Student Zone: March 2019

As promised, here are the links from our class this week:

(I don't remember how this came up in the context of crime, but anyway) :)

Some interesting discussions last night! Here are the links about climate change that I promised you, plus a couple more:

My friend Remko’s TEDx talk about rising sea levels and how they are measured: https://youtu.be/Vt8D-gWa2hk

You can find free courses by EUMETSAT and FutureLearn here: https://www.futurelearn.com/partners/eumetsat

Finally, for those of you who were struggling with how to say ‘i’ or ‘e’ or ‘j’ or ‘g’, here’s an Alphabet song to help you revise how to say the letters of the alphabet! http://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/songs/the-alphabet-song

First of all, apologies for the delay in posting this. I was busy with reports and parent-teacher meetings last week, and got a bit behind!

Here are links relating to reporting verbs, which was the language focus of last class. I've also included one on reported speech from LearnEnglish Teens, as it's quite a good summary of the grammar.

Here's the link to Jamie Oliver's TED talk. If you haven't seen this, it is really worth watching it. You can choose subtitles in either English or Portuguese. I recommend you try to watch it with subtitles in English first, and only use the Portuguese subtitles if you can't understand it.
