This was my third class. It was the worse class I have ever had. I say this not for the way I gave it but for the time I got to the classroom. The class started at six forty-five and I got over there at seven o’clock exactly fifteen minutes later. Even so, I strongly consider that it is not my fault. I did all what was possible to be on time. Anyways, I started my class with some quotations of some people talking about short-term and long-term financial goals. I asked the students to go to their books on page twenty-eight and read quiet those quotes. After they read it, I read it aloud so thattheylistened only. Afterwards, I asked them whether they had notices the form to express future plans. They gave their opinions about what were the future plans that those people mentioned in the quotes, and I wrote them on the board.

From the phrases and sentences that the students dictated to me, I started explaining to them that that type of future expressions are called Future Perfect Tense. Therefore, I gave a definition and some more examples. Nevertheless, in the book was a chart with a rich information about that topic. I had prepared that information on some charts that I pasted one by one on the board in order to clarify the topic.Every time I explained one chart, I gave more examples and so I did with each chart. My class practically was about grammar explanation and that took me about forty-five minutes to do it. At the end, I demanded the students to write some futures plans and action by using the four Future Perfect Tense categories already studied. So, my class finished at seven fifty.
