Day 3

I believed everyone in class this morning had a wonderful time because Val brought a music CD with her to the classroom and taught us many English songs with familiar tunes, such as Glad to See You by Peter & Ellen Allard, My Father Has a Sister by Uwe Kind and so on. Also she taught us how to write our own songs for spoken English practice. We were divided into groups of 3-6. Each group had about 10 or 15 minutes to make it. Finally, many groups shared their songs to the whole class. And some of the songs were fairly creative and amazing. In the afternoon, Val offered us three important websites for spoken English practice activities. And then we focused on our assignment, To Turn a Good Activity into a Complete Lesson with an information gap provided by Val. It took us nearly an hour to make it with the help of Val and some other American friends. Actually, we found it difficult but helpful.
