misunderstanding : when you understand something wrong, far away the real meaning.

 be both...and : similar . ex:They  can be both amusing and annoying.

gesture: Move some parts of you body(hands mainly) while you speak

nod: Shake you head saying yes.

                  DANGER: If you are from Bulgaria or you feel confused after this explanation because in you country nod means" no"  and shake you head means "yes" this is a clear type of misunderstanding, so for most Europeans (and probably most of the world) NOD means YES and SHAKE YOUR HEAD means no ( Although this have not to worry you, in fact I find this amusing)

Geography. Second Therm

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
How was you Christmas guys? How did your 2017 start? Did you have a good time?

My Christmas were just amazing! I hope you have new energy to continue learning!

Here are my geography homework. I had to watch a video ( click here to watch it ,) and then answer the question.


ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS

1. Where in the world is Africa?
2. How many times is Africa larger than The United States?
3. How is the savanna defined in the video?
4. Which animals can be found in the savanna biome?
5. Where is located the chaparral biome in Africa?
6. Which are the most famous deserts in Africa?
7. The main natural resources mentioned in the video are .....

1-Africa is the continent located in the south of Europe and shout-west of Asia.




2-Africa is 30 million square kilometres (11,7 million square miles) which is 3 times the size of the United States.






3-The Savanna are the wide open grasslands of Africa, is a grassy plain which cover nearly half of the continent The Savanna is characterised by scattered trees among a landscape of grasses and shrubs .

The coloured part is the Savanna.


4- In the Savanna biome we can found: are the giraffes and elephants, animals that are usually associated with Africa.




5-The chaparral biome is located in the north coast of Africa long the Mediterranean and some in Shouth Africa too.

The green part is where Chaparral is located.


6-The most famous deserts are the Sahara desert (The hottest desert in the world), the Namib desert and the Kalahari desert

7-The natural resources of Africa are the gold mines, the robber trees and the oil.

FIND THE MISSING WORDS

1. Africa runs 5 000 miles from the Mediterranean sea all the way down to The cape of Good Hope in South Africa and 4 600 miles from Cape Verde all the way over to Somalia
2. Biomes are climate zones and throughout that area, throughout that region you can see the same average temperatures and average precipitation what that means is that you also see very similar plants and animals living in that region.
3. The most famous desert in Africa is, of course, the Sahara desert. Now, some parts of the Sahara desert are sandy , like you can see here. Other parts of the Sahara desert are rocky but in either case, the fact that it is very dry is going to make it a very difficult period to cross.
4. It is not the rain itself that’s particularly important, it’s also the biodiversity There are many different plants and animals spices That can be found in the rain forest and that’s one of the thing that makes the rain forest so valuable not just in Africa but throughout the Earth.
5. The Nile is the most famous river in Africa, because is the longest river in the world. But there is also the Congo river which is the ninth longest river in the world.
6. Africa actually has its own version of the Great Lakes with famous lakes like Lake Malawi, lake Victoria and lake Tanganyika as well.
7. All the Africa is a plateau. Meaning that Africa itself is an elevated land. But that doesn’t mean you can’t find any mountains in Africa. You can find mountain ranges like, for example, the Atlas Mountains in northwestern Africa.
8. Africa also has some interesting mountains like Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa which seems to just rise on it own out of the ground
9. The Great Rift Valley refers to a region of Africa that is literally, being split apart. There are some tectonic plates that are located within or near Africa, that are, actually, moving away from each other, and what’s doing is creating not just some of the highest elevation in Africa, but also lakes like Lake Tanganyika that is among the deepest in the world.

Hope I can help you!

Self-Assessment

Here are some question I have to answer about my studies and my blog!

• What can I do that I couldn't do before?
• What did I like most?
• What are my greatest strengths and weaknesses?
• What did I do well?
• What am I confused about?
• What do I need help with?
• What did I do in English outside the class?
• What do I need to improve?
• What did I learn about culture?

Right know I can use a lot of new vocabulary and expressions  that I didn't know before! Also I have new grammatical structures very useful! Perhaps, what I most like are the projects with groups, because we had to decided a lot of things together ; with no dudes my favourite project is "Not stop the feeling" (The third question is really complicated) I think I'm always better speaking than writing, because while I'm writing I think a lot about the corrects structures and that produces me a lot of question that I don't have while I'm speaking, also I love the listening and the translations activities because  is not only translate the sentences , is thinking about them and who says in a correct way! To be honest I don't really know what I do well. I'm pretty confused in some grammatical structures because in the writings are in the correct way, but then when you hear in the natives English person (in Spain we do this too) they change that structures making an easier way to communicate .Another things are the adverbs , some have to be situated at the begginnig but others at the end! and of course some prepositions like at, in, on, of,

What a mess!

About culture our English book is very useful! I learnt some Australia or New Zeland traditions , how to make a blockbuster or how an exchange is!!!!
