G'day all
Sorry I can't be with you today but I'm thinking of you all anyway! I'm having a fantastic time here in Melbourne. I'm not winning any money but I'm having fun and enjoying the atmosphere and meeting or seeing well known TV and radio personalities! You can prepare your questions to ask me on Tuesday!
I do apologise for the difficulties you experienced last Thursday with the news item! I just don't know why I could hear it but you couldn't open anything! I tried to do it again but couldn't get the audio to work. I'll try again when I have more time!
Remember too to take the time to do some more research for your presentation. Hopefully you'll be able to use the printer today!
Continue with Living English and don't forget to read the grammar attached to each one and try the 'quiz' too!
I think you enjoyed adding comments on the wallwisher, didn't you?! Amanda and Aree treated it like a live 'chat' and sent comments to You Tao! I hadn't thought of doing that but what a good idea! You can do that if you like but you must remember to click the Refresh button (those 2 little arrows on the top menu bar) to get the updates!
Happy blogging!

Week 3
G'day all
Well you all worked hard again last week with the BTN news story! It's amazing to think about how much food we waste, isn't it?
Remember that the posts you publish make up part of your writing portfolio so it is very important to write in your blogs when I ask you to!
I hope you enjoyed the Living English videos and grammar last week! The story builds from week to week and the language and grammar get harder! You can also follow this series at home. There is a permanent link to the site in the sidebar on the right of this blog! Check out the other links too! You'd never know what you can find!!!
I mentioned last Thursday and again on Tuesday about the oral presentations you will all have to do on November 15. Why don't you take some time today to do some research on your topic? If you know powerpoint, you can use it during your presentation! You will need some photos or objects so make sure you get them early!!!
If you get tired of doing research, you can choose something to do... either grammar or listening!
Happy blogging!

Week 2
G'day all
I hope you're not feeling too hot today with the sudden rise in temperature!!
The first thing I'd like you to do today is to finish off any work from last week that needs to be done! Some of you work a bit more slowly than others so you need a bit more time! I hope you all had a good laugh at Mr Bean!
I enjoyed having a chat with you on Tuesday about shopping habits you had in your home country and those you have now. It's interesting how many 'good' habits there were and we're trying to adopt them now in Australia! I hope it's not too late!
Do you have any food waste in your home? Have a look at this BTN video and answer the questions on this worksheet. Print it off if you like! Try to answer the questions at the end of the page without reading the text! You can give me the completed worksheet to correct!
When you finish this work, have a look at Living English and work through some of the episodes. It's a very good way to improve your listening and grammar at the same time!

Term 4, Week 1
G'day all and welcome back to Term 4!
I hope you enjoyed the time away from TAFE but I hope you haven't forgotten how to blog!!!
On Tuesday, we talked a lot about plastic bags and the problems they create. Have look at this BTN video which looks at many of the same things as we did. You can read the tapescript if you like. When you finish watching the video, open your blog and start a new post. In the title write Plastic Bags. In your post write 5 pieces of information about plastic bags. For example, you could write some positive and negative things: They are light and easy to carry; They are dangerous because small children can suffocate if they put them on their heads etc...
When you've finished that, look at this YouTube video with Mr Bean. Then in your blog, write a recount of the story!
