CHAT
Online 'chats' give you the
opportunity to use language in an authentic and meaningful way and discuss
about anything with a person sitting anywhere in the world. You are going
to participate in a Chat, and discuss "real time" with your friends
from different schools.
-
Go to the document "Window
on Britain" again.
-
Read the document "Bits about
the Brits", about young British style. Copy and save this document as "uni4tas3".
-
The text names at least 4 different
youth styles or movements. What are they?
-
Which of these styles do you
feel more comfortable with?
-
Finally, read the following
story:
Fiona was a girl from Brighton. Her family was very rich and her father,
Sir Wilson, was a popular man among the British aristocracy. Fiona
was very happy because she had fallen in love with John. But Fiona's father
did not like John. He had not meet him yet, but he knew he was a
punk. He wore a pin through his nose and his hair was orange and fixed
into hard spikes with glue. Sir Wilson would never accept John.

Think about this story and
decide if you agree with Sir Wilson or not. Think of different reasons
to argument your decision, for or against. Write them on a piece of paper.
Then, discuss it with friends from other schools through a CHAT.
Once you have
joined a chat remember to follow the steps below:
