Assignment 6

Take a look at this site - it is the BBC language learning site, where you can watch videos (there is a six-minute video about science this week - you can download the script and listen while you read!) and there are lots of other activities to do there.
Your assignment is to choose TWO activities, do them, and then write to me and tell me about what you learned.
I am looking forward to your comments!

Assignment two

I am sure you are all anxious to improve your English, so you probably anticipated your next assignment...so click on the link and get started on TWO PET exams!
If you have trouble right away, you can start with the KET exam, it would be a good idea to do some practice at the KET level before attempting to do the PET exams.
I would like you to send ALL of your PET writing assignments to this blog.

Assignment ONE
Welcome to the 'Food and Health' blog! This may be a new experience for you, so you will need to remember a few rules:
1) This is a public site, so everything you write will be seen by everyone else.
2) The official language is English, but if you are REALLY having trouble, you can write in Italian. Try not to do it if at all possible...
3) Have Fun! Even learning English can be fun if you have the right attitude!

So, on to your first assignment...

As you may have noticed, there is a "Clusty Cloud" at the top of our blog. This is a service provided by a search engine that I find to be very useful, http://www.clusty.com . I think it is better than Google in some ways, because it puts the search results into categories so that you waste less time looking at things that do not interest you.
Your assignment is to click on one or more of the words in the "Clusty Cloud" and take a look at the search results. Then, choose a category on the left, and start exploring the sites. Choose an article, read it, and of course, after that, you have to write to me and tell me about what you have found.
I am looking forward to your comments!

In addition, you will need to do some listening practice for the final exam. Click on the link below, scroll down to find three listening categories: easy, medium and difficult. We will start with an easy listening activity. It is called "Heavenly Pies Restaurant". Click on the name and then play the audio. There are some questions to answer further down the page. If you don't understand what they are saying, you can click on the words "quiz script" and listen again while you read. This site is an EXCELLENT place to practice listening, and your final exam will have a listening part, so you would do well to come back and listen to some others as well... If you do, please write and tell me about it!
LINK http://www.esl-lab.com/
DISTANCE-LEARNERS: You must do all of this assignment like everyone else, but you must also make an appointment with your group to have a discussion on skype about the articles you read. You can try and convince your classmates to read the same articles, or discourage them if you think they were not very useful in terms of vocabulary, topic of interest, or any other reason.

Assignment TWO

This week you will be watching a very short video on the world's English MANIA. It is from a site that I really like called TED.COM, and I often watch videos on this site instead of watching TV!

Just click on the link, and then look at the bottom left side of your screen to turn on the subtitles in English. You can try to watch without subtitles the first time, but it is a GREAT idea to practice listening with subtitles in English so that you train your brain to understand the words being spoken. (Don't forget that you can watch a video while eating your lunch every Friday at 13:30 in the English classroom!)

After watching this video, explore the site and choose another video that you think will be interesting. Don't forget to turn on the subtitles!
I can't wait to hear what you think about the one I have chosen, and also the ones you choose to watch afterward!

Here is the link:

Enjoy!
