as I promised ...

here is the review of our last English class. Not exactly on time (it would be better to write it on the same weekend) but much better compared to my last entry :D

We started with an eye-opener: Martin (our teacher) asked us to write down the topics we can remember from our last lesson (which was 3 weeks before). And surprise, surprise, only one of us (Bob) was able to do what was asked.

And why?

Because Bob was the only one who has made notes of what we did during the last lesson.

What's the consequence?

Martins order: We have to buy a book, label it with the word "ENGLISH" (like in the primary shool) and make notes in it during the upcoming lessons - so we can remember the learned topics even after a few days and weeks.


After that, Martin (the pupil ;-)) held a very good presentation about HAVE TO, MUST, MUST NOT and DON'T HAVE TO. I think now it's clear to all of use when to use which form (hopefully - because otherwise it could be expensive).

During the last hour of the lesson we learned some useful techniques for successful "social english". But be careful: Successful "social english" largely depends on the culture of the involved people. So it's very important to know the cultural differences between the foreign country and yours.

Unfortunately we didn't have time left to play the "cultural game", it would have been much fun. But, maybe the next time.

So long, hope you didn't get bored, cu,
