Yesterday must have been a good day to stay at home because several  students were missing. There was only one at the beginning of the lesson so we were doing some conversation.  We practiced  a very importan question: What´s your child like? It is a good accassion to remind everybody of how useful this construction is: What  is/are + subject + like? Like in this case is a preposition and not a verb. We use this construction to ask for descriptions.

Later on students were practicing be used to and get used to: when they are followed by an action, then it has to be in the ing form of the verb. Students found thi exercise a little difficult so I told them they could repeat it as homework and that way they would have more time to think about it. Missing students can also work on it.

This is the exercise: write something that you...

are used to doing during the week
don´t think you´ll ever get used to
will have to get used to in the future
would find it impossible to get used to
were´t used to do it at one time, but you are now
are getting used to at the  moment.

Also students are supposed to write 2 sentences with each one of this adjectives: aware, fond, disappointed and shocked. I think. Remember to use the right prepositions.

Also, the difference between being used to and getting used to. Before you are used to something, you must get used to it.The verb get in this case is similar to become and it has a connotation of process, of passing from one state to another.
