Is anybody there? (missing homework)


Has anyone noticed that I completely forgot to write the homework for week 26?
Did anyone besides me read Norberta's latest contribution?
Is there anyone out there?

I hope you're not all tiring now that the weather is finally turning a bit (expression chosen carefully!) friendlier.

So, here are a few things you can do:

Go to the wiki and find the letter of complaint.
There you can improve on it or simply leave a comment about what changes that would need to be made and why. On second thought, this is a rather good idea! You get to be the experts. What all is wrong with it?

In the WB at the back there are several pages on word transformation.
Find negative words beginning with dis- and im-.
How many are there? Which ones didn't you know before?

Work on unit 12, including the writing task.

Finally, does anyone have any advice to give to the others? (it doesn't necessarily have to be related to the exam) Any wishes? Any bets on who our dear Norberta wanted to be Mr. Switzerland???

the opposite of a dull saturday evening

It has really been a long time now since I have written something on our blog. So I do not want to withhold you from this special evening spent in Sedrun.

As always when I am at my parents home, we like to spoil each other by cooking special meals and drinking a good bottle of wine. It happened therefore, that I was lying lazyly streched out on a warm stove after a delicious meal my head feeling dizzy. Against our plan to go to the village having another cup of wine with friends, my sister and I decided to spend the Saturday evening at home.

When we had a look at the TV program, we noticed that there was nothing else than the Mr. Switzerland event life on our screen!

Except the show beeing boring and the presenter making jokes no one laughed about, it was quite funny. We enjoyed looking at these self-confident young men. It was great fun to watch them posing self-convinced in front of all the spectators. And we had a good laugh seeing them walk and dance robotically for whole Switzerland.

We started to guess which of the candidates would arrive up to the final. How relieved we were about some beeing send home. And how sad I was, when the jury decided to end my favourite's carreer as a Mr. Switzerland...

But I won't reveal my secret...

Have fun guessing and looking forward to seeing you tomorrow evening!
