Hello guys and dolls,



We've been very busy with our reading and writing tests and haven't had much time for our bloge.




Never mind. Now, I have something to help you further. As we are entering the Listening test week, I would like you to practice your listening skills with the help of online listening sites.


With simple exercises:

Tons of hugs.

This week we have to move on to new ground. Remember I spoke to you about British English versus American English? Well, we are going to learn further about it.

First, I'm going to give you some lists of words. Then, we are going to find out about other differences in the two linguistic systems (to systematize what I introduced in class)

Word lists:

Other differences:

• http://www.onestopenglish.com/grammar/grammar-reference/american-english-vs-british-english/differences-in-american-and-british-english-grammar-article/152820.article
• http://www.perfectyourenglish.com/writing/american-and-british.htm

And finally I want you to do some exercises on this subject matter because we don't have much time to practice it in class.

Exercises:

• http://www.englisch-hilfen.de/en/exercises_list/alle_words.htm
• http://www.english-in-chester.co.uk/e-learning/lesson/differences-between-british-english-and-american-english/

• http://www.englishexercises.org/makeagame/viewgame.asp?id=3699
• http://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/grammar-exercises/british-english-and-american-english

To verify your work to me, I want you to print at least three of the exercises on one of the categories (eg. vocabulary differences, grammar, spelling, etc.) and give them to me.    

Thank you,

and see you in class.

Bye
