Stories

Do you remember your interesting literature display?
Some time ago you brought to your English lesson an item connected with you and literature. Many showed to us your favourite books. But what is a fable?

Use 2-3 different sources to find information on the topic to be able to join the class discussion on Tuesday. Bring with you notes and examples. Think also about Slovenian fables. Don't forget to note down your sources.

(Postcard by Ronald Searle from 1975)

Time expressions in my life

I went shopping on Saturday afternoon. I didn't spend a lot.
I haven't seen my students since Friday...

Choose some of the time expressions below (at least 5) and write sentences about your life:

1. on Saturday afternoon
2. since 7.30 this morning
3. since Friday
4. yesterday
5. last month
6. up till now
7. in July 2007
   
8. for more than three years
9. last night
10. for 10 days

If you want, you can change the time expressions (e. g. numbers, days, months...) or even add your own ones.
I hope you can do this task by the end of this week.
