Fashion - The Everyday and the Extreme

Hello friends.

Next week we're talking about fashion, so my writing topic for you today is to write about your thoughts on both everyday and more extreme fashion.

First, search the internet for some photos of fashion that appeals to you, or doesn't appeal to you. Post the photos to your blog and write about them. Choose several examples of both everyday fashion and more extreme fashion.

Then comment on your classmates' blogs.

Enjoy!

Do We Speak Different Languages?

Hello friends,

Today's topic is to explain and give examples of the way men and women speak in your languages.

Are there differences in their communication styles? How so?

Does your language make communication differences more or less noticeable than they are in English?

How can men and women work to overcome these differences and understand each other better?

Post your ideas on your blog, and comment on your classmates' writing.

Enjoy.
