G'day all and welcome to blogging!
For those of you who don't know anything about blogging, ask me for instructions to help you create your own blog. When you have done that, write your first post and tell me a bit about yourself and where you come from. I'll show you how to add links and photos etc.
For those of you who have done blogging before and already have your own blogs, well you can start by writing a recount of what you did during the break.
After that have a look at the previous post and answer the questions on the video clip. It doesn't really check your listening skills more your general understanding of what you see and hear!!
Andrew told me that there were only 2 of you in class last Thurs pm to do the work on Behind the News (BTN). Have a look at the video clip and complete the questions on the sheet I give you. We will be listening to the song in class tomorrow.
If you still have time, check out these exercises and complete the work! The first exercise is a reading task about the internet. Print off the questions and complete the worksheet. This next worksheet is on the grammar of adjectives ending in -ed or -ing. If you still have time you can complete this one too!
Happy blogging!

Week 9
G'day all
I can't believe we're up to the last computer class of the semester! I hope you've enjoyed it! Some of you have been fantastic contributors and added comments and posts regularly to your blogs. Some of you have a 'block' on comments so I haven't been able to say anything on your posts.
Well done to most of you on your presentations last week. I know you were very nervous but you still did a good job! Have a look at Olga's blog to see a slideshow of the day! Thanks Olga
The first activity for today is to send me an email. I'd like you to tell me what your plans for next semester are and also what you liked about this class. (Check the address on the board)
For the last activity today I'd like you to write a recount of the Health Expo. You can also add any photos you have from the day.
After that, open the following worksheet and print it off. Then listen to the podcasts about Floods and Hurricanes and complete the activities. Hand it to me when completed.
I'd like to thank you all for being a great class and to those of you who are leaving us, I'd like to wish you all the best for the future. Don't forget us and come and visit when you can or keep in touch via email or the blog!
Good luck and keep blogging!

Health Expo video and photos
G'day all
Hope you're all enjoying the extra long break this weekend. I know I am!
Here are the videos and photos from last week's Health Expo. Congratulations to you all for a job very well done. Your help was much appreciated. Remember that you will be able to add that to your Resumes as it was volunteer work. You will be able to mention selling raffle tickets, interviewing stall holders or handing out evaluation forms as part of the event.
Have a look at Thomas and Vladimir talking about the raffle tickets
Cindy is seen here describing the food she's bought!
I know that Olga, Susanne and Tatiana were also around and helping out but I seem not to have any photos of them! Does anyone else have photos??

Week 8
G'day all
It's good to be back...I think!!!! I had a great time and enjoyed being with my family. The 'goodbyes' were difficult as usual!
I'm sure you're all finished your research on your short talk topic by now! if not you can finish it up today!
I'm sorry but I'm really, really tired after my long flight so am unable to think straight about today's blog lesson! I don't have anything too hard for you to do!!
To begin today you can complete this reading comprehension on 'which is the hardest language to learn'. Read the text and answer the questions! No cheating!!!
Now listen to this podcast prepared by one of last year's AMEP students and then answer the questions for yourself! Ask me for the ipod to record your opinion and I'll publish it for next week!
On Wednesday, as you know, the Student Association will hold its annual Health Expo. As it's all about healthy lifestyles, try this quiz and see how much you know about heathy eating!
Happy blogging! By the way, remember that there won't be a class next Monday as it's a long weekend! Do you know why?
Some photos from the 2009 Health Expo

How are you getting on? I'm having a great time here with my family. I'll need to go on a diet though when I get back because all I seem to do is eat!!!
The weather has for the most part been surprisingly good! I have even worn a short sleeved T-shirt once or twice!!!
