E1 1º Business English:

What we did in class on Monday: Worksheet 2.3 + activity on 2 articles from The Guardian. Student A (Britain's five richest families...) had to identify 10 words they didn't understand, look up the definition -choose the right one according to the context of course- and then create an exercise similar to the vocab-searching activity we normally do on articles from The Economist, i.e. providing the type of word between brackets e.g. (noun) and the definition for each word (without disclosing the word of course). Student B did the same with their article (A boost for Childcare...).

Here are the details of the account: businessenglishicade@gmail.com / password: ask Rafa if you don't remember it. Hint: it collocated with mazo... ;)

Homework forMonday: Go to google docs. Enter the document in question and update it with one of your words (make sure it isn't already in the list) along with its definition (check that the definition you are including is the right one i.e. that it fits the context of the article it comes from). Use the same layout.
