group "english practice"

[ludi]

Good evening everybody!

Here is my summary:

The document we have to study is an article from the BBC news. This text is titled Teacher crisis could hit Scotland and was published in december, 2004.

This article deals with a problem Scotland could be face: the lack of teachers. The Scottish Secondary Teachers' Association (SSTA) worries about the fact that the teachers level of age is rising. According to the General secretary of the SSTA, it is necessary to take measures for avoiding a crisis. As a matter of fact, lot of scottish teachers will be in retirement at the same time and it will be difficult to find teachers to replace them mostly because the available supply is already at a low ebb.

Moreover , the SSTA tells its member to refuse covering classes of absent colleagues beyond the limits of their local or national agreements in a worry of professionalism.

Government insists that the situation is under control and that future is planned.

maybe we could have a chat sometimes about the text we studied, but i am not very free, twice a month woud be my best, and you?

For my part I prefer another text, but if the group agrees on the text of this week it will be OK for me.

Hello everybody,

I think the way we work is really interesting to be (?) prepared for the exam so I'd like to continue that way

As regards to the chat, do we need a microphone (Oblivion, you talked about the rhythm, the accent...) because I haven't got one. Otherwise, I'll be very happy to join you on next monday.

Talk you soon ! (can I say that as we say "see you soon"?)

PS: I'll write my summary tomorrow, I was a little bit lazy this week

Hi Milla

As regards to the chat, do we need a microphone (Oblivion, you talked about the rhythm, the accent...) because I haven't got one. Otherwise, I'll be very  happy to join you on next monday.

Actually, I was not talking about Monday's chat when I said we should work on our accent etc. Sorry if I was not clear on that point So you will not need a microphone Audio sessions aren't possible on the chat.

But feel free to join us on Monday

Talk you soon ! (can I say that as we say "see you soon"?)

Sure But don't forget the "to" ==> Talk to you soon

[Milla]

Thank you Oblivion
