May 18 we had another presential class.
We starting by finding out mistakes in 2 paragraphs. In case you want to review what we did, it can be found at

Next, we prepared for a comparison-and-contrast task, by watching a video on BH of old (1st part) and a video on BH of now (they are given below).
TASK for June 1:
Task for June 1: Essay on “Belo Horizonte now and then”
(use the words while, whereas, although, likewise – and others as used in the 2 exercises given below and done in class).
Watch the videos below and use them to contrast the two BHs.
Give it to me June 1. Try to be creative and get some inspiration to talk about BH!
