March Week Three

Hi guys!  Thanks for logging into class online, it is great to still see your faces, keep in touch, laugh, and practice English throughout the insanity!

For those of you who have decided to put your English work aside in a moment of crisis, I totally understand.  I am keeping you updated on homework in case you want to take advantage of some free time to do some work!

This week we checked in on one another, talked about our best strategies to cheer us up (things to do, taste, smell, hear) and talked about things that we find beautiful.  We are going for feel food time away from the breaking news cycle.

Listening:
Learners can try an activity from BBC 6 minute English about Food and Mood.

For original version, try watching something that will make you laugh.  I love this episode of This American Life: Fiasco.

Reading:
First off, learners can read a short article that puts into practice some good expressions about cheering somebody up.

For original version reading, try an interesting article about how strangers can cheer you up.

Writing:
This week for writing I would like you to write down your plan for how to keep your mood up in the upcoming weeks of adversity.  What are the things that make you feel good and why?  When can you do them? What do you need?
Best,
Kelly
