Warm Up near future global warming Mad Max Australia Today we listened to another audio document from the Internet. Here's what we understood:   It is about a woman. Her name is Luz Diaz. She tells her own immigration story, and her future ambitions. Her dream is to help her country. 1970 is when she came to the USA. Brice understood that for 15 years she was illegal, she said she was invisible in the USA, but after the Amnesty Law passed in 1986, she was legal and could work totally legally. She wants to be a nurse. she works for her community, and she's a volunteer. Someone in the class was disrespectful and was indulging in fat-shaming.  Here are other words and expressions we understood: "Chuck Norris" "been card" "oh I need those documents, and she laughed" MUCH / MANY  

Warm Up a series / a show creatures / critters the plague is an epidemic an experience / an experiment We listened to an audio document. Yacine could hear the word "Jamaica." We also understood that it was about a woman that spoke quietly. She came to England 30 years ago. She was living with her grandmother in Jamaica, but she had to leave because her mother was in England. She was sad because she loved her grandmother. She had to have a passport. Maybe she spoke quietly because she was scared. That's what Seyfana imagined. Others thought she was sad, or tired. then, she talked about her first impression. It was about how different the weather was. She discovered snow, it was all frozen. She had never experienced that in Jamaica. S he said she enjoyed snow when she was  13. We also thought we could hear the word "memorize."
