CHRISTMAS DINNER: MAIN DISH

                                                                                                             

                                                                                                                               

On December 25th – just a few days ago- most families in Spain celebrated Christmas Day, and, hopefully, gathered round a table.

A couple of previous posts on the blog focused on Christmas: 'Christmas Dinner: Starters' and 'Christmas Dinner: Desserts'.

I hope you  had a wonderful Christmas Day and find this presentation interesting.

CHRISTMAS DINNER: DESSERTS

Christmas Dinner:       Desserts

Just as a year ago I uploaded *Christmas Dinner: Starters,  today I am uploading Christmas Dinner: Desserts, since desserts are of the essence on any Christmas table in my country.In spite of the variety of desserts -there are are many kinds of dessert as regions there are in Spain- some of them have become so popular that are enjoyed in every corner or Spain.

This presentation consists of two parts. First, there is a matching exercise suitable for A1/A2  students (beginners and pre-intermediate students); then, you will find a text to be read, followed by some comprehension questions, suitable for B1/B2 students (intermediate and upper-intermediate students). 

I do hope you find it useful.

1492: 10 SPANISH WORDS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. KEY

1492: 10 SPANISH WORDS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE (1)

The year 1492  meant not only the Discovery of the New World, new lands, new cultures and peoples, but also a turning point for the world languages: these New World languages have shaped the English language mainly through Spanish, the language of the first navigators and explorers.

October 12th celebrates the arrival of Christopher Columbus in America: Columbus Day or Día de la Hispanidad, depending on the country.  

On the eve of October 12th, I am posting this presentation focused on 10 Spanish words that stemming from native American languages have shaped the English language as well.

This learning resource is addressed to A1/A2 students. 
As a suggested procedure, the students may look at the pictures, read the words on top,  and then circle the right word for each picture. Afterwards, they could read the definitions on the last slide, and try to match each definition with a picture. 
Find the key @http://maribelmiroenglish.blogspot.com.es/2017/10/1492-10-spanish-words-in-english_12.html
Shortly I will be posting an activity addressed to B1/B2 students.
I hope you find this a helpful resource.
