G'day all
I hope you've had a good week. I heard that we 'lost' another student! You're starting to drop like flies out of the class! I hope the rest of you manage to hang on until the end of the course!
To begin today, can you make sure you edit your blog post with the corrected texts. I forgot to give them to one of the other teachers to bring over to you! Sorry.
To continue, you can open this reading text. Think about the topic before you read it. Do you ever cheat? Have you ever cheated? Is there any occasion when it's 'okay' to cheat? I remember that when I used to play board games with my children I cheated sometimes to ensure that they'd win because they used to get so upset when they lost! Did I do the right thing or did I do them a disservice because they didn't get enough experience at losing and therefore didn't acquire skills to deal with failure???
When you've finished reading and you have an understanding of the vocabulary etc, print off these activites and complete them. When you finish these, you can complete the writing task for extra prectice.
Finally, have a go at this phrasal verb quiz!You can try some of the others if you like and if time permits!
Until next time! Happy blogging!

Week 2
G'day all
Welcome to our second lesson in the computer lab. I hope everyone was able to log on without any trouble this morning! During the week I manged to add most of your blog addresses to my home page. There were a couple of blogs I couldn't open because you either gave me the wrong details or I had trouble deciphering your writing! When I could open your blog I wrote comments if you had published a post!
To begin today, you can finish off the post you began last week on Computer Health and Safety. When you've done that, unjumble the 4 sentences hidden in this wordle. The larger words indicate that the word is used more than once. The first word of each sentence is capitalised. Prepositions and pronouns have been omitted! You will need to add some of these words so that you can write sentences that make sense!!!Good luck.
Since Valentine's Day was last Tuesday, I thought it was appropriate to look at the notion of love and St Valentine's Day! Did you celebrate the day with your wife/husband/partner? What did you do? Did you share a romantic time?
How did you and your wife/husband meet? Did you answer an ad in a newspaper or meet online? Have a look at this reading text which is based on a Lonely Hearts page! Print off the pages and complete the activities that go with it.
Happy blogging!

Welcome!
G'day all and welcome to AEFS Reading!
As you know, every Thursday morning, our first session will be in the computer room. I will use this session to give you various reading tasks to complete.
Your first task today is to complete some online activities about Computer Health.
While this is strictly a Reading Skills class, you will also do some writing in your blog. It will vary from answering questions on various texts to summarising what you've read. As I'm also responsible for the grammar unit in the AEFS course, I'll direct you to do activities in this area also.
Once again, welcome to the class and Happy blogging!
