Class 8 (week 9): Unit 8; inventions
Hello everyone,
Today we got back our grades for the midterm. I gave you a score out of 30 points. That is 30% of your total score for the class. I also gave you some feedback about your speaking tests.
After that, we started unit 8. We talked about the difference between inventions and discoveries and then talked about some standout examples of each and how they have changed the world and society in which we live. This You Tube link to a documentary is an interesting watch. An interesting article on the BBC website related to antibiotics shows that we have to reconsider our use of them.
We also learned some phrases to describe products that take advantage of new technology / offer high quality / use new ideas or concepts.
There is a presentation contest being run by the university with some big prizes. If you are interested, you can read the information in this LINK. If anyone wants to enter, I will be available to support you through the process.
See you all next class~
Ian
