We work with an erasmus student

The last monday we began with "aula practice 3" in which we had to find information about our speciality and done a brief summary:
  • Textile fibres are done in three stages: first of all the fibres are spinned into yarns. Then the fibres are woven or knitted into fabrics and the last stage is made products. Cotton or linen are natural fibres which provides from plants; but wool and silk provides from animals.
  • The main synthetic fibres are Viscose, Acrylic, Polyester and Nylon.
  • Polyester or nylon microfibres are 60-100 times finer than a human hair and if you bend that fibres with others you can change the properties about the final product.
  • There are two types of woven fabrics: Plain-weave and Twill-weave.
  • There are two types of knitted fabrics: Weft-knitted and Warp-knitted.
  • Non-woven fabric is made by bonding or felting.
  • Modern and smart fabrics are designed to maximise characteristics.
On the second part of the class we saw a video about the oral presentations. Then we also did an exercise about vocabulary.

On tuesday we worked in groups of three students in which we had an erasmus student. I worked with Duygu.
Firstly we did a brainstorming about computers and then we did a listening called "What computers do".
On the second part of the class we worked with the fotocopies about letter writing. First some students read their letter and then, in groups, we did an exercise which consists in done a leeter, booking a car for a travell.

Finishing the practices 1, 2 and the Unit 1

The last Monday in the language laboratory we presented our speciality. That work belongs to practice 1 but we haven't did it yet. We spent the first part of the class on that exercise.
In the second part we did the practice 2 which consists on relative clauses. Firstly the teacher did an explanation and then we did some exercises.

On the theory class, on Tuesday, we have finished the Unit 1, called materials.
Firstly we have done a listening comprehension, then a lecture about iron and steel, and finally we have done an exercise about the composites.
In the last minutes of the theory class some students have done an oral presentation about how to do something and the steps to follow to develope that action.
Some students also have read a letter that we had to do like homework.

For the next week we have to buy the practice 2 and the Unit 2.
