1. Write a short email to your friend (about 100 words). Tell your friend your feelings about this and what you plan to do.
Hey Salima.
I am so upset. The photographer that I told you about has canceled. I am a big fan of his work and I wanted him to sign a photo for me. I will probably still go to the exhibit, but it won’t be the same.
Speak soon,
Go’zal
2. Write an email to the president of the club (about 120-150 words). Tell them your thoughts about this and what you would like to do.
Dear Angela,
Thank you for your email.
I am upset to hear the news about John Lethbridge, who can no longer attend the event. I had been looking forward to the social for months with the hope that I could meet my favourite photographer. I have followed him and his work for years. In fact, he is the reason I started taking photos! I know I will still enjoy the exhibit, but it won’t be as great.
I have spoken to others and I know that many fellow club members are also quite disappointed in this. We purchased tickets with the promise of meeting our idol. Do you think the club can try to reschedule his appearance? It would be great if he could come to our next social or if we could arrange another time.
Please let me know if this is possible.
Regards,

3. Reading
Read the four opinions posted on a teacher’s forum. Then, answer the questions.
Person A: I think it is important to get with the times. Nowadays, students are totally addicted to their smart phones. Instead of fighting them on it, I asked them how I could engage them better. Students answered a few questions about how they wanted to use social media more productively. So, I started a class hashtag. Students can contribute to discussions using it and add links to justify their points. I monitor it and I see them engaging with it to ask questions about homework as well. I also encourage students to use it to tell me what they like and dislike about the lessons.
Person B: I’ll admit, I doubted technology’s effectiveness in the class. I thought that because I learned without it, it was an unnecessary feature. In fact, I used to make students switch off their phones before entering the room. However, I changed my mind when a fellow teacher showed me a website that she used in class. It allows students to log in with their smartphones in order to play a game as a class. My students love it and it works so well for review lessons and to break up mundane tasks.
Person C: I am a younger teacher, so there is a lot of expectations of me from the senior staff members and management. While they prefer more traditional methods, I have found the greatest success when I use technology in my lesson whether that be showing a video clip, using a slideshow, etc. I don’t think I would be able to teach a lesson without it! After my lesson observation, the principal asked me to lead a staff meeting on how to engage students using multimedia in class. It was an honour to be asked. I know it will be a lot of work, but I would love to help my colleagues out in order to make the students’ learning experience better.
Person D: When I began teaching teens, I found I was unable to capture their attention. They were constantly texting, or scrolling through social media during lessons and it was hard to establish rules with them. Even when I forbid them from using their mobile phones in class, I would catch them sneakily using them under their desks. I understand that it is important for teens to keep in touch. Thus, if we are able to get through all the material, I permit them to have a 5-minute break on their devices. I have found this to be quite effective.
