Reflexion 26/05/2007

Today Julia teached us English. She was really very exerted to teach us English.

Roland made a presentation about the "IF-Clauses".
It was a interesting presentation and I enjoyed it very.
The presentation was very informativ and had a touch of a cabaret.

I learned following rules, if I want to use "If-Clauses":

Type 1: Used when expected outcome is very likely

• if + simple present + .... will ....

Type 2: Used when outcome is less likely or imaginary

• if + simple past + .... would + infinitive ....

After the presentation we made a littel test about "If-Clauses".

Cheers

Reflexion

Last English lesson I made a presentation about the word 'get' and possible word combinations with get. The presentation took place after our break. All the time I was very nervous. During the presentation I had the feeling that I was talking in a language that sounded like English but for me it only sounded strange. After finishing I was very pleased about the positive reaction for my presentation.
