angels, eagles & flamingos - exercise 1, p. 101

I'm not sure if we have corrected this exercise in class with every group. Here are the answers, just in case:

b The doctor must have sent a letter with Eleanor when she went to his surgery.
c The British embassy should have checked this.
d Eleanor might have had to wait for a long time at the doctor's surgery.
e Eleanir managed to get back to the hotel with the medicine successfully eventually.
f They can't have removed Mrs Redwood's signature from the hotel register.
g They might not have taken Eleanor back to room 342 when she returned to the hotel. It might/could have been a different room.
h It is a shame that Eleanor didn't manage to persuade embassy officials to believe her.
i The authorities shouldn't have put a young girl like Eleanor in a mental asylum.
j Eleanor might/could have invented the whole story.

Questions welcome!

ALL - Book Club

This is just to let you know that we are already preparing our third book club session (tertulia literaria). We'll get together at Café Aromas (downstairs) on Wednesday 13th May at 20:00.
The book we'll be talking about this time is The boy in the striped pyjamas by John Boyne. I'm sure some of you have read it and it would be great to exchange opinions about it.
I hope to see you!

All - See you on 14th / 15th April...

Dear all,
I'd like you to do a bit of work during the holiday break.

Angels, eagles and flamingos: please, revise the last units - use the CD-ROM and the workbook.

Alligators: read A bit of singing and dancing.

Everyone: work a bit on the blog - you can have a look at the entries, choose some of them and do what you're asked to.

Good wishes for a very happy Easter!
