Staying With Travel

Hello Travelers!

Hope you are enjoying your warm weekend!

Good News! No quiz this week! However, we will continue with our chapter on travel. Homework is on the homework page.

Remember to post your listening log here.  I look forward to seeing it.

See you tomorrow!

Ms. Gross

PS. Saw this on Wilshire Blvd.

Happy Labor Day!

I hope you are all having fun, enjoying a well-deserved break.

Because, on Wednesday we are having another quiz!

The quiz will cover the sentences we worked on last week, plus the vocabulary on pages 34-35.

Your homework is on the homework page.

Please post:

1) your listening log
2) what fun things you did over this long weekend.

See you on Wednesday!

After Monday's Class

Hi Linkers!

How are you?  Did you notice how the w connects to the a in How and Are? So it sounds like Ho Ware?

Try saying this dialogue aloud - to a roommate, for example:

SQUID: I_had_an_apple_and_a_cup_of_orange juice. 
WILMA: I_know.
SQUID: My_cup_is_empty.
WILMA: Henry_drank_it.
SQUID: Henry_stole_it.
WILMA: That's_a_matter_of_opinion.

Fun, right? 

Also, say these phrases: 

wake up and way cup
mice eat and my seat

Do the phrases sound identical or different? I'll ask you in class on Wednesday. 

Check out the homework page for your assignments, but post your listening log here.

Hi everyone!

I hope you have wonderful plans for the weekend! Remember not to get ripped off, messed up or end up paying for something through the nose!

And see how much fun it is to use our new vocabulary?

We are having another quiz on Monday. To prepare, look over your corrections on the last quiz, and also review the vocabulary on page 29 and 33, plus the listening exercise - transcript on page 224 - about the pet peeves of the four speakers.

Remember to post your listening log here.

Your homework is on the homework page.

If you give your speech about one of our featured links on Monday, remember to include the elements we discussed yesterday. They can be found on the Speech format page at http://lspucla.blogspot.com/p/websiteyoutube-speech-format.html.

See you on Monday!

Ms. Gross
