A Tale of 3 Cities


On Wednesday 26th February Secondary students attended a cultural lecture in English called “A Tale of 3 Cities” given by Macmillan and organized by the English department.

The teacher talked about English speaking countries and specifically about three cities: New York, Dublin and Liverpool. He explained why these cities are famous, mentioned important landmarks and places to visit and he talked about famous people from there. He also showed pictures and videos, as well as expressions and curiosities from each of these cities.














 
The lecture was very entertaining and the teacher engaged the students making them questions and guessing games. And the best of all, we enjoyed and shared the importance of learning English.





Some expressions we learned:
 I’ll mug you, 
I’m skint, 
Yer gorra cob on o
A New York minute.
Do you remember their meaning?

    This was an awesome way of spending an English class. We learnt new things about those three cities and interesting key facts. What I enjoyed the most is when he made us remember the order of appearance of the different NYC landmarks and the expressions, which I found really useful.

    I hope there's a new event like this soon.

  35. The talk was very entertaining and lively.The man who spoke to us was quite friendly and the vocabulary he used was simple enough so most of the people understood the topic of conversation and more encouraged to participate. It would be nice to repeat it with another subject for example: The Amish.
