THE TYPEWRITER, A GREAT INVENTION

Some days ago you wrote a compositions about great inventions. Some of you wrote about simple things which have made our lives easier, but have you thought of using any of the objects you wrote about in a less conventional way?

Have a look at this video and give me your opinion. Can you think of other uses we could give to the inventions you chose?

ESO1: A COOKERY WORKSHOP (ENGLISH WEEK)

This February we had our English Week at school.

All the students at school participated in different activities and we all had fun.

Thamk you Keara for your help!!!

And now all of them:

ESO3 -ED or -ING?

Are you confused? Is this confusing? If you never know which one to use, have a look at the grammar rules and then do the exercises.




Many adjectives in English can end in -ED or -ING.

An adjective that ends in -ING is used to describe: the characteristic of a person or a thing.

An adjective that ends in -ED is used to describe: a feeling.

Compare the difference:

• My girlfriend is bored. - (My girlfriend feels bored)
• My girlfriend is boring. - (My girlfriend is a boring person)

You can use these adjectives to describe people or situations. 

Of course, you could also find both adjectives in the same sentence. 

Examples:

• I was shocked by how shocking the accident was last night.
• They were frightened by the frightening roller-coaster ride!
• I am annoyed by how annoying that person in front of us is.
• Sally was confused by the confusing street signs in the city.

Now try with these exercises. If you feel you need more practice, tell me.
