Greetings, y'all! Surprised to see me back so quickly? Just like I've mentioned before, there will be more frequent blogs, each every week! So I will quickly take you through all the endeavors we did during the last week in AEP. Buckle up and let's get started!
We started the first class of the week with a warmup game, as usual; Diffle. As challenging diffle might have seemed along with the strict time limit, we have grown quite accustomed to it. After the warm-up, there was time for the dreaded vocab quiz. One by one went in front of the board and spun a wheel of words and had to state their meanings and use them in a sentence. Adrenaline rushed in me as the quiz began, and I desperately prayed not to forget what I studied. Luckily, my word was "guise" and I knew the answer. By the end of the quiz, most of us had passed with a high score!
After the quiz was over, we were given to write the same IELTS Task 1 essay on British students from our last meeting. This time, while I was answering I could think a lot smoother than before and my writing came out pretty organized! There is still a lot to improve on in my writing and I am pretty sure it can be achieved over time and practice
The next day AEP started with another intriguing warmup game; EvilWordle. The game deceives you about the placement of letters, making it difficult to get the correct answer. However, we were able to solve it quickly. Later, Miss Disa taught us how to improve our essay-writing skills by using the chunking method to paraphrase essay prompts. We learned that we can turn verbs into nouns by adding -ing to them. Overall, it was a productive day where we learned many new ways to start an essay. We still had some time left, so we proceeded to do oral on DOGONews. The article that we read was about hammerhead sharks and was quite fascinating. Did you know these sharks use their gills to stay warm in the cold, deep ocean? After reading the whole article 2 sentences per person, we went around stating one point from it.
Overall, I can say AEP is continuing just how I had expected. So much productive and fun as ever! Looking forward to the upcoming week.
Till the next vlog, Goodbye!

ReplyDeleteby the way I think you can make NOUNS into VERBS by adding -ing.
