10/16 Supplemental English Boot Camp! (英文魔鬼訓練營)
發表於 : 週二 10月 11, 2016 12:14 pm
Dear friends,
Upon Kooper's invitation (thank you, Kooper! ), I'm offering another English boot camp (and turning it into an early Halloween party! ) Hope it's something you'd like to check out.
Time: Sunday, Oct. 16, 2 pm – 5 pm
Place: 夢駝鈴咖啡 (汀州路三段108號). Second floor booth (Japanese-style, shoes off). One drink minimum.
We'll play games, practice (really hard, it's a boot camp! ), and work on some tricky but must-know English expressions.
Please prepare:
(1) Draw (your own; don't print off the internet! ) on A4 paper, each on one sheet: 3 simple and clear pictures / depictions of "animal idiom" for our guessing game. (Like this example below. What's the idiom, and how do you use it?)
(2) You may know all of these "science words," but can you describe or define them—precisely? (Try first and look up later. Please don't look up their Chinese translation—I know, the temptation may be killing you! Use an English-English dictionary or look them up online in English.)
infection
cell
gene
climate
atmosphere
ecosystem
electricity
evolution
galaxy
gravity
immune system
inertia
infection
infrared radiation
meteor
mineral
molecule
organ
oxidation
photosynthesis
respiration
satellite
species
thermometer
vertebrate
greenhouse effect
zoology
algorithm
(3) Bring one costume item to dress up for Halloween! It can be as small as a button. Anything!
(4) Bring some candies and one "white elephant" gift—something you have that's perfectly fine but you don't need and yet can't bring yourself to throw away. Please don't buy anything new. Please don't bring anything too big or expensive. Please don't wrap it with gift wrap. Just put it in a used bag or wrap it with scrap paper. (Using or Burning Holiday Gift Wrap Is Not Environmentally Friendly, Washington Post)
Any gift from others that you never use? Anything you've bought then regret it? Need to cut your clutter? This is your perfect opportunity!
So there you have it. Let's practice some more English, and have fun while at it. Thanks and hope to see you then!
