May Week One

 This week we talking about fixing things: renovating, repairing, mending, fixing, this topic is relevant in many aspects of life from homes, cars, computers to clothes.

Listening:
Learners can try an intermediate listening activity about computer problems. For something more challenging try listening about home repairs and car repairs.

For original version listening, there are a few TED talks worth watching: How to fix a broken heart, Can the Damaged Brain Repair Itself? or Architecture that Repairs Itself.

Reading:
Learners can read something from Breaking News English about clothes that repair themselves. For something harder, try an article about the Buy Nothing Movement.

For original version, read an interesting article from the Guardian entitled Can Spain Fix Its Worst Ecological Crisis by Making a Lagoon a Legal Person?

Writing:
This week, please write a report about something that is broken (an object, a system), how to repair it and recommendations for the future.

Best,
Kelly
