After having dealt with UNIT 1, students from Adults 6 worked on Compound Adjectives.
As there are many ways to create them, here I leave a webpage that will provide you with simple explanations for you to start using these hyphenated words.

What a webpage!
Here you have some nice tips.
They are business-oriented and they might as well help you when you need to do a short listening (like questions in an interview) or acquire more vocabulary so as to become an advanced speaker.
Have a go!

Happy Holidays!
One last step for this year and... holidays!
It's a sense of counter feelings when one reaches this part of the year: on one side, "holidays" is the most wanted word, and on the other side... we have spent quite a lot of time together, learning, discussing, worrying, laughing... that it will be strange not to meet each other twice a week over the next weeks.
I would like to thank you all for your time, your dedication, your efforts, your contributions and your criticism.
And I encourage you to value all you have gained, you deserve it, it has not been easy many times. Keep it alive, make it grow!
It has been a fantastic year and I've enjoyed sharing it with you all! Happy Holidays!

3. Describe the Battle of the Windmill. How does it end?
4. If you were an animal on Animal Farm, would you consider the Battle of the Windmill a victory?
