What a week!

What's this a photo of? Any idea? Post your answer in comments! I'll give a small prize to the first person who answers correctly in comments and identifies the 'thing' and tells me where the photo was taken!!!!


G'day all,

Once again it's blog time! I hope you all had fun doing the work on the Queen Mary 2 last week. There is some very good work in the comments for last week. I'll be checking your blogs soon as I think some of you may have posted your answers there. It's good to see the new students' blogs also. Well done!

I forgot last week to give you the username and password for the forum so please remind me to give it to you today so that you can add your opinion! I think the latest topic is very relevant as it is what were were talking about in class on Tuesday and your 2 week homework activity! Please READ the instructions CAREFULLY BEFORE you add your opinion.

Your work for this week is from Rosa's blog post called It's still summer!. Read the post CAREFULLY and complete the activities. There are also instructions there on to add links and images to your blog.

Happy blogging!

Now to work!

G'day all,

Well this new Blogger has kept me busy trying to work out how to do all the posts, colour changes and template changes! Even Rosa was struggling yesterday tring to make the size of the sidebar headings smaller but we failed! This new Blogger is easier in one way, but not entirely flexible! I'll do my best!

Anyway, those of you who have old blogs might as well keep them as evidence of all the great work you did last year. Once again, I have included links to Rosa's 2007 blog and Time4English. I hope you make use of them.

Did any of you go to see the Queen Mary 2 or the QE2 cruise ships yesterday? They certainly caused a sensation in the harbour. The photos in the paper are amazing! I heard though, that the traffic jams and transport chaos were not good at all!



Do a search on Google and find out the following information about the ship!
1. When was she built? and where?
2. How big is the Queen Mary?
3. How many people can sail on it?
4. How many crew are on board?
5. How long did she spend in Sydney and where is she going next?

Post your answers in Comments.

When you finish, open the link to podcasts and forums and look at this week's topic and add a comment. Remember, you just click on Post New Messsage to leave a comment and don't forget to put your name at the end of the message.

Happy Blogging!

Welcome to 2007

G'day AMEP-A new and returning students! It's great to be able to blog again in a new year! We also have an extra hour each week and the class is in the morning so Vlatko and Stojan can join in!

I've kept the same template but it's a new BLOG name and address! You'll see all the links to last year's work are on the side. For new students, click on http://marion-cork.blogspot.com and you'll see what we got up to last year!

For my last year's students, I'd like you all to create a new blog and add links to last year's posts etc. I'll help you with that during the lesson.

For the new class members, you'll be starting from scratch anyway so just hang on!

I'm looking forward to a good semester's work from you all! Hope you enjoy it too.

Cheers!
