Further notes
To see where I got idea for the blog challenge, see HERE. You can also get ideas for questions you might want to ask.
ReplyDeleteWhat does it mean to be a senior contributor? Do you have reviews about Azerbajan?
Would you advice your students to join ETAI?
Why do you think this blog can be useful for us?
It's Dilara
1) it means I contribute a lot :) Meanwhile I've been promoted to Top Contributor (more than 50 reviews)
Delete2) No but there's a post on my blog called "Baku: beautiful but undiscovered"
3) I think I explained it in the first lesson: I believe that during three years at David Yellin you've worked on writing essays. Writing a blog is a different genre of writing which is very popular today and it's good for you to have a go at this, less formal style of writing.

I guess most of my classmates are scared to write any comments about your facts since you are a teacher ))
ReplyDeleteI like your fact about Alfred Hedgehog ))).
I am also not keen on okra. I even asked my money back in restaurant when I first time tried okra. I just thought that the dish was spoiled.
I can imagine you as a tour guide, you must know many historical facts. Where did you work as a tour guide?
Why don't you like Skype?
Alina
Thank you, Alina.
DeleteYeah I don't know why. I don't think I'm that scary...
I was tour-guiding (unofficially) in Cyprus a bit. I've also accompanied groups (as a tour leader) to Thailand and... Jerusalem!
Re Skype I prefer to talk on the regular phone because then I can do other things at the same time (e.g. the dishes) instead of sitting in front of a computer and staring at the screen.
