Are you Free on Monday? Would you Like to Go Shopping on Tuesday? Where Shall we Meet?

Week 2^nd - 4^th March

Hi! How are you doing?

It’s a lovely weekend. The weather is great. It feels like spring.

Today 8^th March is ‘The International Women’s Day’

The Women’s Trade Union League campaigned for the 8 hour work day, safe working conditions and respect for women at work and in society.

Women are Working Day andNight to Win the War

In World War I, all sides used posters as tools to mobilize their populations for the war effort. With men fighting at the front, women played a great role in sustaining industrial production for the war effort and civilian needs,often by working in urban factories located away from   their homes. This British poster by an unknown artist shows women working at a lathe 
(/leɪð/ a machine used in cutting or forming a piece of wood, metal, etc., by holding and rotating it against a tool that shapes it) in a factory complex with a Young Women's Christian Association structure visible through the window. The YWCA was engaged in housing women workers, and the text proclaims:“₤25,000 immediately needed for the Women's War Time Fund to provide rest-rooms, canteens & hostels.”

We started the week talking about plans and arrangements.       

We learnt that we can use either going to or present continuous for plans or arrangements. Although present continuous is the best choice when we talk about arrangements e.g.: going to the doctor’s, seeing friends etc.

We do not use present continuous for future predictions. In that case, we use will or going to, depending if the prediction is an opinion or something based on evidence.

We planned our diary for the week & made suggestions or invitations to our classmates in order to fill in = complete, the free time we had.

“Are you free on Monday?” “Sorry, I´m going to the dentist’s.”

“Would you like to come to the gym with me tomorrow?” “I’m afraid I have to look after my niece.” “What about Friday morning?” “Perfect.”

“How about going to the cinema on Saturday?” “I’d love to.” “Where shall we meet?”



Do you remember the meaning of these verbs:
 look forward to + ing
 look up /look after and look for?

Last week you told me how you see life. Are you optimistic or pessimistic?

So, you are optimists.

Adjective	Noun
I am an optimistic person.	I am an optimist.
I am a pessimistic person.	I am a pessimist.

And finally, we made sentences with some opposite verbs and also some confusing verbs.

·         Do you often lose your glasses?

·         Have you missed any English lessons?

·         Have you ever missed a bus? And a plane?

·         What things do people lose more frequently?

·         Do you lend money to friends? Why/ why not?

·         Do you borrow money from friends? Why/ why not?

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday! See you tomorrow!
