On May 2nd, I observed an entry level speaking
class taught by Mr. Wilson for CIES students. At the start of the class, Mr.
Wilson went over the activities for the class so the students had a clear idea
of what to expect. The first thing Mr. Wilson discussed with his students was
regular and irregular verbs. To demonstrate this difference, Mr. Wilson asked
students what they did this weekend and used the student’s answers to
demonstrate irregular and regular verbs. For example, “I watched the new episode
of Game of Thrones” has a regular verb because “watched” uses –ed. An example
of a sentence with an irregular verb would be “I went to the gym” since the
verb “went” does not have an –ed at the end. Mr. Wilson then handed out a
worksheet to go over opposites in the English language like “hot” and “cold”.
The other part of the worksheet had students find antonyms for certain words
like straight (curly) or short (long).
