What is your opinion about this issue?]]> 2021-09-08 01:34:13 UTC https://padlet.com/huyennguyenthanh148/bdb5wgond79692mx/wish/1723379529 For Ms. Huyen(The Cong) https://padlet.com/huyennguyenthanh148/bdb5wgond79692mx/wish/1723380086 Despite applying CEFR, VIetnamese teachers often make changes based on their learners’ needs or level by adding other elements, which leads to the uncertainty in students’ real ability in comparison with the expected CEFR standard. Do you think it is a good practice? Why (not)?
Thank you.

Subject:  Viet Anh’s leaving party
Hi!

I’m writing because, as you know, Viet Anh is leaving our school and moving to Australia. I was thinking of having a party to say goodbye. Do you think it’s a good idea? 

If so, can you think of a good place to have the party? How about having a party at home?

Would it be best to have it on a weekday or at the weekend?

Also, I’m thinking of hiring a band for the party. Do you know what sort of music Viet Anh likes best?

See you soon!

Minh Anh
