B1 - File 8 (and fourth part)

Dear Students,

Today we are going to do File 8B Part 4.

Open your books on page 135. 7 Vocabulary. We are going to do Word-building, Part 1. Look at exercise a: the nouns come from the verbs compensate, complain and pay.

Now you need to go page 236. WORD-BUILDING. The first exercise is about making nouns from verbs. There are some endings like -ation and -ment. Other words don't have a common ending. Pls do ex a. Find the key in the Folder below. It's very important to listen to the recording, as the stress pattern often changes. Then, repeat them. Now do ex c. Check your answers on the Key.
The second part of the Word-building will be studied in a later lesson.

Go back to p 135. We'll do the 8 Video Listening. You can find these two videos on your Online Practice. In them we'll learn how to complain efficiently and politely.

Watch Part 1 and do ex c. Were you correct at guessing them?
Now watch Part 2. For the three situations see what he does wrong and how he can do it better. Check your answers on the Key in the Folder.

Now, I would like you to practice a role play in which you have to complain and/or deal with the complaints. In the Folder you will find Worksheet 8B Communicative, I want to speak to the manager. As in class, it would be ideal to find a partner to speak to and get some speaking practice. There is a similar exercise on pages 181 and 185. Look for 8B. I want to speak to the manager.

Remember that you also have the Workbook pages (p 138) and the Online Practice. Access with your code and do the extra exercises that you consider you need. Don't forget to do the Listening Comprehension and the part For Speakers of Spanish. Also I recommend you look at File 8 of your Pocket Book for Speakers of Spanish. Also try to complete the extra exercises in the Folders on the previous posts.
