November Week Two

This week we discussed stages of life, comparing perspectives, drawbacks and advantages of being an infant, toddler, child, teen, adult, middle aged or senior.

Don't forget that Friday November 13th and Friday November 20th I am offering make-up classes for those who have missed sessions since the beginning of the schoolyear! Please get in touch to make sure you have a spot!

Listening:
Learners can try an activity from Six Minute English about the Teenage Brain.  For something more challenging check out a listening comprehension task about Senior Citizens.

For original version listening, try a podcast episode from Freakonomics called Think Like a Child or an episode from This American Life such as Return to Childhood or Kid Logic.

Reading:
Learners can try reading a text from Breaking News English about the imminent challenges of an aging population.

For original version, check out an article about how brain functioning morphs with age or an article from the BBC about the Benefits of Getting Older.

Writing:
This week for writing, write an essay comparing different ages of life.  How have you, your beliefs and your habits changed from a child, teen, adult, or into middle age? How do you imagine yourself when you are older?

Best,
Kelly
