Day 2: reading

On the second day of our course, we continue to do activities to know and to "break the ice". Today we have to ask our colleagues for their birth year to sit them from left to right, from the oldest to the youngest. Once we have assigned our site, we do is ask the person who is sit next to us  for her birthday more special then he or she have to explain of the rest of colleages. An activity as simple helps us to memorize the names of tod @ s and talk a little between us.

The second activity is to remember some of the words that we learned yesterday, discuss with the class and write it to stick it in one of the murals that we have in the class.

But today we are going to focus on contemporary English, on how the language is changing and creating new words that are supported by the  new speakers. Many of them come from the media and the people in the cases adopting their usual vocabulary. In this video, we hear some of them.
