Remembrance Day

Hello LINC 7 Students,

Here's a link to information about Greater Vancouver's Remembrance Day ceremonies on Monday.

One of the main ceremonies that day is at the Victory Square Cenotaph downtown.

Please answer the questions on your handout. You may have to do some extra research too!

In honour of Remembrance Day, here is the link to Leonard Cohen reading the poem "In Flanders Fields," an important poem about war and death.

Yukon Gold Rush

Hello LINC 7 Students!

Here's the link to the God Rush video. Please watch it and answer the questions.

If you're interested in the process of how miners actually got the gold out of the ground, please watch the first 8 minutes of this video on the Alaska Gold Rush (especially the section from 3:30 to 6:30).

In addition, here's the link to the short excerpt from Friends that we watched today (from the Halloween episode).

Online Listening Library!

Greetings LINC 7 Students,

Since many of you want to improve your listening skills, here's an opportunity to practice at home.

It's a wonderful online resource called ELLO:

ELLO: English Language Listening Library Online (http://www.elllo.org/index-levels.htm)

Each lesson has audio, a script, a vocabulary exercise, and a short quiz to test your comprehension. 

Levels 5 - 7 are suitable for LINC 7 students, depending on your listening skills.

Please start with some listenings at Level 5, and if they are easy, move to Levels 6 and 7.

I recommend taking the time to do 2 or 3 of these lessons each day. Have fun!
