ELVIRA'S CHOCOLATE CAKE

This is neither the first nor  the second time I write about my friend Elvira in this blog. Her cakes and cupcakes are absolutely perfect. She is the responsible of my lately bakery addition although I'm still far from her mastery.
This is the  CHOCOLATE CAKE she makes. I have also made it several times and it is delicious.
Enjoy the video. This lady is a great cook and she explains the whole recipe in a very clear and enthusiastic way:

FALSE FRIENDS

Activity for my ACCESO STUDENTS
In linguistics we call false friends to words that are similar in English and Spanish but don't mean the same. Be careful with them. There is a long list of false friends in your text book and there are also lists on web pages like these ones:

CONDITIONAL CLAUSES

Activity for my ACCESO students.
We dealt with Conditional Clauses at last! As you could see, they are not so difficult: Using the 1st, 2nd or 3rd Conditional depends on the POSSIBITITY of the fulfilment of the condition. You just have to use the VERBS correctly:
- 1st Conditional: If  Clause + Present Simple, Main Clause + Future.
- 2nd Conditional:  If  Clause + Past Simple, Main Clause + Conditional.
- 3rd Conditional:  If  Clause + Past Perfect, Main Clause + Perfect Conditional.
Be careful since the sentences can also start with the Main Clause and remember that there are other LINKS: whether, unless, in case...
