June Week Three

This week we talked about life in the village, using a humourous article from El Pais Engish to spark our conversation about small town life is like in Spain (and abroad).

Listening:
Learners can try a listening comprehension activity called Village or City?

For original version listening, I highly recommend the serial podcast Shit Town.  You might get hooked after the first episode!

Reading:
Learners can read a text from British Council about people describing their town.

For original version, check out an article describing some of the pros and cons of moving back to your small hometown or about culture shock experienced moving to a small town.

Writing:
For writing this week, try writing an essay about small town life.  What are some of the hardships? Is life better in villages than in the city? 

Best,
Kelly
