Week 2

 

G'day!
I hope you've all had a beaut weekend. I must say I was stoked to see the sun out again as it meant that I got the washing dried! There's nothing worse than wet washing!
Well, this arvo there are a few things for you to do.
Firstly, finish writing up your first blog post and get me to have a gander at it before you publish it.
Secondly, work out the meaning of the words/expressions in bold!
Thirdly, have a look at this link and write a comment at the end of this post about the message the speaker wants you to remember! (There are also very useful YouTube links on the right with suggestions for increasing fluency in speaking too!)
Then, open this link and look at the first 2 videos. (One-minute video and Isabel's story) When you've done this, come and tell me the 'message' you learnt from the second video. If you have time you can try the entry level tests!
And to finish off, read this text and answer the comprehension questions. Tell me your score!
Before you go, have a look at this refreshing short film which was awarded 2nd place in the 2013 Sydney Tropfest last night!


Well, hope you complete all today's activities!
'Aveagoodweek and keep blogging!

  3. To get fluently in english, you must read everything, look around for english in everyday environment.
    reading is imortant because the people that read get fluent faster and stay by themself.
    another reason, is to see how letters can be expresesed in different fonts.
    practice reading everything, any where,in the streets sign, books, side of bus etc...any kind of english.

  4. I believe read everything you can see is a good way to learning English. I am doing it everyday. However, the words are easy come easy go, they just could not stay long in my mind at last, it really makes me struggle. Does the tutor have any other methods are able to helps the English learner memorise vocabulary?
