November Week Four

November Week Five:

This week we explored the world of "How To..."  We talked about how to do things everyone knows how to do (how to fry an egg, how to tie your shoes), how to do things within our own personal areas of expertise (how to learn a language) or things no one really knows how to do (how to stop climate change, how to fix inflation).

Listening:
Learners can check out an activity from British Council about how to do a job interview, or how to rent a house.

For original version listening, I recommend the NPR series Life Kit, which includes podcasts and articles.  For example, listen to how to make a tough decision, or how to make friends as an adult.

Reading:
Learners can try a reading something about how to take care of Your digital footprint or an article at the C1 level entitled How to Be Happy

For original version, you can explore the website Wikihow, which as information about pretty much everything, from How to Learn New Things, How to Avoid Drama, or How to Avoid Jetlag.

Writing:
This week for writing, please write a HOW TO piece.  Choose something you feel you know clearly how to do and outline carefully the steps to follow.  You may want to give some context or pointers to make the most of the article!
Best,
Kelly
