Day 7: We return to the presence, thank goodness.

organization of activities.

Well, the teacher told us about the organization of the activities that we are going to perform in the second court and then about the disagreement that some had regarding their grades.. even mentioned that some colleagues asked to remove the blog The teacher commented that the blog post is a gift and an opportunity for the student to get a better grade than he owns, also explained again how we should organize for the realization of our blog to avoid getting a bad grade for delay or disinterest since after all the blog is worth 30% of the grade of the course.

He also mentions that the 3 notes are very important (Platform, blog and interview) and also that those who have the platform use is in their favor to be able to practice and improve in English since the practice makes us much more skilled. 

After making these points clear we started Unit 3

What services do you get on...? (Possible question from the upcoming interview?) 

Hairdresser - make nails / cut hair

Car wash - car wash

Dry cleaning - deliver a mail package

Servientrega - deliver a parcel of mail

causatives

Object someone // object something (passive causatives) (que) 

Causatives verb + object + verb (base, infinitive or past participle) 

Then the teacher showed us a video where they can better exemplify the causatives:

Nuestra bella profesora vuelve a retomar el tema para aclarar más acerca de los causatives

He invited us to create our own prayers with the use of the causative (honestly I felt distracted, I’m not being very participatory as I should :/) 

Examples of my colleagues: 

I Have the post man deliver a package  

Example of the teacher in time that someone made us do something:

My mom made me do the homework

My parents wanted me to study social work. 

We started to choose whether to use the to next to the verb or not.

E incluso nos puso una canción de Rihanna (I want to stay) para identificar si hay causative en su letra

We do another activity of choosing two options.

Do my nails: (Que) (object => something) past participle // Passive causative = I have my nails done 

Deliver (my package) I have my package delivered. 

Another activity related to the central theme of the class similar to the previous one we did (only with different sentences)

good at. I was a little late with keeping informed what happened last class because I had some quite personal problems that hurt me a little emotionally but well, here I am :)
