Today is the first class in your new four-class set. We will begin class with a conversation. Our listening material is about Success Academy from a podcast called Startup.

For Success Academy please write a short response to the episode. I want you to answer this question. Do you have a problem with teachers and schools who focus so much on test taking? What type of methods do you think are acceptable for motivating students? What are unacceptable? You don’t need to follow your AWA style- just write what you feel and try to be convincing.

Please submit your practice AWA writing, and I will cover more about the speaking test.
