March Week One

This week we practiced giving advice, further putting into practice grammar structures such as ought to, she had better, I suggest + ing, etc.

Listening:
Learners try an article from the British Council about getting advice. Do the listening comprehension activities, too!

For original version listening, try an episode from the advice column Dear Prudence from Slate. Recent episodes involve a listener getting too close to a work husband, a fiancee wanting three dogs (a pet the listener finds needy and expensive), and an acquaintance sending an inappropriate photo to a listener's teenage daughter.

Reading:
Learners can read a short article giving advice about learning English. For some more in depth topics, check out How to be a good language learner, How to be a better listener
How to be a better speaker, How to give a good speech.

For original version, read an article from Bored Panda about people who share online some of the worst advice they've ever gotten.

Writing:
This week, write an email to response to our advice seekers!  Listen again to one of these audios from my friends Jill, Dawn and Libby, and write them a thoughtful response.

Best,
Kelly
