Homework: Tell a Piece of News

This is the homework for next week: find the relation between the following terms and explain the piece of news orally in class

Michelle Obama + Argo  + Iranian TV news

Remember to find an answer to the basic questions: who?, when?, where?, what?, why?. If you can answer all those questions and manage to put the information together so that it makes sense, then you will have a good piece of news.

As for the oral part, tell the story to yourself in front of a mirror so that you can practise both pronunciation and intonation and, at the same time, you can see how "real" you sound. This kind of practice will help you to be sure of yourself for your delivery in class because you will soon be aware of the vocabulary you lack or of the part that is the most difficult for you; therefore, you can rehearse different ways to express the ideas until you get the speech right. Remember to use a pronunciation tool to find out the pronunciation of the words that you do not know.

Here are some tips for you to prepare the content:

1. Michelle Obama:



2. Argo






By the way, don´t forget to give your point of view regarding the story.
