November Week Two

In honor of my new wheels, we spent the whole week talking about cars, driving, and road trips.  Now, time to do your homework!

Listening:
There are several listening activities available to learners.  Try these from Randall's Listening Lab: Car Accident, Car Repairs, or Used Cars.  Or you can try an activity from British Council called Driverless Cars.  Lastly, learn some road trip idioms.

For original version you I recommend giving a listen to the To the Best of Our Knowledge episode about Roadtrips: When is a Roadtrip Something More? or a recent excerpt from This American Life about traffic jams that last for days in China.

Reading:
Learners can start with a text about electric cars or a cars reading comprehension exercise.

For some original version content, read an article about the current trend that is sweeping the states (and perhaps the globe?): #VanLIfe.

Writing:
This week please write a report about the state of driving today.  Address current trends in cars, problems
Best,
Kelly
