Hello
everybody! I hope you´re doing great and I have the last task for you :) I also
hope to see you on Wednesday because I haven ´t seen you or heard from you for a
long time. I just want to talk about your experience with online teaching and
our lessons at school and say goodbye in case I won´t be able to see you in person.
Meet is on Wednesday 17th June 2pm, the link was here
Since this is the last week of ´´teaching´´ I
want it to be about you. Have a look at your handout and I´ll be waiting for
your email. >>> handout
June 8-12
Hello everyone! First of all Fingers Crossed and Good Luck to everyone doing the exams and second, one word this week: challenge (more info in the file). If you´re doing the exams and feel too exhausted for doing another thing, you can simply write an email to me about your experience with the exams :)
June 1 - 5
Hi guys, this week I have two words for you: Movie Workout
Step 1 choose a film in English with English subtitles
Step 2 prepare a piece of paper and copy or print ´´instruction handout´´ (make sure you understand the vocabulary)
Step 3 watch the film and make notes (lines)
Step 4 pause your film after 10/15/20 minutes (it´s up to you to decide) and do all the exercises
Step 5 cross the lines for exercises you did and move on until you finish your film
Step 6 send me an email, tell me how you liked this activity and attach a picture of your notes
May 25 - 29
Hello everyone, since there was no-one who sent me the New Zealand task, I think it would be great to give you another try. There is reading, listening, quite a lot of interesting vocabulary and a bit of writing too. I hope you´ll enjoy it!
May 18 - 22
Hello! This week I hope you´ ll have some fun with Songs.
Follow the steps and send me your results, I hope you´ll enjoy it and I´ll discover some great songs thanks to you! If I were you I would break this down into doing steps 1-3 in the first session, then steps 4 - 6 in the second session and finally step 7!
Step 1 think about a song you like in English and you enjoy listening to it
Step 2 listen and actually try to write down lyrics without looking at the text (in your exercise book)
Step 3 check the lyrics
bonus: if
you can find your song here, try different levels
Step 4 try to figure out what the song is about and
write 8-10 sentences about it, you might find something here
Step 5 translate the song (in your exercise book) to Czech and then check it online, compare and dis/agree
Step 6 write an email to me about the process and your song (you can take a photo of your notes), it would be great if you could mention what surprised you when translating, what have you learned or what is still not clear
Step 7 sing and practice pronunciation...and I mean it,
focus on the pronunciation, take this as a good practice :)
May 11 - 15
Hello everyone! I hope you´re doing fine but I know it´s tough for you. Trust me, I´m thinking about you and I just want to express my support. Moreover I do hope we´ll have a chance to see each other towards the end of June. Keep calm and carry on :)
This week I have an activity sheet about New Zealand for you - there is reading, listening, quite a lot of interesting vocabulary and a bit of writing too. Have fun!
TIP: My colleague, Mrs. Štefaňáková, set up a GC for CREATIVE WRITING, feel free to try it in Czech or English, the code is iwzsuw5 :)
May 4 - 8
This week, you have the opportunity to work on your OBOROVÁ PRÁCE (PROJECT PAPER) and to send your annotation for checking (if it´s in English of course) :)

April 27 - 30
Hello guys! Isn´t great that we´re done with
everything that you needed to do this school year?
I´ve been thinking about what to do next and decided that this week we´re doing listening. Choose one level and do all parts. Your level should be at least A2, I think majority of you can manage B1, but some of you could even go for B2 for sure. Let me know what you decide for and send me your results (use the solution and transcript)! Have fun!
I think
that a great challenge would be to start from A2 and get to B1 and then B2 over the
week, but it´s up to you.

English. Contact me if you need to consult or help with anything. I really want
to support you so that we can see the best of you :)
Procedure for this week:
- think about/find your specific topic
- do some research, make notes
- organize your notes, prepare the text
- send me the text (can be bullet points)
Instructions:
- there will be pictures (it can be a series of pictures, ppt or whatever you come up with)
- 7-10 minutes of speaking + 5 minute follow up (answering questions, discussion)

Next week, we´re going to work on visuals, your questions and
adjustments of the texts and the week after, we´ll have an online lesson with
