He's out of breath. He's been running.
We use the Present Perfect Continuous when we talk about an action (quite a long action) that began in the past and RECENTLY stopped or JUST stopped. We can still see some signs or side effects that indicate that the action stopped a short time ago.
Hi Everyboy, how are you doing?
Are you ready to pick up where we left off (folytatni, ahol abbahagytuk)?
Last week we focused on CONDITIONALS and WOULD YOU RATHER questions. We chatted about quite many topics including making difficult choices in life, phobias, colours and so on.
Do you remember?
0 Conditional: If water reaches 100 degrees, it boils. (it's a fact, always true.)
1st Conditional: If I study today, I'll go to the party tonight. (it describes a particular situation, present ----) future)
2nd Conditional: If I won the lottery, I would buy a big house. (Probably WILL NOT happen)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Here' s something that we have not discussed so far: the 3rd Conditional!
If I HAD WON the lottery, I WOULD HAVE helped unemployed people.
IF + Past Perfect. WOULD + Present Perfect
We talk about something that did not happen in the past.

The videos below helped you to practise 'Would you rather questions" - one of them was your homework task.
..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0vWtVV0Ztw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKD1lrQeUMU
I also asked you to practise Conditionals with the help of these online tests, didn't I? Why don't we have a look together? As far as I remember there were some questions where you had to use the third conditional or other grammar points that we have not discussed yet. Should you have any questions, feel free to ask.

HW: reading and listening, Total English pages 50-51 (a színes tankönyvi részben ez a két teljes oldal szőröstül-bőröstül)
A következő grammar point a QUESTION TAGS lesz. Ez a tankönyvben az 52/8-as feladatnál kezdődik, 61-es oldalon van a nyelvtani összefoglalója. Ha valaki készülni szeretne belőle, előveheti a múltkori quizletes (kikk a quizletes szóra!!!) feladatsort, annak 31. oldalán kezdődik (közben legalább átfutod az előző anyagokat).
Ez a quizletes feladatsor többé-kevésbé alkalmas önálló tanulásra. A kártyák mindig két oldalúak, a kártyára való kattintással nézheted meg a hátoldalát. Ha tömör nyelvtani magyarázat van angolul, a hátoldalon magyarul megtalálod ugyanazt. Ha feladat van, a hátoldalon a megoldást láthatod. A linkeknél kicsit találjátok fel magatokat, mert minden eszközön más-más módon tudod a linket aktiválni. A telefonomon pl. csak rányomok a linkre és kiadja a "böngészés" lehetőséget, de az asztali PC-n ki kell másolni a linket a böngészőbe és úgy elérhető. Szerintem érdemes megnézni egy-egy videót, szóval érdemes vesződni kicsit vele.
Speaking of QUIZLET (ha már a QUIZLETről beszélünk): az eddigi anyaghoz való szóanyagot mindig bővítem, iderakom a skypos órákon előkerült szavakat is. Ha az eddigi szóanyagot szeretnéd átvenni, klikkelj ide:

Hi you guys,
Can't meet face-to-face because of this damned coronavirus? The lockdown (a situation in which people are not allowed to enter or leave a building or area freely because of an emergency) offers a great opportunity to practise essay writing. Do you know this Latin proverb? Verba volant, scripta manent- = Spoken words fly away, written words remain (A szó elszáll az írás megmarad)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Writing tasks give us an opportunity to highlight and correct some of your typical mistakes.
In addition to this, writing skills are becoming more important as messaging and all sorts of written communication are becoming more widespread.
Let's get down to work, shall we?
Today's lesson is about essay writing, more precisely about "For and against essays" - they are one type of argumentative essays (érvelő esszé) in which you discuss the advantages and disadvantages of a specific topic - fpr example
Living in a City
First, we talked about our homes and the best and worst things about our houses and flats. (Total English pages 35-41). We also talked about living in the city vs living in the country. We saw, that everything has ADVANTAGES and DISADVANTAGES or in other words: PROS and CONS. Talking and writing about advantages and disadvantages is a popular and frequently used topic at B2 level exams.
If we want to practise essay witing, the first step is: collecting ideas to use in the essay.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of living in a city?
+easier to find work, there is a choice of public transport, there are interesting things to do and see
- expensive, public transport is crowde, you can feel lonely
Then, we have to decide whether YOU are for or against CITY LIFE and DRAW A CONCLUSION.
Next, you have to choose words that will help you make your point:
on the plus side, what is more, in conclusion.
The essay I gave you last Wednesday is a good example of a well-written, conscise essay.
Have you read it?
TASK:
Some words are underlined in the text (LIVING IN THE CITY). Please replace the underlined words with one of the following:
in spite of
another point is that
all things considered
to sum up
one disadvantage is that
morover
pros and cons
one advantage is that
moreover
pros and cons
one advantage is that
for instance
in my opinion
especially
finally
------------Did you do it?--------------------------------------------------
Other useful expressions:
To list points: In the first place, To begin with, First of all, Secondly, Thirdly, Finally
To add more points: Furthermore, What is more, In addition to this, Moreover, Besides, Not to mention the fact that
To list advantages: The main advantage of, An additional advantage is that, It is believed that
To list disadvantages: The main disadvantage is that ...
An additional disadvantage is that ...
To show contrast: On the other hand, However, In spite of, While, Despite, Although, Nevertheless
To introduce examples: For example, for instance, As a result
Conclusion: To sum up, To conclude, All in all, All things considered, In conclusion
DO YOU KNOW HOW TO USE the following words properly: in spite of, despite, although
https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/grammar/intermediate-to-upper-intermediate/in-spite-of-despite-although-even-though-and-though (Scroll down for test)
The easiest explanation:
We went for a walk in spite of the rain.=We went for a walk despite the rain.
(Elmentünk sétálni az eső ellenére)
Although: Although it rained, we went out for a walk.
(Bár esett, elmentünk sétálni)
After despite/in spite of we usually use a noun or -ing verb
in spite of the hot weather, in spite of being tired
After although we usually use subject+verb (WHO did WHAT)
Although he worked hard, he never had enough money.
(Bár keményen dolgozott, sosem volt pénze)
Now you go ahead and find a topic that you would like to write or talk about:
My suggestions:
online learning (pros and cons)
living in the country
watching television
extreme sports
working from home
vegetarianism
death penalty
zoos
social media
daylight saving time
learning languages
travelling by train
travelling by car
globalisation
online shopping
Maybe you can pick one or more topics and collect ideas, then write the essay. You do not like these tropics?

Összegezve a tennivalókat:
Jelenleg egy nagyon erős B2-es szinten vagy, a decemberi vizsgáig kb. 12 heted van. Akkor fogsz átmenni a C1-es vizsgán, ha némileg felkészülsz a vizsgafeladatokból, szerintem nagyjából készen vagy, jól forgatod a szót, meg fogod állni a helyed.

Szóbeli témákhoz:
A learning log-on
https://englishexam.blog.hu/2014/11/09/ecl_topics_links#more6878491
a legtöbb téma „ki van dolgozva”, ebből meríthetsz ötleteket, én a rázósabb témákra fektetnék nagyobb súlyt, pl. The Environment.
(azért vettem elő példának, mert ez mindenkinek mumus, de lássuk be, nincs miért félni tőle)
https://englishexam.blog.hu/2014/05/19/matura_exam_practice_the_environment#more6180815
Minden témának van egy „jellegzetes nyelvtana” és szókincse, amit érdemes átgondolni.
Ezen téma esetében pl. a first conditional (if, will) és should, shouldn’t a fő nyelvtan, amivel dolgozhatunk. Szókincs tekintetében talán ez a legrázósabb táma, hosszú és nyakatekert szavakat kell mutatnunk, mint biodegradable, sustainable, renewable energy ésatöbbi. DE ez neked nem lesz gond.
Aztán ezekből kell egyfajta gondolatmenetet felépíteni. Ez a topic két részre oszlik, Problems and Solutions. Elsőn belül egy logikusan felépített gondolatmenet van kiindulva abból, hogy „we are used to living comfortably, we depend on …’, végighaladva a jelen helyzetből kiinduló folyamaton if …….. will. Aztán a megoldás, mit kéne tennünk a megoldás érdekében (should)
Természetesen mindig magadból indulj ki, gondold át, te mit teszel a környezetért, mit jelent számodra a téma. Ne feledd, a vizsga két része (szóbeli és írásbeli) egymást kiegészíti, az írásbeli részen is van környezetvédelmi téma, szövegértés és írás feladatok közt is (ez a gyakorlókönyvben megtalálható)
A blogon minden témánál vannak linkek (nem mind aktív) videókhoz és egyéb feladatokhoz, ezek szintén hasznosak lehetnek.
Ajánlom még youtube-on a TED talkokat, sok témához találsz előadásokat, ezeket sokan szeretik.
Fusd át a híreket is angolul, szoktasd magad a hasonló cikkekhez, sokszor ilyesmi anyagokból készül a reading comprehension:
THE ENVIRONMENT - problems and solutions
We are used to living comfortably. We depend on our cars, central heating, electrical appliances and supermarket shelves.
We need more and more energy, so we burn a lot of natural resources (coal, oil) to produce electricity or to drive our cars.
When we burn natural resources, they release gases, such as CO2. A lot of CO2 changes the atmosphere, creating the greenhouse effect. Solar energy is trapped in the atmosphere and the temperature of the earth rises.
If the temperature rises, the polar ice will melt.
If the polar ice melts, the sea level will rise.
If the sea level rises, there will be floods in many parts of the world.
If there are floods, people will lose their homes and will not be able to grow vegetables.
If people are not able to grow vegetables, they will starve.
Global warming, climate change and pollution pose a serious threat to people.
What should we do to protect the environment?
We should Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. It means that we should
- reduce the number of cars and old, dirty factories, use less water, energy, buy fewer things
- reuse things: give old clothes to charities, they will give them to people who can wear them.
- recycle plastic bottles, newspapers, collect waste selectively
We shouldn’t waste water or electricity. Instead of turning up the heating, we should put on a warm jumper. Instead of taking long baths we should take short showers. Instead of driving to work solo, we should use public transport or share a ride. Maybe ride a bike.
Overall, we should pay more attention to the environment and teach the next generation how to avoid the mistakes we made.
Plusz, legyenek olyan általános kifejezések a tarsolyodban, amik jolly jokerek, azaz minden témánál elsüthetők.
If you ask me
In my opinion
That’s not the way I see it
…
A témáknál próbálj több személyes élményt is felhasználni, pl. hamarosan utazol, ez az egy élmény jó az
utazás, EU, hobbi, média (sztárság, celebség), művészetek, szolgáltatások, vásárlás
témákhoz is. Ha feltalálod magad, minden témához.
Önálló gyakorlásra az is jó, ha pl. válaszolsz kérdéssorra, közben át tudod gondolni a témákat.
I am going to travel to Kenya. I am goint to see lions and zebras.
