For homework, please read the article posted on Ilias under "Inhalt" and in the folder "Readings for Week One" entitled "Financial Advice for Brother":
1) read "Financial Advice for Brother"out loud and bring any questions you might have regarding pronunciation to class.
2) look up the meanings of all unknown words.
3) jot down notes concerning how you would respond to the writer's problem BEFORE you read Ms. Barbieri's response
4) now read Ms. Barbieri's response out loud and a) write down the good vocabulary you find in and b) decide what points you agree with her on and which ones you don't. Bring these notes with you to next week's session.
Watch two of the 5-minute debates on this site https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/series/five-minute-debates and be prepared to debate one of the questions with your partner in class.
Prepare responses to the following debate questions (bring these notes to our next session):
1. Are people ruder today than they were 10 years ago?
2. Is it better to grow up without social media than not?
3. Should we do away with grades and assess performance in all courses on a pass/fail basis?
