Here is the lesson that I gave you in class to help you write a story. Follow the guidelines to do your homework: choose one of the headlines and write a story yourself. Then, if you send me your mail and you are a blogger already, you can publish your story on the blog if you want.
Cheers!

Hi, everyone!
Welcome to your blog! I've finally set it up. As you already know, we'll use it as a way to supplement our lessons. I hope it helps you improve your English skills!
To start with, I noticed some of you didn't know what a podcast is. Here is a video that explains it and if you look at the right of the page, under "English Online Resources", you'll find many sites where you can download podcasts. I highly recommend that you start using them, they're fun!
That's all for now...
