Hi Torsten,
today the atmosphere in the group was really good. We did some work on general grammar (sentence structure, simple present, question with and without a question word, do-question both positive and negative, the “s” used with simple present and pronouns). We had little exercises practising these items. Then we went on with some listening exercises from our website. They did a good job according to their level of English. The last exercises were also online repeating all the grammar items on different webistes. To my mind, we made good progress.
Have fun tomorrow.
Cheers!
Hello, here is the first part of our transcript:

Yesterday we took a field trip with our English teacher by Eilenburg. Our goal was to see some sights in Eilenburg. Previously, we sought out information on the Internet. Then it went off. First we went to the Castle Hill to the Sorbs Eilenburger tower. After the Eilenburger city to the museum. Then the market place to the Town Hall, St. Nicholas church, community center and after a short refreshment, we went to the zoo in the snow storm. For each attraction per 2 man told something. Then we went back very quickly to AFI, because everyone was half frozen and wet. Despite the less than optimal weather, it was a beautiful and instructive day.

Carnival Monday in Eilenburg
In Eilenburg held every year on Carnival Monday a parade instead.
This week we went on Monday afternoon together at this parade.
We had to wait long until the parade started.
We have seen many people in colorful costumes.
Many girls were dancing the whole time.
The crowd cheered and children tried to catch the sweets that were thrown from the
decoreated vehicles.
The reputation of the carnival is Eilenburger “Kültzschau Hellau”.
We had a lovely afternoon.

your group from Eilenburg
Torsten,
I covered all the items you had told me. We also had a little sightseeing tour in Eilenburg to practise directions and the students gave short reports in English about the sights. I taught them the difference between simple present, simple past and will-future. We then repeated numbers, the alphabet and had some listening exercises. The students uploaded a report about Monday and Tuesday and answered Linda’s questions.
Have fun the next days,
Torsten
