Please watch this video by clicking on the link below. It is about over pronouncing words from other languages that have become part of the English language.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKGoVefhtMQ
1) Do you think that borrowed words should be pronounced with their original pronunciation (accent)?
2) Do you think that imitating others accents is racist or disrespectful?
3) Do you have any friends who have done or who do embarrassing things out in public?
4) Do you have a story about seeing someone get embarrassed in public, at a party, etc?
5) What would you do if you were in the same situation as the people in the video?

Sorry for the delay, folks. I think this should be working now. Today the topic is simple, but I'd really like you to think about it before class. There are only two questions.
Do you think talent
or hard-work are more important?
Should schools offer
cash bonuses for good grades?
See you in class!

Why do you think that we have not discovered more of the
ocean?
Humans put a lot of pollution into the ocean (even big
cruise ships do this). Why do you think humans do not want to protect more of
the ocean?

What was your favourite animal?
Do you think humans will ever learn to do the things that
these animals can do? Would it be useful?
