October Week Three

 This week we continued some of our work from last week about housing, but focusing more on problems with housing (mortage crisis, gentrification) and different styles of houses in other countries.

Listening:
Learners can try an activity about Living in a Tiny Space. For something a little more challenging, try a listening activity about Refinancing Mortgage Loans.

For original version, try a short video about Why is Hong Kong's Housing so Expensive? Or for something longer, House Rules from This American Life.

Reading:
Learners can try a reading comprehension activity about buying and renting houses or a downloadable PDF to read about different priorities in housing: Reading house student worksheet

For original version try one of several articles from the Huffington Post about the Tiny House Movement.

Writing:
Please write an article about how housing as changed over the last decades in Spain: buying, renting, living with family, unconventional living situations.  What is the future of housing in your country?
Best,
Kelly
