December Week One


​This week we tackled the topic of the human body, looking at a lot of vocabulary about different body parts and amazing facts about our human body.

Listening:
This week learners can try any of the several activities available on the British council website that talk about the human body, for example that listening comprehension exercise amazing facts.

For original version, check out any of the videos on the Ted playlist entitled weird facts about the human body. if you're like me, and you want to practice some yoga to get your body moving, I recommend the yoga with adriene YouTube channel.



Reading:
Learners can try a b2 reading comprehension activity about acupuncture and the human body.

For original version read some articles from national geographic about the amazing human body or any of the articles available at the BBC about the human body and mind.

​Writing:
This week for writing, please write a composition responding to one of the following writing prompts:
  1. Think about what your life would be like if you didn’t have fingers. Some people already go through life without them. How would your life be different? What kinds of tools might you use to do the tasks you already do now with your fingers?
  2. What would it be like if humans breathed through gills instead of lungs?
  3. If you could absorb your food through your skin instead of eating it like you do now, would you do it? Why or why not?
  4. What kind of hairstyles would exist if all humans grew hair all over their body like dogs or bears?
  5. Imagine you have shrunk to the smallest size possible and you take an adventure through the human body. What would it be like? What would you see? How would you move from system to system?
  6. Think about all the ways humans use their bodies to communicate. Body language. Describe as many different ways you can communicate without words as you can.
  7. What are the best ways to keep your body in top shape?
  8. If you could give humans a physical ability they currently don’t have, what would it be?
  9. Are there any unnecessary body parts? Make a list and explain why they aren’t needed.
  10. Compare and contrast the human body to another animal.

Best,
Kelly-
