This past week we focused on the theme 'traveling' . In case you were absent, you will have the opportunity to give a presentation on December 12 (Wed.) or 17 (Mon.).
You will answer the question: Where would you recommend people go if they visit your country?
You will have 3-5 minutes to complete your presentation. There is a sign-up paper in the classroom for each class for you to choose a date. You should discuss 3-4 things people can do in the city you recommend and can use powerpoint or bring photos on a flashdrive.
You will also write your presentation and turn it in. Here is a sample paragraph and you can listen to a sample presentation.
We also listened to a long dialogue called Meg's Travels. I recommend you listen again and practice.
Below is a video called 4 Secrets to Having an American Accent. Let me know what you learn!

Next week is post-testing! Please do your best to attend class either Monday or Wednesday, but I hope you can come both days. You are required to take a pre-test and post-test to participate in our program.
Finally, if you find the USA Learns website helpful, continue practicing your reading and comprehension.
Do you ever send greeting cards to friends and family? Perhaps you are unsure what you should write inside. The websites below give you ideas for many occasions.
