Dear Students,
As many of you say in your feedbacks that you lack lessons in General English, we offer you this form of improving your English.
I suggest that you go to the web link "Babies show social intelligence" which is on the right of the blog page.
Read the article. Complete several tasks:
1. Find out what are 3 things that 6month babies can't do yet.
2. What are 2 things they can already do at this age.
3. Explain what "hard-wired" means in this context.
4. In the text find the synonims for the words:
fast
hardly
babies
to differentiate
5. Share your opinions on the topic: "Intelligence development: how much it depends on language and teaching?"
Don't forget to sign in (if you haven't yet) before you post your comment.
To encourage your involment into this and further discussions we are thinking of some rewards for the most enthusiastic and active students.
What it will be like we'll tell you a bit later.
