December Week Two

Firstly, don't forget that this week is our holiday party!  We will celebrate Christmas with some drinks and snacks and do an activity called a yankee swap on Thursday December 14th 20:30.  Please confirm your attendance by Wednesday! (And don't forget, you're welcome to drag along a friend if they'd like to partake in the fun).

This week we practiced agreeing and disagreeing using the expressions SO DO/DID, and NEITHER DO/DID.  Try your hand at a quiz here and here.

Listening:
Learners can check out some of these expressions in context from movies. Can you try dictating any of these sentences to check your comprehension? Or you could watch a video about agreeing and disagreeing.

For original version try watch a TED Talk about Daring to Disagree.

Reading:
Learners can read some articles about how to agree and disagree in English. Start with one from the British Council, and then move on to the VOA article about Agreeing to Disagree.

For original version check out the article How to Get People to Agree With You.

Writing:
This week I'd like you to write out a dialogue between two people trying to find common ground. It could be two people on a first date, or new roommates, or even strangers on a train.  Make sure you use small talk as well as the expressions we saw in class.

Best,
Kelly
