Please have a listen to the first piece and try to copy the pronunciation.
BBC English - Answering the phone - Audio.

Now listen to the second part - taking messages.
  1. Download the worksheet and print it out.
  2. Listen to the audio recording.
  3. See if you can put the conversation in the right order on the worksheet.
  4. Listen again and practise the pronunciation.

Have fun learning. See you all next week.

Homework for 20th April 2010

Hi there folks!

Thanks for a great first lesson. It was really nice to have met you all.

Here's are the slides I used for my 1 minute "Introduce Myself" presentation. Please make a similar (short) presentation to introduce yourself to the class for next week's lesson.


Remember: it only needs to be one minute long. Actually there are too many slides in this version here. Yours can be shorter.

If you can't manage to prepare a PowerPoint presentation for next week, just bring some photos to class. Make sure that they present you though! Also, make sure that you are ready to talk about your presentation to the class!

See you next week.

Seth.
