Introductions

Suzanne

Hello!  I'm your class teacher and I'm really delighted to be working with you all this term.  
I'm not going to give you any information about myself here, but you are welcome to ask any appropriate* questions in the comments section at the bottom of this post (you might want to ask me about my family, my home, work, hobbies and interests).  

Task 1
I have a question for you, which you can answer in the comments section:
* appropriate - what does this mean here?

to leave a comment, just click on the pencil icon below, write your comment and click "post"

Task 2
Ask me 2 questions about my life. 
If you have asked an appropriate question and used a correct question form, I will be happy to answer it.  If you have not formed the question correctly, I will ask your fellow students to suggest the correct form.

    1. Addullah - think about the tense you have used in your first question. Which tense should this question be asked in and why?
      As for your second question..... that's really difficult to answer. I need to think about that one. What is your goal in life?

    1. does success change people and how ?

      Delete
    2. Well corrected! Good questions too!
      Actually, I did study abroad when I was much younger and it was a terrific opportunity, so I think you have made an excellent decision.
      I'm not sure I'm qualified to answer your second question - it's best to put that to a class debate. I've certainly witnessed success changing people - sometimes for better, sometimes for worse.

    1. As stated above, I will not answer any questions that are not appropriate. You need to think about how you address a teacher. I also suggest you look up the word "impertinent".
