5th class

At this class, the teacher corrected the exercises on page 6 about Past Perfect.
We started to talk about manners and etiquette. There are rules you must follow in specific situations.
  • How to greet people you do know or don't; Shaking hands, with two or three, or even four kisses on the cheek, hugging, bowing;
  • When you are eating, that it is called "table manners". In some places, it's a good sign to belch after the meal because it means you are satisfied, but it's not so good to use toothpicks;
  • What is "polite" to do or not to do like to arrive fifteen minutes late tops;
  • In some countries there are foods that you should avoid because it's a "taboo"; for instance, in India they don't eat meat because cows are considered divine beings. And we don't eat dogs in Brazil, but chinese people doesn't have problems with that. 
At the end, we made an exercise on page 8 that she already corrected.

I found this text related to this subject.

One last thing: our coleague gave us this wonderful website hint www.lyricstraining.com where you can practice completing the songs' words. Very good!
