Week 3

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!
