Last week's lesson

Dear Students,

During last week's lesson in the computer room,  I was happy to see that you finished the grammar part so quickly (although the online quiz was not perfect!). It was good that we were in the computer room, because after the grammar lesson, you could easily practice the "Green Street" summary using online bilingual dictionaries, while we discussed the writing techniques together.

To practice gerunds and infinitives with stop, try, remember etc., let's write about traveling and make sentences like these:

On the way home...
On the way to (a place, a city)...

I'll go first.
On the way home today, I saw a strange guy in the Metro. At the end station, he tried to say goodbye to all the passengers, but nobody would speak to him!
On the way to Prague in the train this summer, the Spanish passengers in my compartment almost never stopped talking! Sometimes they stopped to play with their Blackberry, but most of the time they talked and talked.

Now it's your turn...
