habits homework

Think about your own habits, good and bad. What should you change?

Speaking: Solo presentation 1:15~1:45 in length
Tell us about a good habit you have or are trying to have. How does it affect your life/ or How can it affect your life? Use at least one image or slide, up to a maximum of 4 slides.

Writing: Write about a good habit you have or are trying to have. How does it affect your life/ or How can it affect your life?

This homework will be taped to the wall of our classroom and you must comment on three other homework pages. This means you must write in a large font (This size is good. So is this!) and leave space for others to add their comments.

Speaking example:

Hello everyone. I found I was sitting at my computer desk too long and eating too many snacks.

Once I got a dog, things improved greatly. I now spend an hour a day - and sometimes more - walking my dog. The walking is good exercise but there are more benefits.
An hour of walking means an hour away from the fridge. An hour out of my computer chair. So it stops me from snacking too much.
I need to walk the dog before I come to university so I always get up early. This bit of organization is good for me. I wake up early everyday so I can walk her.
I don't think I have much stress, but petting and playing with a dog is good for relieving stress.
Thank you.

Most people have good ideas
often. But they forget them.
If you want to have a lot of good ideas,
you must write them down. Or, maybe,
record them on your phone.
I think writing in a book is better than typing
into a computer or speaking
into the audio recorder.
Opening a book, planning what you write,
and adding a diagram or picture helps you
remember.
A good habit is to always carry a notebook with you.

Writing and Speaking homework #2: Exercise. Due week of Sept 25

Speaking classes
During the week of Sept 25, speaking class students will work in teams of 2~3 to teach other students some form of exercise. This teaching presentation will take ~ 1 min/ student.

During the week of Sept 18, students need to announce their team and topic. Be ready with 2+ topics as there can be no repeats.
---
Week of Sept 18 on white board, write your names and topic. First written, first choice.
Week of Sept 25: Teach or explain a form of exercise for 2~4 minutes. Wear clothes appropriate for mild exercise.

Examples of exercises that can be taught: Proper technique for push ups, sit ups, a Tae Kwon Do move for self defence, skipping, a yoga stretch or other yoga move, other stretches, how to throw a ball or frisbee, introduction to juggling, ...
Brian will offer an example during the week of Sept 11.

Based on the Sept 11-15 presentations, the next presentations have two more rules: 1) Presenters must make eye-contact with the audience. 2) They can have notes but must not simply read from them.

Writing classes
Based on homework #1, the next homework should 1) go through spell-check, and 2) students should think about when to use "a" and "the".
During the week of Sept 25, students will hand in  6~60 sentences describing an exercise they do now, or an exercise they did in the past or an exercise they should do in the future.
Brian will offer an example during the week of Sept 11 on this blog.
Note corrections made in homework #1 and improve on them in homework #2.

Brian's exercise this month.


This month I learned Moonhak Pool has water polo training on Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights. Last week I went to a practice. It was very tiring! I swam a lot and threw the ball. I am a great swimmer but not good at throwing things. My shoulders hurt after practice. I will go back next week!

example homework 1 my neighbourhood.png
This is my neighbourhood.
I often walk my dog to the Seungki Creek and look at turtles and birds. For other exercise, I hike the local mountain or swim at the Bak Tae Hwan Pool. I like western food so I shop often at E-mart or Homeplus. Blue Club has the cheapest haircuts and I go there once a month. To drive to JBU, I take Expressway 110.
