Students scandalously did not do their homework, so they re-read the B1.1 Reading: Free Time reading comprehension exercise in class and proceeded to answer the questions they should have done for homework. (Positively scandalous.)
Students then did the B1.1 Listening: Free Time Activities exercise. For those of you who didn't come to class, please complete this listening exercise at home (as your mid-term listening test is coming up):
Students then completed the Bingo! speaking exercise (and we had loads of fun, so tough luck to those of you who didn't come to class).
Homework - B1.1 Writing: Nothing but Free Time
Write a piece about what you would do with your time if you won the lottery and why. The assignment should be 150-200 words long. Please write your name and class number (TP2) at the beginning of your assignment. Please see the coursebook for the due date.

Students started off by completing last class' speaking exercise:
B1.1 Speaking: Your Worst House-share/Flat-share experience
Get into groups of pairs and share your worst house-share/flat-share experiences. If you’ve never shared a house with anyone, describe the challenging aspects of sharing a home with your family or your partner.
They then went on to do the in-class writing exercise (and they were mostly very good!):
B1.1 In-class Writing: Your Best House-share/Flat-share experience
Write a short piece (half a page of A4 or a full page of A5) describing the best house-share/flat-share experience of your life. If you’ve never shared a house or flat with anyone, describe the best memories you have of sharing a home with your family or partner.
Students began reading the B1.1 Reading: Free Time reading comprehension exercise.
Homework:
Students must:
- finish reading B1.1 Reading: Free Time;
