  • Recorded message for a traveller/guest to your home & neighbourhood (ME!) must be uploaded to Teams by Wednesday at the latest. I suggest doing it this weekend if possible 🙂

REMEMBER:

  • No fancy video skills or editing 
  • Do not read! 
  • Speak naturally and simply correct yourself if you make a mistake! 
  • If you’re striving for FM or EX range … is there a way to slip in a more complex structure (or tense)? Did you check your accuracy with previously learned structures and pronunciation? Some new connecter words from unit 1 package? New vocabulary from our current unit or more specific vocabulary to describe from a previous unit? Stick to things you’ve seen in class or in your packages … not a translator! 
  • Aim for approximately 2 minutes – give or take

***Assessment on prepositions, pronouns and verbs is scheduled for next Tuesday, Nov 1st. Keep practising!
