4º B Reported Speech I

Hello everybody!
This week we start a new unit. It's about food and reported speech. What is it? It means "estilo indirecto" and is used when we tell someone what someone else has said. Here are two websites where you can do some practice. Some sentences cannot be done because they are high level, but the rest are OK for you.

3º A fashion and parts of the body

Helloooooooooooo!
This week we start a new unit. It's about fashion. Do you like clothes? How often do you buy them? Notice that "clothes" is plural. Can we say "I bought a cloth yesterday"? Yes, of course, but only if you mean "paño" or "trapo". Remember! Clothes is always plural.

Here you have a worksheet on clothes. Unfortunately, you can't watch the video but the other activities are very interesting.
