Week 6


March 21 2011
 G'day all!

Do you know what Australia is celebrating today? For those of you who don't then it's Harmony Day. What is Harmony Day? What does it mean? Have a look at this link and watch the video with Senator Lundy and answer these questions to help you better understand the concept of Harmony Day.

Here at TAFE, we'll celebrate this event on Wednesday afternoon with a little get-together in the Conference room. There will be couple of students talking about their experiences in Australia and some singing too! As with every celebration, there will be food of course, but we are asking the students to 'bring a plate'!!!!

There will also be tea and coffee available! How many of you drink coffee? What do you like? Flat white? Cappuccino?? Have a listen to this interview with Annette who used to work in the college canteen. Print off the worksheet too and complete it. As this is a casaul conversation not everything that is said is clear because there is a bit of background noise. I do think though that it is clear enough for you to complete the worksheet.

Last semester, I posted links to an English radio podcast every week. I know that it was well liked by those who listened to it. How would you like to follow this English serial here every week? It's called The Road Less Travelled. Try out this podcast and print off the activities. Hope you enjoy the story! If you're interested then I'll publish the links each week and you can follow the story. Write a comment at the end of this post if you'd like to have this on the blog.
