Read this poem

Thou art Lord. I thank thee for my
House and my life and
Also for my friends
Near and far.
Know that I am thankful for
Shoes on my feet and food in my stomach, for
Great stars in the skies.
I love flowers with their
Vibrant rainbow of colors.
I am thankful for living in a
Nation that is free.
God, I thank thee for everything thou hast given me. Amen.
Julie McAfee

Dear pupils,

You've brought the sun into the classroom today.

I've been happy to hear the presention of your favorite town.

Your willingness to respect what I had advised you to do and all the efforts everybody has made have impressed me.

I've felt very proud of you so I just wanted to encourage you to continue this way. 

A very happy teacher today because of you :)

Massive volcano erupts in Democratic Republic of Congo

A volcanic eruption in Central Africa could be the biggest in 100 years.

Experts say the Nyamulagira volcano in the Democratic Republic of Congo has been shooting lava 400m into the sky.

That's lava shooting up even higher than New York's Empire State Building!

So far there's no danger to the people living in the nearby town of Goma.

Park rangers have even set up a camp so tourists can enjoy the fireworks from a safe distance!

Kenny the specialist will have heard about it. I'm waiting for his comments and for  others.

In your first oral interaction some of you had difficulties to really show their interest in the conversation.  The followowing recording will help you.

Train to ask questions when people tell you about something to show you're interested in what they're saying.

First listen to this. Try to understand it and if it's difficult read the script  there and listen again. Then train to ask questions as in the exemples on the recording.
