PRONUNCIATION: Como la chica americana que nos ayuda a pronunciar a veces desaparece o no nos dice nada (se ve que tiene horarios de trabajo, como todo el mundo), os pongo otro enlace para ver la pronunciación de las palabras o frases que queráis. Esta chica se llama Kate y es inglesa, pero no tenemos su foto, sólo su voz. Tenéis que escribir el texto y abajo pinchar en play. Te pide que abras un archivo, lo abres y escuchas lo que has escrito. Es un poco más lento que el otro método, pero también sirve. Probadlo. Podeis elegir personajes distintos también, con diferentes acentos. Podéis usarlo para escribir los verbos irregulares, uno debajo de otro y os los leerá todos juntos.
HOMEWORK: Pag. 38. Review exercises. Study the irregular past tenses. We'll have an exam, next Thursday. I give you the extra practice unit 3 sheet.

Next day we'll learn more irregular verbs and we'll start a new unit. See you.
