Today we practiced pronunciation exercises for short i, some students practiced w, some ch.
Then we discussed what kind of learning activities are helpful for you. You said t.v., radio, listening CD's and tapes, having a topic with introduction, summary, and conclusion, subtitles, music, singing. Some people would like to work on the past tense.
Some websites that students shared as being helpful to them are npr.com, voanews.com, cnn.com, manythings.org,livemocha.com,learningEnglish.com.
We discussed the verb "introduce." For example, "My sister introduced me to her friend."
Homework: By Sunday morning you need to find a short video, conversation, interview, or some other example of spoken English, that is at the right speed for you, and then email me the URL. I will share some of these with you on Tuesday.
On Monday, I will be absent, and Rita Mejitas will be your teacher. Please welcome her and do not bring any snakes to class.
