Hello!

In order to prepare our conversation group next week, I recommend you to carefully watch these video (in two parts), that can be useful to review the verbs we need to explain a recipe.

I wish you a pleasant weekend! 

 

Health, Body, and Well-Being

Hi there, dear conversationalists!

Next week we are going to talk about health, the body, and well-being. Here you have a couple of activities for the next days.

1. VERY EASY.

First of all, I recommend that you listen carefully to this audio. They talk about home remedies. Prepare yourselves to answer this question:

Which home remedies do they talk about, and to which health problems can they be applied?

 

2. MORE DEMANDING 

What actually happens to your body when you are sick? I propose you this video from the Kurzgesagt YouTube channel. Before watching it you may want to prepare a bit of vocabulary:

GENERIC NOUNS: cell, amino acid, antibody, protein, microorganism, toxin, wound, scar, black eye, bruise.

SPECIFIC NOUNS: cytokine, B cell, neutrophil, macrophage, collagen, collagen, corona virus.

DISEASES: Black Death, HIV, ebola, flu, influenza, measles.

ADJECTIVES: resilient, immune, sleepy, apathetic, anxious, gooey, bacterial.

ADVERBS: sloppily.

 And... be careful with these two false friends: ingenuity, to pretend.

Welcome!
