10th December

Hello everybody!

Hope you are not struggling with this magnificent windy weather!!!

This is what we did in today's class:

- Oral presentation by Almudena
- Oral pair work (skills related vocabulary, unit 7). We worked on how to develop strategies for our oral exams, what are our strengths and our weaknesses.
- Invictus activity. As Nelson Mandela sadly passed away last week, we worked on some activities from the movie Invictus.

As agreed in class, I'm leaving you an activity from the movie.
Watch this clip from the movie and complete the activities below:

Answer these questions: In what way was Mandela’s job similar to Pienaar’s? What was the atmosphere during the conversation? What did Mandela want to find out? Does Pienaar agree with Mandela on the subject of inspiration? What was Mandela trying to make Pienaar see with his memories of his prison days? How did Mandela react when he visited Barcelona during the Olympic Games? What is Mandela’s final statement to Pienaar?

Match these parts of the conversation: Mandela Francois You have a very difficult job a.- A poem? How do you inspire your team? b.- It makes complete sense to me I found inspiration in a poem. c.- But not compared to yours You don ́t want to hear me speak about things that make no sense d.- By example.
