Thursday 20/02/14

Today we finished off Unit 3, hearing the town improvement proposals by the remaining groups, watching a video about Mali and listening to two people talking about their countries.
We also listened to an interesting presentation by Margari on "tapping" (I've got bruises already, but still haven't won the lottery....!)

February so far...

Aside from the progress test, this month we've looked at connectors in text (conjunctions, etc). We also went through a register transfer text, reviewed prefixes and looked at expressions for making proposals (Unit 3.3).
By the way, the text on the Hotel Chelsea always reminds me of this Dylan song , written after the breakup of his marriage. One verse goes:

I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells
I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
Staying up for days in the Chelsea Hotel
Writing "Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" for you.
