After Christmas... Exchanges, gifts and presents!

 Hello!

Our next meeting will be in January, after these holidays. By then we are going to talk about Exchanges, Gifts, and Presents. As some of you know from past year, we shall start by talking about three videos:

1. Gift Giving with Rachel

2. 10 Types of Gift Givers

3. The Present

But we also recommend you to watch the first episode of Lifetime. Learn English Conversation by Oxford English Daily, 45 minutes of a show that can make you gradually more and more familiar with common language usage situations:

Lifetime, episode 01

In any case, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Shopping

 Dear conversationalists!

Next week is perhaps one of the best moments to talk about shopping: shortly after Black Friday, and almost immediately before Christmas... For that reason we propose you to watch two videos:

 

An easy video about Black Friday

 

A more complex one about the history of consumerism

Oh, yes, the second one is extremely difficult, you could barely understand 10% of it... Don't worry! Just watch it again, put the subtitles on, play it at a slower pace, take your notes... And remember that there is no need for understanding every single word of it, but just the general idea.

Clothing & Fashion, Family

Hi!

Here you can find two sets of homework. First of all, there's a video specifically for the group scheduled on Monday (December 4th, 1 pm). If you scroll down, you can also find the materials for all groups for the week of December 11th-14th. The first set is about the topic "Clothing and Fashion," while the latter is about the topic "Family."

December 4th. The True Cost of Fast Fashion

 

December 11th-14th. Family

Can you describe what happens in these two videos?

 

  

 See you soon!
