This week, we´ll continue to review the present in English approaching the Present Progressive, also called Present Continuous. In class next Tuesday, we´ll review the Simple Perfect Tense.

Task 2: Writing Practice

Imagine you are traveling and visiting a beautiful place (outside Honduras). You are now sitting on the balcony of your hotel room. Describe what is happening at the moment you are writing (e.g. The sun is shining) and then write about your daily routine while in this holiday (e.g. I usually wake up early and eat breakfast in the hotel/at a cafeteria...).

Task 3: Listening Practice
