ATM MACHIME

                       

An ATM machine is a device outside banks that dispenses money when a personal coded card is used by means of a PIN (personal identification number.) 

When you are in a foreigner country it is a fearful experience if you are not accustomed to using it. 

We are going to practise operating it in a realistic simulation. Steps include: 

• inserting an ATM card,
• entering your PIN,
• choosing a transation type,
• choosing an account,
• checking your balance,
• withdrawing money, 
• completing transation,
• and taking your card and receipt back.

Safe ATM practices are covered as well.

A Christmas Carol

                                     

The wealthy Ebenezzer Scrooge is a miserable man, while his poor employee, Bob Cratchit, is a happy guy with a virtuous disposition and a loving family.

Scrooge undergoes a great emotional change one Christmas Eve through the assistance of three ghosts. Each ghosts represents some form of loss. The Ghost of Christmas Past represents the lost innocence and kindness Scrooge endures in a difficult childhood and young manhood. The Ghost of Chirstmas Present represent the love and felloship Scrooge is losing in his current life. 

Scrooge experiences a change of heart while he reviews Christmas memories and once again discovers what it is like to feel and live in the spirit of love, kindness, and giving. 

An animated retelling of this wonderful Charles Dickens' classic is released by Disney in 2009. Jim Carrey stars a multitude of roles including Scrooge and the three ghosts who haunt him.

We will watch and listen the trailer for the movie and solve an easy listening activity about it.

ON BEING FAT

                                                  

The world we live in wants us to want to be thin. There are a whole of industries built on our insecurity. They are rubbish! We know being fat is not good for our health but we cannot believe that thin and beautiful equals happy. That industry wants us to believe that we are only worthy of love, and life, if we are beautiful. And beautiful people just are not fat...

Just in case you are following a diet right now and you are not happy, try this at home: meanwhile be fat and happy and blow people's minds! And take it easy!!

Losing weight is not a thing of a day. So, be unapologetically fat. Wear a bikini or a sexi swimming suit, and mean it. Eat pizza and ice-cream from time to time and enjoy it. Drink up your life and a bottle of wine, and make no apologies.

Lose weight little by little because it is healthy not because thin industries. Be HAPPY!

THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO

          

After reading this awesome book with my students, I discovered it was difficult for them to learn about so many characters the book has. That's why I prepared this Power Point Presentation to help them to understand and pick up all about the people involved in the story. 

I hope it will be useful for you!!
