A few weeks ago, we got to give a lesson to the rest of our class based on a comedy clip. We first had to choose a comedian and then a clip in which there was enough vocabulary and content so we could do our lesson.

I found that picking a comedian was not as easy as it seemed at first. There were many and I couldn’t understand a few of them, but I finally chose Russell Howard. This comedian has done more long clips than short ones, so I also found it difficult to find a two-minute clip. However, I was satisfied with the one I picked as it was easy to understand and quite entertaining.

At first I was nervous to give a lesson, as it was one of the first times I had given one. At the end, however, I found it was fun, as I got to interact with the class and debate on some of the points Howard mentioned.

I personally thought giving a lesson was not difficult at all, but getting the class to be attentive and interested at what you’re saying is quite challenging.
