The slow movement: discussion

Hello everyone! Read this story about the man who started the slow movement.

What do you think about it? Would you support this movement? Do you personally live in the fast lane or are you a slow movement follower? Give reasons for your answer.

I personally think life is really short and there are too many things to be done but, at times, you just have to use some time for yourself, to go swimming, to be with your friends. I generally divide my time like this: I work really hard during the week but I devote all my time during weekends relaxing.

Asking for advice

Do you remember we learned the correct way to ask questions in English this week? Well, it is now your turn to show you are doing it right!

Think of a problem you would have (health, relationships, school, family, etc.) Then, state your problem and ask for advice (using wh- questions and yes/no questions).

Ex 1. Hello Doctor, I have a really bad rash. What can I do to make it dissapear?

Ex 2. Dear Alix, I split up with my boyfriend over the phone. My friends say it was really mean from me. Do you think it was OK to split with my boyfriend over the phone or should we see each other to end up the relationship?
