January Week One

This week we talked about New Year's resolutions and all our plans to improve our health, fitness and English in the upcoming year. I'm sure most of you have improving your English and studying hard as one of your New Year's resolutions so let's get to it!

Listening:
Learners can listen to an audio about people's New Year's resolution, or a broadcast straight from London on New Year's Eve about people's plans for the upcoming year. Lastly, try a 6 Minute English activity about how people can stick to what they plan to do.

For original version listening, try the TTBOOK episode about renunciation including an interview with the creator of Drynuary. Or try that This American Life episode about Transformers (audio and transcript).

Reading:
Learners can try a text from over at breaking news English or an article called quit smoking now.

For original version, try reading an articule from the NYTimes about Drynuary or about Veganuary.

Writing:
So now it's your turn. How will you improve yourself in the year 2017? How will you work on being a better, more improved you? Please detail your resolution and your plans to carry it out in the upcoming year.
Best,
Kelly
