November Newsletter



Hello again everybody, I hope that you all had a good month. Here at JET we have been keeping busy! Now that summer is finally here I hope you all have a great time and spend as much of it as possible on the beach. Have a great time. John

CHRISTMAS PARTY

Our last pub night was on the 20th of September and as you can see from the photos we had a great time, although I have no idea what some of the people are doing in the pictures! We did not have one this month, as we were a little bit too busy, and needed to recover. However next month we are having a Christmas party on the 22nd of December at the Angel Hotel on Pitt St. It will start as usual at seven O’ clock. If you would like to come please put your name on the list when it goes up. Please come and celebrate the end of term with us.


BOOK OF THE MONTH

Black Beauty by Anna Sewell is a beautiful story about the life of a horse in England a hundred years ago. Then, horses were not treated very well and this book tries to teach people the best way to treat them. The book is written as if the horse is telling the story and it is sometimes funny and sometimes very sad.

STUDY TIPS


Listen to the way the teacher speaks and try to copy it. In English we use our voice a lot to make words stronger or to give emphasis. The more feeling you put into what you say, the more interesting your conversation will be. When you are watching television or a movie or just talking. Listen to which words are emphasised and how they are emphasised. Sometimes we make a word longer and sometimes we give a word a stronger accent. Try using different ways to see what works for you. Remember, everyone is different.
