Post #5 - Rules of Etiquette

Sometimes people from one culture think that people from another culture are rude.  In reality, they are just following different rules of etiquette.

Write 2 paragraphs comparing etiquette in two cultures you know are very different.

What rules might help people in those two cultures get along?

Here are some videos of subway etiquette in Japan and New York, that might help get you started.

Hello Everyone,

We just had a 4 day long weekend!  We had the Friday and Monday off to celebrate Family Day weekend in Alberta.  I hope that you had a great time and were able to relax and rest :)

Post # 3 - Counterfeit Products

In this unit, we have been learning about counterfeit money and counterfeit products like CDs, shoes, designer clothes, and watches. 

Write a perfect paragraph about a counterfeit product of your choice.  You are going to write about what the product is, where you can buy the product, and how you can tell it is fake (3 supporting sentences).  Finish your paragraph (conclusion) by saying if you think it's a good idea to buy this product.  Use vocabulary and grammar from the unit.

Post # 2 - Country Life or City Life

Welcome Everyone!

In Unit 2 we looked at different opinions about which is better (for kids): to grow up on a farm, or grow up in the city.  

What is your opinion about living or growing up on a farm or in the city?

Write a paragraph or more (about 100-150 words) expressing your opinion.  Remember to include some background information about your own experiences growing up.  Did you grow up on a farm or in the city?  How do you think your experiences growing up helped to shape or form your opinion?
