Please find your usual error-correction exercise attached.
Following on from our conversation last lesson about mobile phone addiction, I discovered that China has introduced special walking lanes for people who want to walk and text!: https://www.theguardian.com/world/shortcuts/2014/sep/15/china-mobile-phone-lane-distracted-walking-pedestrians
I looked but I couldn't find the news article that I read ages ago about the assistants paid to escort phone-addicts around their city on foot. - A shame as I wanted to show you!
Homework
This week, I'd like you to watch a video from here - https://www.ted.com/talks - and summarise it in 3 to 5 minutes. You'll be able to find subtitles and there are talks on all manner of subjects so I'm sure you'll find one that interests you - perhaps you'd like to look for music- or animal-related talks (it's totally your choice!).
The most important aspect of your summary is that it's not completely memorised; it's better for it to sound natural and include mistakes than contain no mistakes but sound robot-like! I encourage you not to write a script but to write down a few key points in case you need to refer to them. The point of this homework is to encourage fluency, not accuracy. So please don't worry about it being perfect!
Let me know if you have any questions.
