Discussion & Lexis
Sally Hargreaves has kindly shared this discussion activity, which is seeded with chunks from the quiz (highlighted in this colour) and which includes some additional chunks (highlighted in orange). This activity can be used to provide an additional encounter with the target lexical items, which, combined with the highlighting - a kind of input enhancement - increases the chances of their acquisition (Szudarski & Carter 2016). I've adapted the same idea for the intermediate level.

ReplyDeleteHips are in, the curvaceous figure is back in style and wide hips are what it's all about, so read on, were going to give you some ideas on what kind of bikini looks best for women with wider hips.
ReplyDeleteA woman with a thicker torso has more options believe it or not when it comes to bikinis than a skinny torso, the reason for this is that fashion styles are changing and the movement in the fashion industry is a heavier, healthier look.
One of our favorites when it comes to bikinis for wide hips is the scoop front bikini. The scoop front style of bikini bottoms does two things, it elongates and smooth's the torso and the scoop front tends to give depth and further elongate the mid-section from the frontal view. For these two reasons, the scoop front bikini is by far our favorite recommendation when it comes to bikinis for wide hips. This scoop front bikini bottom will smooth and accentuate your curves and give your torso that perfect bikini look.
