Let's get serious- Say something

Today we are going to look at the first part of the national test- speaking!

It is, in one way, the simplest part of the test, but in another way it requires practice and strategies.

We are going to look at some training material for this exercise.

1. Information sheet
You will receive an information sheet with some instructions JUST BEFORE you do the test.

Use your time WISELY with your partner to decide how you will tackle the topic (ämne)

Today we have the easiest topic available (In the exam it will be more difficult)

Think of good linking phrases and words

Here is a very simple clip from Engvids to get you
 started


Obviously you will need to ask each other questions.
How do you make the simplest of questions
(do/did)?
What are the most common question words?
What? Why? How? Where? When? Who? How often? How much? 

We will try to do this task 2 x 2
and then hear some students who have been examined and recorded.

What was good or less good about their conversations?

On Friday we will deal with another topic more like in the way it will be done on the exam.

Good luck!

Borta bra men hemma bäst!

Well, we made it!

I really want to see Filippa's film from the trip.

Thanks for being so fantastic. You guys are amazing!

So, where do we go from here?

If would be really nice if we could complete the blog.

I have left the days free so that you can write a simple text and we can add some photos and videos.

Follow-up work
Don't forget to write up a journal for the trip.
What did we do? Where did we go? What did you think about it?
For example, do you remember where and when this picture was taken?

and this one?

Then we have the compendium.

Let's have a look at it together!

Finally, how are we going to share the knowledge and experience you have gained from the trip to Ireland with other people?

Day 7- Home sweet home

Day 6- From Wexford to Dublin

Day 5- Excursion in Wexford

day 4- at the school

DAG 3 - IRELAND - 2018-10-15

Today was our last day at Abigail's hostel. It was Alma's birthday, so after we had packed our stuff, we sang for Alma at the breakfast. From everybody, she got a card and two Triss. The class had prepared a gift, a book which she had wanted for a very long time, called Milk and Honey. 

 

We went to Trinity College but we got kicked out pretty fast. They didn't allow bigger groups to visit the college. But we had time to take some pictures anyways!

So we went to see the Molly Malone statue instead.

We took a small look in St. Stephen's Green Shopping Centre.

We only had time to go to one shop, Flying Tiger😂

After that, we took a walk in St. Stephen's Green Park.

We had some spare time where we in small groups went on our own adventures 😂

At half past eleven, we gathered at the entrance to St. Stephens Green Shopping Centre, before we went back to Abigail's Hostel to get our bags, and took a short stop at Tesco's to buy some lunch (meal deals).

It took about 2-3 hours to get to Wexford from Dublin by bus. In the bus, we got to see beautiful landscapes with mountains, grass fields and animals. We ate our lunch, talked and slept in the bus.

We arrived to beautiful Kilmore Quay at 3 or 4 pm. The weather was amazing and the houses were white and beautiful, so it felt like we were in another country, like Greece, instead of Ireland!

After we had gotten our rooms at Coast Kilmore Quay, we went down to the sea, where the bravest of us took a bath. Some of us collected sea shells at the beach.

We also visited the port to watch the fishing boats and the view.

When we had gotten back, we ate at the hostels restaurant, and were happily surprised by the food, which was amazing! Alma also got surprised with a birthday cake🎂

Happy Birthday!

Tomorrow, we'll be visiting the school, so now we have to go to bed. Goodnight!
