March Week One

This week we practice a couple of confusing grammar points including used to, usually, get used to, and be used to.

Now it's time to get down to doing your homework, but don't forget that if you are interested in participating in intensive pronunciation workshop March 21st and 22nd, registration is open!

Listening:
Learners can try an activity from BBC learning English about you using the grammar point used to talk about the past.  or, try another listening activity entitled you have changed.

For original version, I recommend listening to some podcast about gentrification. Here's an interesting one from NPR called there goes the neighborhood, or an episode from science versus.

Reading:
First off, learners can check out an explanation about using used to correctly from the BBC.

For original version reading, try an interesting article from the guardian called look back and enjoy the power of nostalgia.

Writing:
This week, choose one of the cartoons in this collection from bored panda about how life is changed. Now write an article explaining how things used to be compared to nowadays.
Best,
Kelly
