Hello everyone:

We’ve been talking about men and women and stereotypes in general. On this occasion, first, I’d like us to talk about personality. Please open wordreference.com to look for any vocabulary and visit:

http://www.youniverse.com/quiz/advanced_personality

Read the feedback carefully and MAKE SURE you write down (on your notebook)all the points you agree and disagree with.
Once you get your feedback, please make sure to go to the homepage and choose one of the topics (on the tabs) to take a second quiz on any of the topics (love, art, movies, etc.)

Later, I’d like you to visit www.santiagotimes.cl and choose a piece of news there. Take notes of What happened/ When/ Who was involved/ Why is it relevant to you.
Choose a different or the same newspaper in English and a different piece. Take notes as well.

Thank you.
Extra pronunciation practice
Listen and repeat
