Recession
Busters
On the
English-to-go website this month we have lessons to get students
talking and thinking about the recession, its implications and how to
survive it.
In 'Getting Smashed',
a Pre-Intermediate lesson, students read about a business
that helps people release their frustrations about the
recession: they can pay to smash as many plates
as they like while the Advanced lesson, 'The Personal
Touch For Survival' looks at businesses who are succeeding
during the recession and how they are doing it.
As the festive season starts, your Intermediate students
will enjoy doing 'Work Dos' to find out why most
workers hate the annual Christmas party. The followup
activities include selecting and plan a social event for
a business during a touch economic time.
'Try Wrapping This' for Upper Intermediate students
has suggestions from the latest Neiman Marcus Christmas
catalog for outrageous presents, '"The whole purpose
of these fantasy gifts is to make people smile," says
a Neiman Marcus spokeswoman.'
And don't forget to check out the featured lessons
with a Christmas resources theme.

This month's Point of Interest

This month’s Point of Interest is
from 'Getting Smashed', a Pre-Intermediate Instant
Lesson.
 'Insurance broker
Adam DeWitt came with his wife for his birthday
and took out their anger about not being able to
buy a first home because the banks have frozen lending.
"It was the best $50 we've spent in the last two years, better than
filling up your tank with gas, better than paying interest on your
credit card," said DeWitt, 29...
The DeWitts plugged in some music by Guns n Roses, wrote the names of
banks and politicians they don't like on plates and smashed away.
"Oh boy, we smashed some plates, a couple of TV trays, some cups and
mugs. My wife smashed some glass flowers," said DeWitt.'
