the 9th grade


Hi, my dear 9th grade!
I'm really satisfied with our today's work, all of you were so active! Obviously, our lesson was productive, hope you like it as much as I do_)))

Let me remind you that today we worked with the article, titled "What's in a name?"

I gave you a few new words (all of them you can find in this article), don't forget to make up sentences with them.

I also gave you these expressions:

 It is a proven fact that…

 It goes without saying…

 It is/ It is not common practice to…

 It is (especially) true about/that…

 Needless to say that…

 You may not like it but…

 You might be surprised how many…

 The reason for it is…

 This depends on…

 Moreover…

 However…

 On the positive/negative side…

 On the one hand…on the other hand…

 It is one thing to…but it is another thing to…

At last, you are to find out the meaning of your name and explain it in English.

Don't forget about your own texts and questions.

Next two lessons we will totally dedicate to discusion, that's why you must learn by heart all those expressions that I gave this time.
