Will You Be my Valentine?

Valentine's Day is coming up soon, and our class mailbox will be full of love letters by next week! If you haven't written a valentine letter to one of your classmates yet , please do so over the weekend, you can still post it on Monday/Tuesday in class.

Remember it's an anonymous letter, and we all love to hear sweet things, so don't be shy to express those loving feelings for your classmate!

And Why Not Some Vietnamese Food for a Starter?

As a starter to your extra listening practice, why not some Vietnamese food? The link I paste below presents a Vietnamese guy talking about typical dishes from his country, and what they are like. Please, complete the multiple choice questions after listening to him, and then submit your answers so that you can check your performance. 

Listen and complete the multiple choice questions

Thanks a lot, Julia, for this nice suggestion!

PS: I just saw you that you need to click on Vietnamese Food under Explore, on your left-hand side, ok?
