Why do we choose to text instead of talk?

 Hi Everyone,

Here is an interesting edition of Six Minute English. It is about texting. You know what texting is, right? Communicating by Whatsapp or Messenger for example. The programme asks the question why do we choose to text instead of talk?

Do you like texting, or do you prefer to talk face to face? Tell us in the comment section below!

Here is a link to the programme, I hope you enjoy it!

The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency

Hi Everyone, and especially the Chatterbox class! Here is a link to the opening pages of the novel The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency Have you read it? Read the beginning and see if you like it. It hasn't been modified in any way for learners of English, but it is written in a simple style so it shouldn't be too difficult for higher level students. Perhaps intermediate level students in the Workout class might like to give it a try also?! The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency Chatterboxes, can you read the extract before Wednesday's class? Here are some questions for you to answer while you read- we can discuss the answers in class on Monday.

  Benvinguts i benvingudes al bloc English in Alpens!   Arriba l’estiu i arriba una oportunitat de millorar el vostre nivell d’anglès. Voleu preparar-vos per a passar unes vacances a l’estranger? O tenir més fluïdesa per a la feina? Els vostres fills o filles necessiten classes de reforç o han de treure’s el First abans que acabi l’any? En qualsevol cas, tinc una proposta per a vosaltres. Tot just estic planificant classes semiintensives per als mesos de juliol, agost i setembre. De moment he pensat en quatre classes diferents que podrien ser interessants... 1.    Una classe per a principiants que volen fer un curs intensiu per a poder començar a parlar una mica en les situacions més quotidianes, i entendre també una mica. 2.    Una classe per a estudiants de nivell intermedi que volen fer una classe intensiva per a millorar el seu nivell i fluïdesa notòriament. 3.    Una classe per a gent que vol fer servir l’anglès que ja tenen en un context divertit i real fora de l’aula. 4.    Una
