Topic: Recommendations.

 This was the first lesson of listening skill. To started with the lesson Teacher Maria José divided the class in pairs and gave each pair a letter soup.She explained what words we needed to find and this group recycled the vocabulary given for Charlie's group. This was an interesting activity because it helps us to remain the vocabulary of street food.

 After, Teacher Xiomara made the presentation stage in which divided the class in two teams giving them some papers, but before she had wrote on the board two categories that were about provide or accept recommendations. Each group had to match the paper in the correct categories. Then, teacher checked our answers and she presented the          vocabulary and the pronunciation of

each word giving us some examples of how to use the recommendations phrases.











After this activity, Teacher Paolo gave us a worksheet playing the audio and we had to listen the words that were missing on the sentences. Then, he checked our answers. For the production stage Teacher Adriana made pairs and she gave us a paper with the instructions for the mini role play activity. She asked a student to read the instructions for all of us,but before the students perform the mini role play , teachers gave us an example to develop our mini role play. This was a great point in the lesson because teachers gave us the tools to prepare our mini role play.After, Teacher Adriana asked teacher Maria Jose for a numbers and she gave them, the students had had a different number in the instruction paper and the pair that was mentioned had to perform the mini role play.

At the end, Teacher Maria Jose played the game "pass the ball" if a student had the ball when teacher stopped counting he had to take a paper of the box and asked the question. The lesson was meaningful and interesting. It had a lot of activities that were excellent for the students to practice the listening skill.
