Good afternoon! Welcome to the third term!. Are you excited about these last units?. I sure am!. This unit is one of my favourite topics. Today we were talking about ecology and eco-friendly houses and listened to the beginning of the story of Mairi. Here is the text we listened to, complete with pictures!. I also included a few questions so you can review the contents and study the new vocabulary. This is Mairi, she's a Scottish girl. Her name sounds like Mary but it is actually spelled M.A.I.R.I, which is actually the Scottish form of Mary. Mairi and her family live in Glasgow, Scotland, where she goes to school.

You can also read the interview and its solution. Yoshiro Kimura is 20 years old. He works in am office for a very big video-game company. He has good friends there, but he cannot be creative at his job. The truth is that he has to make games about fighting and conflict. He has decided he is going to leave the company and travel the world for two years. After he leaves the company he first decides where is going to go.
