Monday's Assignment

Welcome back!



To begin with, copy the following questionnaire onto your blog and answer the questions:

What do you want to study in LINC? Directions:

1. Add additional topics to this list. 
2. Then prioritize the topics by putting them in the right order--the most urgent and important ones at the top. 

• Medical issues (going to the doctor and hospital, phoning an ambulance, and staying healthy by eating well and exercising) 
• Information about Canada (what's in the news, aboriginal people, government, history, geography, customs and everyday life) 
• Employment (how to write a resume and covering letter, where and how to look for a job) 
• Canadian law and the police (individual rights and responsibilities, zero tolerance, traffic laws) 
• Housing (changing apartments, tenants rights, buying a house) 
• Education (the education system, contact with your child's school) 
• Consumer information (buying things, servicing and repairing cars and other items) 
• Insurance (public car insurance, private life and house insurance) 
• Banking and money (using bank machines, how to save on taxes) 
• Other - please specify 

Write one sentence on what you hope to be able to do in the next 3 months in each of the four skills: Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing. This list of skills may help. E.g. "I hope to be able to read and follow instructions and warnings on a label for a common chemical product (such as cleaning products, paint thinner) used at home or at work."

Finally, write a short report about your break last week. Did you make any new friends?
