Term 3

Hi all and welcome back to TAFE for term 3. I hope you had an enjoyable break from learning English or did you miss us all?

Welcome to our new classmates and we hope you enjoy learning English with us and having fun too!

For your first blogging task for the term I would like you to look at Rosa's blog and her post dated Sunday 22nd July.

When you have finished those activities, I'd like you to open Time4English and log on. Please go to the MENU on the left hand side of the page and click on Grammar Book. Then go to the exercises on adjectives and adverbs. How many can you get right??

Read Rosa's instructions from numbers 1 to 4. I would like you to follow the links for numbers 1 and 4 and check them out! Rosa has told me that the computer exercises might be a bit hard so if you have difficulty, please let me know! I will give you some questions later to help you.. (but not today)! If you are new to blogging, you might want to read numbers 2 and 3 also!

During our class on Tuesday morning we read about different places in far western New South Wales - places like Dubbo, Wilcannia, Silverton and Broken Hill. I'd like you to Google these places and write 3 interesting facts about them. Post the information on your blog and add a picture too. I'd also like you to look up the link to the Western Plains Zoo and answer the following questions on your blog.


When you open the link to the zoo, click onto the About Us icon to find the information you need.You can spread this work over 2 weeks if you like. Don't forget to incluide a picture or two!



1) What was on the site at Dubbo before it became the Western Plains Zoo?

2) When did the zoo open to the public?

3) How many animals were in the zoo when it first opened?

4) The zoo is an open-range design. What does this mean?

5) What else is Western Plains Zoo apart from animal displays?

Happy Blogging!
