For homework, please:
1. Transcribe "Don't step on my blue suede shoes" into IPA and two other favorite song titles of yours.
2. Check your work on "Why Mount Everest is so dangerous" (http://www.economist.com/blogs/economist-explains/2016/06/economist-explains-6)and see if you can come up with other semantically- and gramatically-sound options for the blanks.
3. Read through the rules on gerund and infinitive on pgs. 93-98 of the reader and complete exercises 1 and 2 on pgs. 99-100.
4. Watch a random YouTube clip of German director Werner Herzog (one of your greatest!) speaking English and identify five features of his English that make it characteristically German.
5. Skim through the rest of the "What's the Best Sense" responses, paying attention to vocabulary (available here: https://www.1843magazine.com/intelligence/the-big-question/whats-the-best-sense)
6. Have a look at (and listen to) this audio phonemic chart: https://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/article/phonemic-chart
Vocab note: I did some investigation and onomatopoeia is the standard in both varieties.
