BREXIT - BYE BYE UK!

As you may have heard in the news o read in the newspapers, Brexit is already a reality. For that reason, I decided to dedicate some time in the class to talk about this issue with my students.

First of all, we watched a short explanatory video to clarify all Brexit's aspects. After that, we raised the debate: What do you think about this situation? Is it Brexit benefitial for the UK? And for the rest of Europe?

Here is the video we watched: Brexit explained in simple terms.

Have a nice week!

MY LAST TRIP

Now it's time to practise your writing skills; here you have a little activity!

Write about your last trip. What did you do?

Where did you go? Here you have an example:

My last holiday was fantastic. I went to the mountains in a place called Salalah in Oman. The mountains were so green and the people were so friendly. I visited many places like, forts, beaches, the hotels at night and I also went shopping in the grand mall. I stayed there for 10 days. The weather was really nice and it was great for camping. Therefore, we went camping on the mountains and made a small fire for a barbacue.

Now it is your turn! Good luck!
