My motto is: Work hard and play hard! I work long hours all week and at the weekend I have fun. On Friday evenings, I call my best friend, Lucia, and we usually go to a bar. We chat about this and that, have a drink and relax.
On Saturdays, Thiago and I do the shopping and sometimes go to the beach, if we have time. On Saturday night we often go to the cinema. We take turns to choose the film. Last weekend we went to a party at a friend's house. They had a videoke and Thiago asked me to sing a song. I did it really badly and everyone laughed at my terrible voice. It was very funny . for them! I definitely prefer dancing to singing.
On Sundays we do some exercise in the morning, usually by going for a walk along one of the beaches. Thiago always tries to make me run. Sometimes I run with him but I prefer walking. We enjoy having long lunches with friends. Later, I have to start thinking about work again; marking homework and preparing for Monday. In the evening we normally collapse in front of 'Fantastico' on TV. Weekends go so fast.

10D.6
Some oral homework suggestions you could make:
. you can, choose and use a workbook with speaking and pronunciation exercises and a cassette or a CD.
. Tell students to test a friend at home, e.g. they take turns asking and answering How do you say (X) in English? from their vocabulary notebooks.
. Tell them to prepare 10 answers to 10 questions which you will ask them next lesson as an oral test.
. Mark the stress on a page of words in their vocabulary notebooks (and perhaps check in a dictionary).
. Looking for 3 or 4 examples of words listed in their vocabulary notebooks which contain a particular sound, e.g.
.. Teach your parents (e.g. a song, chant, rhyme or tongue twister), then tell the class what it's like being a teacher.
. Phone a friend and practise a dialogue.
. When you see some tourist, try to listen to what they are saying and, perhaps try to help them visit your town.
. Teach learning techniques and games that students can use and play outside class, and set them for homework.
NB: The key to teaching speaking is to include it in your evaluation/test. If you don't, it's very difficult to motivate students to take speaking seriously.
