Hi Guys, Here is my short story of how I met my husband. I hope you enjoy it! I met my husband on a Christmas day, on an airplane, in 1999. I had never been to Natal before, and I was going to spend my vacation in there. I was going with three friends, but two of my friends missed the plane, so I ended up sitting next to Henrique. We started talking and we found out that I had already met his sister and his brother, but I hadn´t met him. Henrique and I had a friend in common, who is actually a teacher at CTJ, Angela May. Henrique was actually going to Canavieiras in Bahia, he was going to stay at Angela's father's house.When we came back from our vacation we tried to meet many times,but it never seemed to work. One day, a friend of mine, Alena ( who used to be a CTJ teacher)was in Brazil on vacation, and Angela decided to have a goodbye dinner for her. On this day Henrique and I met each other again and started dating. We have been together for almost 9 years and we have two beautiful kids.
Hi guys, this is a great way to practice the present perfect! This activity was kindly given to me by Claudio our coordinator, who has a wonderful blog:
Watch the movie segment. Pay attention to the activities the characters have performed during that day. Write CH if one of the chipmunks, Alvin, Simon or Theodore, performed the activity, DA if Dave (the man) did it, BO if both Dave and the Chipmunks performed it, and NO if nobody has performed it during the segment. 1. ( ) Watch TV 2. ( ) Open the food cabinet to steal something to eat. 3. ( ) Skate around the kitchen. 4. ( ) Play tennis. 5. ( ) Pour cheetos into a bowl. 6. ( ) Hide in the kitchen cabinets. 7. ( ) Remove the kitchen utensils from the cabinets. 8. ( ) Throw a jar at Dave's head. 9. ( ) Faint. 10. ( ) Read a book. 11. ( ) Speak English. 12. ( ) Turn on some kitchen appliances. 13. ( ) Throw the chipmunks out of the house. 14. ( ) Try to reeenter the house. 15) ( ) Call the police. 16) ( ) Close the window shades. 17) ( ) Sweep the floor. 18) ( ) Stand in the rain. 19) ( ) Sing songs in the garden. 20) ( ) Dance very happily.
Now write sentences using the present perfect sentence. You CANNOT start the sentence with the word "nobody". You may add "already" or "yet" if it's possible.
EX: Dave has watched TV The chipmunks have opened the food cabinet to steal something to eat.
