Ötzi the Iceman

Hello again, Isabel!

We are a bit lost because we only had two lessons last month!

We started the lesson with…Phrasal Verbs!!!!

Come up with a solution to a problem	Scientists will have to come up with new methods of increasing the world’s food supply.
Break into a house or a flat to steal sth	The thieves broke into the warehouse and stole goods worth £20,000
Break off a relationship, an engagement	Charles is miserable. Penelope broke off their engagement last week.
Tell off a naughty child	She told Tom off because he hit her older sister.
Bring up children to be honest and hard working	My parents brought me up to finish all the food on my plate.
Count on your best friend to help you	I’m running for president. I hope I can count on your support.
Deal witha problem, a complaint, a difficult customer	You have a problem with your order, madam? I’ll just get someone to deal with it for you.
Drop out of a university course after one year.	Why did you drop out of university after just one term?
Fit in with the other people in the group	I had a new student today. He seems very nice. I’m sure he’ll fit in with the rest of the class just fine.

Then we started talking about ‘Ötzi the iceman’

We reviewed modal verbs for deduction and possibility. These were our conclusions.

·         We could have been a shepherd.

·         He might have got lost in the mountains.

·         He must have lived in a cave.

·         He must have worn animal furs.

·         He may have fallen asleep and died of starvation.

·         He shouldn’t have gone to the mountains on his own.

·         He can’t have eaten fish because it’s very improbable there was a river in the mountains that wasn’t frozen.

And, that was it! See you tomorrow
