Passive Quiz and a Song.

Week 1^st- 3^rd June

Hello again!

What did we do this week?

We started the week reading about ‘Hayao Miyazaki’ the Japanese film director famous for his animation films, ‘Heidi’ and ‘Marco, 3,000 miles in search of mother’.

We reviewed passive questions. Yes, they are a bit tricky because you have to bear in mind (consider) two things at the same time. You have to pay attention to the passive structure, using “to be” and also to the word order in questions:

• Are bananas grown in Spain?
• Was the Mona Lisa painted by
• Leonardo Da Vinci?Who was taken to hospital?
• Was the room being cleaned when you got to the hotel?

We did a passives quiz.

Did you know that …:

…until 1800 New York was called New Amsterdam?

…chess was invented by the Chinese?

…the Italian flag was designed by Napoleon?

….the first Levi jeans were worn by miners?

…the Indiana Jones films were directed by Steven Spielberg?

 Some facts you knew, others, you didn’t!

We used the passive voice so as to ask for information at the hotel:

·      What time is breakfast served? It’s served from 7-9.30 a.m.

·      Where is dinner served? Dinner is served in the Main Restaurant.

·      Where can newspapers be bought? Newspapers can be bought at the reception desk.

·      How often are the rooms cleaned? Rooms are cleaned daily.

·      Where are films shown? They are shown every night at the hotel cinema.

And we finished the week with a song.

This is one of my favourite songs. Although I like all of the songs from this soundtrack. It’s the soundtrack of ‘Young Guns’ the western telling the story of Billy the Kid, the famous American outlaw.

It’s called ‘Bang a drum’ and it was written by Bon Jovi.

And that was all! Enjoy the rest of the week. See you on Monday!!!
