This course has gone really quickly and we have only oral exam and two lessons left next week. This week we listened to a few new texts and my favorite text was chapter 10 Welcome to My World because the narrator spoke with an African-American accent. I love that accent so it was nice to hear that text. We also listened to other accents, for example Scottish and Indian, with some warm up exercise with jokes. I think it's cool that English is a global language and has the different accents so therefore it's a colorful language and all dissimilar varieties are allowed.
We discussed about debating and agreeing and disagreeing. We went through some useful debating phrases for example how to opening a debate and how to show in a polite way that you are disagreeing. In groups we read a few debating topics and we thought that one of the most interesting topics was 'Stricter laws should be passed to limit gun ownership'.
On Thursday we could choose independently which exercises we would do. In my group we discussed about old inventions and how more modern inventions have replaced them. We also chatted about expenditure and why some people spend a lot of money on status symbols. The conversations were interesting! It's was nice that we had opportunity to choose which exercises we want to do.
