DEAR STUDENTS:

THIS WAS OUR LAST CLASS BEFORE OUR WINTER HOLIDAYS.
WE STARTED CHECKING  HOMEWORK USING MODALS TO EXPRESS POSSIBILITY
THEN,WE HAD A SPECIAL CLASS.
FIRST, OMAYMA AND VICTOR  IMPROVISED A RADIO SHOW WITH INTERVIEWS AND PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT SPORTS.THEY WERE ONLY TWO BUT THEY DID IT QUITE WELL. WE RECORDED THE AUDIO FOR THAT ACTIVITY.
AFTER THAT,ALVARO AND JULIO MADE A SPEECH ABOUT MUSIC: ORIGINS, DIFFERENT STYLES . THEY EVEN HAD PREPARED THE SOUNDTRACK TO ILUSTRATE THE SPEECH. IT WAS VERY INTERESTING..... AND WE RECORDED THEM IN VIDEO. I`LL UPLOAD THEM BOTH. 
OSCAR AND DAN  WERE ABSENT, SO THEY WILL HAVE TO GIVE THEIR CLASS AFTER HOLIDAYS. THE SAME WILL GO FOR ANGEL, WHO COULDN´T JOIN VICTOR AND OMAYMA FOR THE CLASS.
 THE CLASS WAS A NICE SUPRISE, BUT YOU CAN STILL DO A LOT MORE!!!

 MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY  HOLIDAYS!
ALVARO WILL POST THE AUDIO BUT UNFORTUNATELLY,IAM NOT ABLE TO POST THE VIDEO. I´LL KEEP ON TRYING
