are saying so it's a good thing to know how to act and imrpovise in some cases.

This course is still so much fun!
