Transcript

Hello, everyone. Hello! It's nice to see you all here. Welcome to British Life and Language. I am your teacher. My name is Lindsay Black. That's L-I-N-D-S-A-Y Black. Before we begin, some information about the class.

Our class is in room 13, on the first floor. When you go upstairs, turn left to find the room. Again, that's room 13.

We have class twice a week, on Monday and Wednesday. Our class begins at 4.30 p.m. and lasts 90 minutes, so we finish at 6 p.m. That's 4.30 to 6. Please arrive on time, OK?

Also, I have an office hour if you have questions. I'm in office 7B on the second floor. My office hour is Friday at 6 p.m. So, if you have any questions or problems or want to talk to me, it's Friday at 6 p.m. in office 7B.

We begin next week, on March the 13th. That's Monday, March the 13th. The course ends on May the 20th. May the 20th is the last day.

I think that's all ... Oh, one more thing. For this course you need the book. Here it is: British Life and Language Level 1 Student's Book. So, please get a copy of the book. I don't want to see any photocopies of the book, thank you! Remember, it's level 1 student's book. Don't buy the teacher's book.

I think that's all, everyone. I look forward to working with you. See you next Monday!

I had an English course in istanbul for little time. Actually I love to learn English but I don't want to remember those days. Because I had a dispute with course owner.

Actually, I don't have a physical English class. All my classes are online because of the coronavirus pandemic. The schools are closed. And with my online classes, I'm free to choose the time and place of my class at my convenience.

I'm attending an Online English meeting each day. I and my friends make an online meeting and we discuss different topics. This is so helpful for all of us, to exchange our opinion and view of point, and to expand our vocabulary. I found this way to make new friends from different countries, to learn new things, and to improve my English skills. My friends are so friendly and polite, and we improve the part that we aren’t perfect.
