Healthy Living and Phones

Hello Everyone!

Practice with Phones

If you want to learn more about leaving a message, watch this video.
What do you notice about Mrs Ming's message? What do you notice about Ms Ran's message and what Anthony writes?

This is a more modern example of many types of messages on the answering machine. Which ones are formal? Which are informal? Can you call the receptionist "babe" or "dear"?
Watch the video here.

Even more information about telephones can be found here. This is a long video.

Teacher Lucy's blog also has more information about using the telephone.
Visit it here.

Studying at home

I have found some great resources you can use at home ( especially over winter break)

Duolingo has lessons in many languages.

Talk with people in English on Skype through My Language Exchange. Why would it be helpful? you can have an online dictionary open at the same time! I do recommend talking to your neighbours as well.

Hear many words and phrases pronounced her at forvo.com
