Working online

You can continue working on Unit 1 or 4, choose yourself if you would like to practice your reading or listening skills.

OR 

Finish your work from last week and send it to me so that I can give you feedback on your writing skills.

Listening tips

When you are watching an English film or commercial you will automatically read the subtitles. When there aren't any subtitles there are other things to focus on, to try to focus on the next points:

- have a good look at the body language. Are they interested, surprised, irritated? etc.
- during commercials you can mostly see what it is about by the actions in it. 
- notice the background music/sounds. It can trigger your feelings like anxiety, happiness etc.
- when you actively participate you can understand a lot from the sound and images. 

Exercise 3

We will now be working online.
