All - Speaking

Hi there!

Here's a link to an interesting project developed by the EOI at Málaga. You can listen to various students telling a story in the different levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. As you know, our assessment criteria at the EOI are based on this "Framework." Remember that the correspondences are:

CEFR EOI
A1 - NB1
A2 - NB2
B1 - NI2
B2 - NA2

Orangutan Does Housework

Hi there!

Since we've been studying household chores vocabulary, you may want to write a story about the orangutan in this video. A first student starts the story in the comment section and, instead of writing new ones, a second student completes it by adding adjectives, adverbs, or anything the first student might have forgotten. You just have to copy and paste the first student's story in another comment, and so on with the third, fourth, fifth, etc. student.
You should construct a story that suits the orangutan but of course you can set your imagination free by making up any details that make the story a more entertaining one.

[PS. I put this under "Fun stuff," but after reading one of the comments on YouTube, that when orangutans cover their face, that means they're depressed, I'm not so sure I find it fun... I apologize to orangutans in advance in case such comment is right ;-)]
