Great to see you here!

Hi guys,

I just read all of your comments and it is very nice to see that most of you have, at least, entered the blog. That's a good start!

I'd also want to tell you about the homework for next Thursday. This is what you have to do:

-Enter the site of National Public Radio (it is under the heading of Listening comprehension).
-Go to the bottom of the page; look for the program Weekend Edition Sunday and click there.
-Click on the program Taking the Great American Road Trip, Google-Style. Listen to it and answer the following questions:

1. How are the two men taking their trip?
2. Where did they start their trip and where is it ending?
3. What have they done so far?
4. Have other people travelled with them?
5. Do they have plans of continuing the trip after reaching their destination?
6. Would you join their trip? Why? Why not?

Bring your answers to class on Thursday, we'll check them and talk about the listening text.

See you tomorrow!
