Description- This is one of the most popular lessons for intermediate to advanced students.
In these lessons we look at a general news article in English.
First I ask the student to read the article so I can check their pronunciation. Next I ask the student if they have any
questions about anything in the article. After that we go on to the discussion questions located towards the bottom of the
page. The student will be speaking for 90% of the time and I'm
happy to correct any errors using the skype chat facility. The
lessons are generally taken from the following website:
http://www.breakingnewsenglish.com/index.html
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any further
questions. I look forward to meeting you soon.
