2nd Year Writing unit 4a

1st Year Speaking Unit 4a



HOMEWORK:
What is a good, lesser-known place to visit in Korea? Be ready to tell the class - speak for one minute.
You can show pictures if you prepare the computer ahead of class. You do NOT need pictures.

Brian's Example: "Busan's Seokbulsa is a beautiful temple few people know about."





"Take the subway to Mandeok Stn and use Exit 1. Walk along the highway and turn left before the tunnel. The hike will take an hour to get to the temple. You can hike back or go over the mountain to the more famous Peomosa Temple."
