A listening challenge?

We mentioned "acupuncture" in a recent lesson.

Here is a listening activity from LearnEnglish/British Council about this practice.

You might parts of it to be challenging. Good!

If you have any questions, we can talk about them in class.

More practice formulating questions

We have done a lot of work in class recently on ASIC and QuASIC.
Here is a lower intermediate practice activity from BBC Learning English that will help you practise how we formulate questions in English.

You can listen to the conversation and then complete the activity.

If you have any questions, we can talk about them in class.

Preparing for Speaking practice

Please look at the quizlets for the vocabulary from your topic lists.

I would like you to choose ten different items from the lists. Think about how you can describe these items to another person, without using the word (like playing Taboo).

In class on Thursday, I will ask you to give me your lists of words, and then you will mime the words for the other members of the class.
If you all have very similar lists of vocabulary, I may decide to suggest some items.

See you in class.
