Cats versus dogs

Publicat el 6 de maig de 2016 per MIREIA XORTO PRADOS

Dog lover Chris Packham and cat lover Liz Bonnin travel around the UK finding out more about the animals and what makes each so special.

But which do you prefer? Are you crazy about cats or do you dig dogs?

Watch the video here.

Submit a comment. Here you are some examples:

Cats because you can play with them and they will cuddle you as well. They are really fluffy too. Nicole, Peterborough, England

I prefer dogs, as I have always loved dogs, and a lot more responsibility is needed. Amy

I prefer dogs, specifically because you can teach them tricks and they are so energetic whereas cats are quite lazy! Evie, Bedford, England

I love dogs because you really get to know them. DOGS RULE! Lucy, Bucks, England

I prefer dogs because when cats stand on you their claws dig in your leg. Mia, Wolverhampton, England

Dogs because they are more interactive and they are lovable and so cute. Jessica, Milton Keynes, England

I like cats better than dogs because you don’t have to spend as much money or time on them. Sarah, Wales

I think cats are amazing because they are cute and fluffy. Olivia, Rochdale, England

Oral Presentation on a Sport

Publicat el 27 d'abril de 2016 per MIREIA XORTO PRADOS

Remember to include bibliography, webgraphy and to use images labeled for reuse.

You can include a clip… (in English!)

Do not copy paste from the Internet. Use your own words.

Try searching for information on different sites. Simple English Wikipedia can be better than Wikipedia in English.

Do not fill your slides with too much text, just facts and figures and key words. You can use index cards to remember what you want to explain. 

When delivering the presentation, feel confident, make eye contact with your audience and smile at them, be sure to have inflection in your voice so that you engage listeners, use hand motions and beware of your body language.

Don’t forget to include a table of contents at the beginning.

Prepare a worksheet for your classmates about sport equipment & rules & trivia.
