For example:
The sound of the rain makes me feel happy because it reminds me of spring and new beginnings.

Practice Exercises for 6th Semester

Hello 6th Semester Students ;)

Your own blog will be coming in a short time.
Aldair asked me to get some extra practice exercises to prepare you all for your final, Unit 1 Evidence. Here are some exercises from the Teacher´s Book. The exercise for 1B is the same I had already given you in class. I think it´s good practice to do it without looking at the answers and see if you can do it. Then, check the answers with the corrected version we covered in class. If you have any questions, write them down and bring them to class. We will devote 15-20 minutes on Wednesday before your test to answering any questions you have. Please study all the uses for all the tenses we reviewed: Present Simple; Present Continuous; Past Simple; Past Perfect; Past Continuous;  idiomatic future "going to;" Present Continuous with a future meaning; Will/Won´t/Shall. Also, study your vocabulary, we will do an activity with the vocabulary in class.
