BELGIUM: TINTIN & NÚRIA'S HOMETOWN

Tintin & Milou

Yesterday was a hard day for The Holmes. They reviewed some modal verbs (Need and Can) and they wrote two Florence’s postcards to MJ. They also practised some Social English and other themes of English grammar while The Grandma was explaining a story about an old friend who she loves a lot and once had to take another path in her life far away from her.

Today, the family has continued its preparation learning some new things about Adverbs of Frequency in comparative and superlative forms; Relative Pronouns and Conditional Tense. After MJ visit, the family has been talking about the convenience of doing the Cambridge Exam with advantages and disadvantages.

The Grandma appreciates the huge effort of her family day after day and trust on them because she knows that they have nothing to lose and the only possible final is success

Tomorrow, The Holmes will recycle with modal verbs, count with their little calculators and play bingo with Luisa Holmes, the croupier, like party’s soul. After this, the family, who is now in Lîdje, are going to travel to London where they’re going to stay some days and where The Queen, an old Grandma’s friend, is waiting for them, in the same way, that The Collins who are going to receive them in Downton Abbey.

A GREAT PROJECT: CELLER DE CAPÇANES (PRIORAT)

Origami

This morning, The Holmes have continued their classes.

First, they’ve revised Present Simple doing some exercises.

Second, they’ve listened to a beautiful story about kosher wines in Capçanes, Priorat.

Next, they’ve played a little with a black ball and a bomb.

Then, they’ve learnt something more about the position of the adjectives and about imperative and invocative tenses.

Finally, they’ve made an origami and they’ve described themselves.

This afternoon, they’ve received terrible news: Luisa is missing! 

Now, all The Holmes are elaborating a rescue’s plan managed by Genara. 

Tomorrow, The Holmes are going to rescue her. The plan is going to start at 12:00 am.

As you teach, you learn.
