Antarctica

Very soon , we will be talking to an expert on penguins who lives in the Antarctica for three months every year to do research.

 

We will work on this with Liliana and María José. And just to get ready, I show you a Powerpoint Presentation on Antarctica. It is multilingual and you will learn how to say some words in many languages. Do you find any of them similar to Spanish?

and I show you this link so that you get to know what Jane Cook is going to speak about.

we will do a webcast in which you will hear Jane's presentation in very simple English and then you will have to write a report on it.
