Current Affairs
This week Gary's class of adult students have been looking at stories in the news that they found interesting to practice ‘reporting language’. Here are a few examples of what they wrote:

from chewing gum on board.

Apple Pay system when it launches on Tuesday."

missing in the jungle has been found alive after nearly 3 weeks.
"Changes are expected to occur in order to stop the deaths of

"According to Ofsted, many students can leave school without
a clear legal requirement for schools to establish exactly where they are going

Superstitions
Jake's class have been busy sharing lots of
ideas and info about their diverse backgrounds. In one lesson, they were
discussing different superstitions from their countries. Here is what they
wrote:
In Brazil, if you walk under a ladder, you will have bad
luck.
"In Ukraine, if you see a black cat across the street, you
should turn and walk the other way!"
Also in Ukraine, if someone crosses the road in front of you
with an empty basket, you will have bad luck on that day.
"In Russia, if you spill salt, you will have bad luck."
And finally, some good luck…
If you see a rainbow, you will have a good time!
