29 September 2006: Take & Make
Another lovely week with perfect autumn weather, the leaves are changing colour so things are beginning to look very pretty here in Chester.
We aren't quite as busy as we have been all summer but the pub tours are still as popular as ever and Andy and Mat are still feeling very tired on a Thursday morning. It is lucky that Sam is in again on Monday to keep them under control. She has been on holiday for two weeks and has had a well deserved rest in Norfolk.
I thought we might look at take and make this week because this is an area lots of people have difficulties with.
The word this week is stereotype which can be used as both a noun or verb. As a noun it means someone who exactly fits the idea of what a person or thing is like. As a verb it means to believe that someone is the way they are because that is what people expect them to be like.
"He certainly is the stereotypical Pole. He loves his sausage and vodka!"
Have a good fortnight and don't forget to let me know if there is anything you especially want me to cover in the next lesson!
Best wishes,
Harriet and everyone at English in Chester.
