What scares you?

Last class we talked about fears and I came to the conclusion I have a brave group of students! Fátima can keep her cool even when she gets stuck in the elevator. Why not relax, sit down and have a nice talk ?? Liliane enjoys experiencing turbulence during a flight!!!! It makes her sleep!!!
When Jerry was a boy, he liked to scare other kids when there was a blackout. What scares Fernanda, Cynthia and Chris the most? EATING IN A DIRTY RESTAURANT!!!!

We covered page 27 and started the reading on page 28 - Stranded climbers rescued by text message.

Don't forget our class tomorrow!

Fernanda's speech on Cuba

It was a pleasure to watch Fernanda's presentation on her trip to Cuba. Through her own fantastic pictures, Fernanda showed us the contrasts of a country which fascinates many curious tourists. Fernanda was flabbergasted by their interest in getting simple pens.

OCtober 29 - Chris' speech day! A Nutritionist's Unforgettable Experience!

I was very frustrated in this particular class because the internet was not cooperative and I could not show my students a wonderful powerpoint presentation that Frank, the course supervisor, had added to our wiki. So we had a "traditional" class on adjective clauses and did the exercises on page 17. The last minutes of the class were dedicated to Chris' speech.

Chris decided to share a personal experience she had when she was doing her internship at HBDF. Chris was at the hospital visiting the patients and checking how well they had accepted their diets when something very unusual (At least to her!!) happened. Unfortunately, an old patient died in her own arms. It was definitely a very difficult situation for a young nutritionist to deal with.

Have you completed unit 1 in the workbook?
