Lesson Summary MARCH 22nd

Hi there!
On Thursday we were basically working on the houses copies I gave you. I'll email them to you so that you can follow what we are doing.

These are the activities we did:
- the vocabulary on the copy called 'Houses and decoration'.
- Then I gave you another copy called 'Houses' and we did almost all the exercises you had on it (vocabulary, Language patterns, Listening and developing conversation).
