It's difficult to say which job I'd like to have. I think that's because I love doing so many different things in life, I would be happy working in any of them. I think my ideal job would be to have a house in the country where I would grow my own food and cook and also teach students part-time. I'm a bit of a hippy and I love nature. I want to have a big garden near to a forest and a lake where I can go and forage and fish and only buy the minimum of things. 

I love teaching. I think it's important and I enjoy doing it, but I would prefer to have that as one activity as well as others. Maybe I could be a house keeper and teach private class once or twice a day. That sounds nice. 

I do like travelling, but not for work. As long as I can get there on my bike then I'll be happy. Even more fun would be if I lived somewhere snowy, I could go to work on skis. 

I don't want to work in an office either, unless I'm there to give a class. Offices are too sterile and small. They're so depressing and the people there look so unhealthy, slowly poisoning themselves with bad coffee and a lack of daylight. 

Post 4 - STRIKE!

Today I'd like you to write about the protests that are happening this week.

Include the following.

• What's happening?
• Why are there strikes and marches?
• What's your opinion? Do you support this movement? Are there other ways that you would prefer?

A SUBJECT YOU ENJOYED AT SCHOOL

Record a 2 minute mobile phone video presentation about a subject you enjoyed at school

Say:

• What the subject was,
• Who taught it,
• Why you enjoyed it,
• What things you learnt in this subject.
• Mention anything else you think is important.

Send the video (or a link) to my email. 

Deadline: 20th May. 

A mobile phone video presentation is a video of the student talking directly to the camera. 

This activity is seen as part of the learning process. Videos are made in the students’ own 

time and they are free to practice and record as many versions as they see fit in order to 

complete the task. However, the final video must be in one take (i.e. they must not be 

edited). Moreover, you should be able to see the student clearly in the video (i.e. No 

sunglasses!). If you think that the text is being read you can arrange for the student to re-

record it or repeat the talk in class. Please make students aware of this fact.

This week you have a choice. Choose one of the following options.

Holidays:

- when it was
- where you went

- any other relevant info

Concert:

Post 2 - Paris

Today is a free choice and together we decided to write about Paris.

I think we can be quite free with the development of the text today.

However, you must write at least 150 words.

And write a comment on three of your classmates' blogs.
