Web Night
On Thursday, the 4th, fifteen students invited seniors to work one afternoon on the new media, the internet. All pupils mined that their grandparents didn’t use the internet so very much. A few days they had an idea. They wanted to invited some senior citizens. So the group of kids went to the community centre. There they spoke with the leader of this installation. He said: ”I will draw attention of some seniors.” Next day they made some information sheets. At the web night we all were very nervous. But after a few minutes all participants were here. First we Thought their to switch on and off the During the afternoon we made it more difficult. It was great and I hope there will be a sequel.

Invitation
Hello. I am Lukas.
We are planning a Web Night on the 4th November in Morris Comprehensive School. I would like to invite you, because we want to teach you to handle with the computer. Would you be interested in surfing in the internet? Would you like to know about the various programs?
Then we can help you!
We offer to teach you to use the computer during the Web Night.
Yours sincerely
Lukas

Dear Lukas.
Thank you for your nice invitation. I’ll be very happy to join your Web Night, but I’m also a little bit afraid, because I’ve never worked with a computer before. I hope, I wouldn’t be too stupid to learn something new.
Yours sincerely

Using computers by elderly people.
Agreement:
In my opinion elderly people should work more with the computer, because so they get more information about health, sports, science or events.
They also can buy some things and so they haven’t to go to the shops and carry heavy bags. So their backs aren’t so ruined.
Besides retired elderly people can use chat rooms in the internet to be in touch with their friends, if they can’t leave their home.
Disagreement:
In my opinion elderly people shouldn’t work with the computer, because most of them haven’t worked with the computer yet. It’s to hard for them to learn the functions, so somebody needs a lot of time to explain it. Some internet pages are hard for them to handle, because they don’t know which button they have to press. So it’s easy to trick them by internet.

E-Mail to somebody
Hi Paul.
What’s going on?
Would you like to go ice skating tomorrow?
Today I have got an new internet access. I want to test it and so I send you this E- mail. Please write back soon.
Yours sincerely
Lukas

Traffic in my surroundings
I live in Linz. From Monday to Friday I go to school by bus.
Sometimes my parents gives me a lift to my school. On Monday and Wednesday I drive to Oftering, because there is my football practise.
If I go a few minutes, I can drive with the bus to the city or to my school.
I think, it's good that some of the public transport are driving with natural gas.
But in my opinion there aren't enough cyclepaths in Linz.

Dear Mr. Fischer, I hope, you enjoy your holidays and here are my texts.
Please, can you read and correct them.

Come exercise solutions download

Hi here are the solutions for the COME worksheet you got before the holidays!Have a nice day,

ERF

Materials and solutions for some exercises!

Hello everybody - I hope you all had a lively cross over into the new year and are doing fine. back to work for me now!

I am posting a couple of things for you... for the ones who have lost it, I will again post the material information for the test... that´s here - watch out there are 3 pages!:












Also, I have written down the correct info/solutions for the translations piece of paper I gave you a week before the holidays - we did not correct it. So you get the info now, ok? The first part we did in school, so there is no need to write it down again... I am not going to post the worksheet that I told you about with the different forms of the irregular verbs... they will not be part of the test this time, but for the next one. However, do NOT forget you need to know the past forms of most of the verbs anyways, you might have to write a text in the past tense! ;-)
ALSO: Do not forget that I gave you a handout about the different phrasal verbs that can be made with the verb COME... you can work out the answers in the next few days - I´ll post the solutions as well. And some of them will also come up in the test!!! So, it´s worth doing it!
There´s ONE more (grammar) thing: "Ich möchte, dass ihr euch gut vorbereitet!" (In English: ?) Who can say that in English? The first commentary to send the correct answer gets a plus! Really!)
If there are questions, do not hesitate to post them here! If you need anything... let me know!
