New project: Piktochart Countries in the World using 2nd Conditional

Good morning students,

After playing the games at eslgames.com, you will start working with your partner on a new project to practice the second conditional some more, and also to learn about different cities around the world.

Step 1. Think of places you want to visit in the world (places not in Colombia).

Step 2. Choose 3 different cities from around the world. Choose anywhere in North America, South America (but not in Colombia, we have already study Colombian cities in depth), Europe, Asia, Africa, and/or Australia with South Pacific Islands.

Step 3. Make a piktochart, saying what you would eat, drink, visit, and generally do if you went to these cities. Use the second conditional sentences and one photo for each of your cities.

For example, "If I went to Los Angeles, I would go to Disneyland, Knotsberry Farm, and Six Flags amusement parks.If I got the chance, I would surf at Huntington Beach. After that I would visit the Hollywood hills and try to meet Celebrities."

That is just one example for one of the cities. You need at least three different cities.

Step 4. Send your piktochart to me ---->  larisaspeers@gmail.com

 Have fun!

III. Read the article

World's Largest Pancake Breakfast -
A Local Legacy
When you think of pancakes you might think of the kind served in America, hot with melted butter and maple syrup. But in reality, people around the world love pancakes. As a result, there are lots of different kinds. In America, pancakes are made with buttermilk and served for breakfast. In Russia, pancakes are called blinis, and are made from buckwheat flour and often served with caviar and sour cream. The Chinese use wheat flour and hot water to make pancakes in dozens of ways. In France, pancakes come in the form of a lacy crepe. In India, there's the Gujarati pancake. Crispy and wafer-thin, it comes stuffed with spicy potatoes and yogurt. Did you know there were so many ways to make and serve pancakes?

In 1986, an event that bills itself as the World's Largest Pancake Breakfast was revived for the 350th anniversary of Springfield, Massachusetts. The breakfast has been held every year since then. Hundreds of volunteers help with the event. In 1999, more than 71,233 servings of pancakes were served to more than 40,000 people. If you stacked up all those pancakes, they'd be more than 2 miles high!

Videos to help you study the present perfect verb tense

1. A Lightspeed English video that uses both Spanish and English to review the basics (have / has + past participle) and practice pronunciation of past participles.

 Check out their youtube channel for more informative posts. 

2. A random, yet fun compilation of movie and TV clips where the present perfect is used. The clips are repeated twice halfway through the video.  

Practice your listening and speaking skills by repeating the phrases after the characters on the second time around.

3. A good explanation of "already", "yet", and "still" because we use these words with the present perfect tense a lot. 

Learning a new language is much easier when you put in the time and make it a fun challenge. Never be afraid to make mistakes or ask questions!
