This week in class....

We looked at communicative skills, of giving your point of view and explaining others' points of view. We worked on what was left of unit 11, including cleft sentences and arguing on the topics raised in the unit re: the future of the planet.

I also set you an essay writing task. I would like you to write an 'argument' essay defending your point of view. I suggest that you look at one of the argeuments form the unit, about the future of the planet and different views about what can be done, as these are topics with a lot of scope for debate, but any other topic of general social or economic relevance, provided there is a position you can take as well as a counter position you can argue against, should be suitable.

Please write somewhere around 200 words. If you can word process it, it's easier for me to read.
