Knock Down



How to knock down a building. What else collocates with the phrasal verb knock down?


Jokes


First of all have a quick look at the vocab. in the picture. Notice that where the bit is between the horse´s teeth. Ok you noticed? When can you also use the word bit:Also what shape is the horse´s face long, round or short?                                                                                                                                                                       So you know that a lot of horsemeat has been found in beef, particularly beef burgers recently. Well Check out these two jokes on that subject:                                                                                                                              'I had a beefburger last night and I´ve still got a bit between my teeth.'                                                                                                     A cow walks into a bar and the barman says to it "why the long face?"
Pretty good right?

Access Exam.

Dear Alicia, Macarena, Maripaz, Manuel, Teresa (Radish), Judith.

Congratulations you have decided to take the access exam this year. The most important thing about Access is You Must Keep Up to Date with your Work. Really I can't emphasize enough HOW important is is to do the work every week. You can't just say:

         I didn't do the homework because I didn't come last class.

From now on all Access work will be posted on the blog. You must post your work in the comments section below, before the due date or it won't get marked.

To remind you of this please follow me on Twitter https://twitter.com/#%21/frightenedjose and I will remind you about new homework and tweet information that can help you in the exam.

So the first task is to type up the perfect letter of complaint. and post it at the bottom of the page.

Good luck.

Also you will soon be joined by Mario, Cristina, Maria (of the Eagle), Juan Diego, Teresa (Tere Aki), Maria (fighter) and Lucy.

Letters of Complaint - We fight for you!

  Letters of Complaint.

I have a new idea. For letters of complaint we could offer, via this website, the chance to write letters of complaint for people as an exercise in class. We can write on their behalf, and if we are good we could even charge for writing them. As a start lets take up my complaint against Orange and see how it goes.

Look at the link here:


Also if you have any complaints put them below in the comments section, lets use our time in English class doubly productively by learning English and complaining to companies.

Oh there is one minor problem, the Orange letter needs translating into Spanish. Could you do a paragraph each?
