Homework

Okay, so this blog is suffering from lack of use! This evening in class we will look at how to access the blog and start making use of it. The blog is an ideal way of doing the required homework for the class and generally expressing what problem areas you have with English. I am hoping with use you and your teachers you will be able to see your progress expressing ideas in written English. Another benefit is that it isn't just up to me to review you homework, you can correct each other, other teachers and staff at the school can also help.
Previously your homework has been to regularly read the books you have selected and write about the story.
This weeks homework will be to write your assignment and either email it to me or post it straight on the blog.

Assignment:
Write about the main character. Do you identify with the character, ie do you find there are things you like or dislike about them? What are those likes and/or dislikes?
Does the character remind you of yourself or people you know and in what way?
Please write in sentences and paragraphs, write approximately as much as this blog, and more if you want to. It is a good idea to write in Notepad, Word, so you have a copy you can save. Then cut and paste it into the blog or email.

Gabriela, you are working in your new job. (present simple).
To say since some time, you need to use present perfect simple or continuous.
I have been working at my new job since last monday. or I have worked at my new job since last monday.
So, she taught me how to work with the kids. Teach is an irregular verb.
I hope you continue to enjoy working with the kids, Chris.

I'm reading a very interesting book. It's "the picture of Dorian Gray" from Oscar Wilde. Dorian Gray is a beautiful, very awesome, gracious young man. Basil is the painter.The first 30 pages are about the benefits of the beauty. Lord Henry, an old man and a painter's firend, thinks that beauty is the most valuable goods on Earth. For him, it's better to be beautiful than intelligent. Since he saw the fabulous picture which is simply perfect, he's wanted to meet Dorian Gray and know him. He is enthralled by so much beauty.
