To clarify, that is pages 26 and 29 as shown at the bottom of each page. This may be different than the actual PDF page.]]> 2017-04-05 20:17:16 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_love1/bse4o3ncd188/wish/164999819 IELTS TASK michael_love1 https://padlet.com/michael_love1/bse4o3ncd188/wish/165277439

So once you've created an account and you're in, you can choose to create a new video.  

It will ask you to make a title, then it will show you some templates.  I suggest you try "Teach a Lesson"

You should have these slides:
Overview
Concept
Example
Explanation
You Try It
Summary

If you click on one of the slides it will tell you what you should include.

So if you find the time, try to make a short presentation to teach something.  You can record or practice recording what you will say by holding down the red microphone button.  Let me know if you have any questions!]]> 2017-04-13 18:55:24 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_love1/bse4o3ncd188/wish/166312515 Try these exercises in the HR book! michael_love1 https://padlet.com/michael_love1/bse4o3ncd188/wish/166313170 Page 7: Adjectives 1
