If you follow our programme sheet, you will see that lesson 4 has not been done yet, but don't worry!
In the last blog post, I mentioned the Ivory Coast listening. We will do it on Wednesday. We have done the universal currency topic and Elizabeth Taylor already.
Saying 'no' and base forms with to or -ing are missing. Don't worry!
Your package has a lot of things in it -- many different things are called "stuff" in slang English. We have a lot of stuff in our package.
Don't worry, because you are learning a lot and speaking a lot. That is the most important. We can't do all the things in the package--that's it! But...if you have free time and you want to read and do the missed exercises, please send them to me -- I will be happy to check them.
On Wednesday, we will do lesson 4 like this:
- Speaking: Building on Ideas - page 18
- Listening: VOA news from Ivory Coast
- Grammar: comparatives and superlatives - pages 19, 20, 21
Don't forget the word game I told you about in the last blog post! And...don't forget to bring a word card to the lesson -- remember, word on one side, example sentence on the other side. The bag collection is growing...
Have a good week at work, and I will see you on Wednesday.

This is Attila's comment about universal currency:
ReplyDelete"Very important question: do we need universal currency here in the world? My opinion, yes we need! Because? No first because we paying lot of transaction costs. The national currencies give opportunity the stock-exchange sharks to wangle. For example the Hungarian born György Soros, the famous stock-exchange shark often is a danger to lots of countries' economies, because he played with the rate and became a rich man. If we had universal currency, this would not be possible. The other problem: a global political event brings on stock-exchange panic. I think having lots of national currencies brings down the western culture and society."
