Are you ready? We are back to the trenches and the front line and this is THE TERM, the most decisive term this year. Why? Because it is the longest and after Easter we will just have a few weeks left before the end of the school year.
So, it is high time you find solutions for the mistakes you committed in the first term or those unsolved problems you can face with a good attitude and loads of effort from you.
We all hope you, at least, will try studying more and try keeping the right path so as to pass all your subjects. I don't want to hear from you that you tried to study, work, pass... but you didn't manage to get your goals.
GIVE IT A GO!!!! (give it a go = try something)
It is time for....

1. I don't like the behaviour of the students in 4º ESO at all, and I'm going to be tougher on them if they don't behave properly.
2. I don't really like heavy meals for dinner, but I'll go to your birthday party if you insist.
3. I don't like big cities at all, especially if I'm the one driving.
4. I don't really like travelling on my own. I prefer going with my family.
5. After my last experience at a disco, I think I don't like going again to that party with you.
This exercise is very important because this term in 1º Bachillerato we are going to work a lot rewriting sentences using different structures. Here are two interesting links for you:
