Thursday's Assignment July 28th 2016

So what's between cottages and the city? Have a look at the following video and fill in the blanks below:

"We're on Happy Days now. So, this is Happy Days Houseboats. This boat's called Knot 1, and  this  boat's a 12-person. So we're going to go inside and  take a look at this one. So this is the insides of the 12-person. So it's got a nice seating area there with dinette, TV on the wall ... here's the helm station ... there's a nice comfy couch there."

So, who's going to organize our August/September field trip on a nice Canadian houseboat?

Anyway, moving on, let's start thinking about this coming weekend first.

Here are your tasks:

5,previous.


The Griswalds are back. Like you said, you know the first movie, you know. There’s been four of them previous. There are several home vadio of one before after go on. This is the fifth one and the first one since 1997. And inexplicably this one took two directors to make, I’m not sure why. But anyway.

Wednesday's Assignment

If the first thing that you think of when it comes to Canadian celebrations is John Graves Simcoe, you can jump up and shout Woohoo!

You may already know of Lake Simcoe and Simcoe Street downtown. Well, how about a Simcoe Day, and who really was Simcoe?


What Canadian celebrations are represented above?


Here are your tasks:

1, Look for at least 5 new words about Governor Simcoe here.

governor

slavery

abolition

initiated

coincidence

2. Listen to the story using a free TTS (Text-to-Speech) website online.

http://www.fromtexttospeech.com/

3, Find the meaning of those words.

governor: the person in authority; one's employer
slavery: the state of being under the control of another person
abolition or abolishment: the action or an act of abolishing a system, practice, or institution.

         Canada.
