Hello!

Today we´ve checked your homework on Glastonbury Festival video and done the quiz. After that you wrote a summary on it.
We´ve also listened to the rest of the Projects about your favourite singer/band. As I promised here are your points for Olympic Games (class 8):

Player 3 - 0
Player 4 - 6 points
Player 5 - 6 points

Today we´ve started a new topic "Sports" and we learnt a lot of kinds of sports (horse riding, surfing, gymnastics, running, jogging, hurdling, parachuting, kickboxing, martial arts etc.).

We also did some speaking where you talked about your preferences:
What´s you favourite sport?
What sport are you fond of watching on TV?
What sport are you good at?
What sport would you never consider trying? Why?

What are common and different things with you partner?
We both like/hate ...
Neither Alex nor I like ...
My partner is good at ..., but I am good at ...

Also we learnt sports equipment and places to do sports (a ball, a bat, poles, a wicket, skis, saddle, a goal, gloves, a club, a course, a pitch, a pool etc.).
What do you need to play golf? to ride a horse? to play cricket?

We also learnt the collocations "do, play and go" with different sports.
We use "play" for team sports and competetive sports (football, tennis, cricket).
We use "go" for the sports ending in -ing (swimming, running).
We use "do" for individual sports (judo, aerobics, yoga).

Your homework is to read a text about lacrosse, an unusual kind of sports, and to answer the questions. Also to write your own report about an unusual kind of sports (120-180 words).
