SELF-STUDY GUIDE
Week 1-3

Teacher: Carlos Mario Gómez Roenes

Welcoming paragraph:

Hi students,
First and foremost, thank you all for attending classes and letting me be your
guide in the English learning process. Thanks also for being part of this new
online process. I know it’s a new challenge and it could be in the beginning
difficult but I know we all will pass through it succeeding at the end.
Methodology:

 As you already know we will be developing our classes online. For which
we will be using the platforms Teams and Ferrum.
 I will schedule meetings every week through the platform Teams.
 I will upload all the information regarding the classes on Ferrum.
 We will develop our classes in 10 weeks. Each week we will work on a
different communicative subject.
 Every three weeks I will share with you on Ferrum a self-study guide, such
as this one, with different activities in order for you to work on
autonomously. The guide is divided in 4 stages.

Stage 1: Warm-up.
Stage 2: Topic presentation.
Stage 3: Practice. INTERACT App
Stage 4: Project.

 We will cover each aspect of the guide each week on our meeting on
Teams.

Hi Marilia,
It’s my birthday next Saturday, June 4th. I’m having a party at my house from 2 until 6. Can you come? I hope so. It’s going to be a lot
of fun.
We are going to decorate the house with balloons and streamers. At the party we are going to play games and after that we are going to
have birthday cake and ice-cream. I’m going to have a DJ too so there will be great music and dancing.
Please let me know if you can come. Hope to see you on Saturday.
