Week of April 26-20, 2021

Hello everyone,

We are now done with the theme of Social Media. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the topic. Thank you also to those who did the assessments.  

Now we are starting a new topic: Cooking. Although for most this is an everyday task/chore, it is also a profession for some. In this unit, we will study/review language related to cooking, grammar issues, and explore issues around it.
