March Week Two


This week's topic was communication, specifically the way we correspond with folks via whatsapp, email, and snail mail!  This was an excuse to practice the grammar point of Reported Speech (check the grammar and your comprehension here).

Listening:
Learners can check out a listening comprehension activity from Randall's Listening Lab: Mail Service or Texting and Driving.

For original version listening, listen to the episode of This American Life called My Pen Pal (audio and transcript available). You can also check out the Youtube Channel of the Post Museum.

Reading:
Learners can read some examples of informal and formal emails which are great preparation for some writing practice.  For a more conventional reading comprehension activity, try the activity about Foreign Exchange Emails.

For original version, check out some articles form the Post Museum, such as Victorian's Secret Ways of Keeping in Touch. Or read the article from the Indpendent: Greatest Letters Ever Written.

Writing:
This week, you have two different options!  You can try writing a letter or email in English. You choose it!  To a potential employer, to a friend, to a crush, it's up to you!

Or, practice reported speech by relaying what happened in a communication exchange.

Best,
Kelly
