Year 9 Class Log 2011/2012
This is an experimental blog written by students of OS Medvode, year 9. Every English lesson in the school year 2011/2012 will be described by two different pupils (one from the 3rd and one from the 2nd level group) in order to practice writing skills and have a better overview of what is going on in class. All non-offensive comments regarding the posts' content and this blog's concept are welcome.

Hello,
Today, there was nothing special at the English lesson. The teacher mostly completed our grades and graded the students who hasn't been graded yet. Those people were Zala, Jaka, Jakob and some others students I don't remember. Other students were either listening to what teacher was grading, or they were just talking about random stuff, like where're they going for vacation. When the lesson almost started, the teacher said to me that I need to write one more blog post and two more comments to get a better grade. So, here I am, writing a blog post.
Hello!
Now I will write something about learning tips we know many learning tips I will describe just the most frequent and successful learning tips:
The visual learner
Do you need to see your teacher during lessons in order to fully understand the content of a lesson?
Do you prefer to sit at the front of the classroom to avoid visual obstructions (e.g. people's heads)?
Do you think in pictures and learn best from visual displays including: diagrams, illustrated text books, overhead transparencies, videos, flipcharts and hand-outs?
During a lecture or classroom discussion, do you prefer to take detailed notes to absorb the information?
!Learning Tip - you may benefit from taking part in traditional English lessons, but maybe private lessons would be better.
The auditory learner
Do you learn best through verbal lectures, discussions, talking things through and listening to what others have to say?
Do you interpret the underlying meanings of speech through listening to tone of voice, pitch, speed and other nuances?
Does written information have little meaning until you hear it?
!Learning Tip - you may benefit from listening to the radio or listening to text as you read it. You could try reading text aloud and using a tape recorder to play it back to yourself.
The Tactile/Kinesthetic learner
Do you learn best through a hands-on approach, actively exploring the physical world around you?
Do you find it hard to sit still for long periods?
Do you become distracted easily?
!Learning Tip - you may benefit from taking an active part in role plays or drama activities.

Hello!
I saw that are almost all of the posts already commented (except the one from Mojca (there is no mistakes)) so I decided to write post except of the comment. I will write about pages where you can learn English ''free''. I saw many different pages and realized that some of them are very boring. On other pages you can learn a lot about English on interesting and a fun way. But you have to work every day and work hard if you want to learn a lot of English. For our class I think the most suitable page is for improving English. On this page there are some strategies how to improve your English : http://www.learnenglish.de/improvepage.htm
And here are few rules for improving English:

And here are few rules for improving English:
- Join an English course - a virtual one or a real one (and attend regularly).
- Do your homework.
- Read a book or a comic every month.
- Learn a new word every day.
- Visit an English speaking forum every day.
- Read a news article on the net every day.
- Do 10 minutes listening practice every day.
- Watch an English film at least once a month.
- Follow a soap, comedy or radio or TV drama.

31 May / Vid Čarman
Today we had not-that-interesting lesson. The lesson started when the teacher came in the class and she said she's going to start grading the booklets. Firstly, she opened her notebook and showed us what grades we have from our comments on the blog, blog posts, homeworks and other stuff. Then she started grading. She graded only a few people: Jaka, Tomaž, Rok Mohorič and maybe also someone else, but I don't remember. Meanwhile, we had to finish our booklets if we haven't yet and do tasks from the coursebook.
