We had a lot of fun at english class today. We did different kinds of stuff, which I'm going to tell them to you all. We watched a video on YouTube about the Zumba dance. It's a mixture of hip hop, salsa and other dance styles. All around the world, the Zumba teachers teach the same choreography, which is very interesting. We were also talking about healthy life, that people should have. We learned, that a normal healthy person doesn't eat a lot and does the exercises often. We learned, that if you want to loose weight, you mustn't sit around all day and watch TV or play computer games. You should help around the house, eat fewer sweets and go for a bike ride time to time. I really liked the today's lesson, because it was just awesome and it taught us a lot. I hope that more lessons will be similar to today's lesson.

Today we started the lesson with listening to a text in our course books. The text was about a boy, named Mike, who was very fat and that’s why he went to a weight-loss camp. There they had a lot of sport activities and they ate healthy so on the end Mike lost 54lb, which is about 24 kg.

 

 After that the teacher gave us two worksheets which were related to the text. On the first one there were questions like: Where in the text does it say that Mike ate too much for breakfast?

And you had to write the sentence from the text which explains that Mike ate too much for breakfast and that sentence is: “…and he stuffed himself with three breakfasts.”

On the second worksheet you had to write a word from the text which explains or has the same meaning as the word or sentence which was already written on the worksheet. For example: The word on the worksheet: Difficult; the word from the text that has the same meaning: Tough. On the end the teacher also gave us some homework: WB page 50, 51/ exercises 12, 13 and 14.
