HOMEWORK

 As I told you in class, I'd like you to work on an oral presentation about a person you admire. I recommend that you talk about somebody you know very well, since you have to give details about him or her.

 You can use the worksheet A PERSON I ADMIRE to plan and organise what you're going to tell your partner next Tuesday.

It shouldn't be longer than 3 minutes, and please, don't write a composition, just take notes to help you remember all the points you want to mention.
Rehearse your presentation and record yourself, so you can check you sound fine;)
