The last effort

We are in the final stretch of our last academic year before university, so it is crucial to give and do our best. I have started unit 6, which is focussed on job´s topic. In the first lesson we practised with some useful vocabulary about work. Everyone agreed that it was going to be extremely helpful for our future. Later, we looked into a text that talked about how people live thanks to scrapping-metal companies. It is unbelievable the profit that could be made by just recycling junk. Finally, we started working on the relative clauses, which are not diffcult for me.

Verbe tenses, reading and writing

 In the last two previous weeks we have been working on some verbe tenses: present simple, present continuous, past simple, past continuous, present perfect simple, past perfect simple and past perfect continuous. For me, the most difficult one was the past perfect continuous, but currently with the work we did, I understand it. Also, we worked on the interrogative forms. I always miss in some phrases, so I have to focus on them. In the last class we were doing a reading that I finished on time getting a good result, so it isn´t a problem for me. Finally, in that same class we read a for and against writing and the teacher explained some tips like the writing process and a few issues to focus on.
