English A1 Speaking & Writing #031
Topic: Introducing a colleague, saying a simple role, and writing a short introduction
Lesson overview:
In this lesson, you will practice a very short spoken introduction and a simple written introduction. This is useful in a workplace, class, or group activity. You will say who someone is, say who leads the group, and give a very short description of a role.
Quick review from the last lessons:
- note = short written message
- message = short text
- busy = full of activity; not free
We will keep the speaking and writing style short, clear, and easy.
