Homework: Page 111
The following video is an interesting TedTalk about creativity in education. It will be useful for next class. There is a lot of great vocabulary so you’ve also got the transcript too.
In class two we are looking at how to write a letter to an editor. In class we are going to prepare by discussing education, and more specifically in Spain. We’ll study some expressions related to education that you can use in your letter and then how to structure a letter to an editor.
Homework:

Yours sincerely
Prof Collins
