This week we have talked about our daily routines.
What time do you have a shower?
What time do you get to work?
We have also reviewed how to ask questions (how long do you...? what do you....? When...?) and the difference between present simple and present continuous.
How do you celebrate your birthday? And mother's day? And Christmas? Do you exchange presents? Do you visit your relatives? And what about carnival?
We have also learnt how people celebrate birthdays in other countries. Did you know that all Chinese people celebrate their birthdays with thier New Year?
Finally, we have seen how we use the present continuous tense or "going to" for future arrangements.
The difference is quite sutile, but here you have a grammar explanation that can be handy:

- (be) going to + infinitive: we use it to talk about future plans:
                                                 " I'm going to work in the UK for 6 weeks"
- Present continuous for future arrangements: future arrangements fixed for a fixed time or place. It is very common to find it with expressions such as tonight, tomorrow, this weekend, etc. 

Here you have some exercises so you can practise these tenses:
