We watched a video in class!

The FCE and IELTS preparation students watched a video in class this week about the 'Bodies - The Exhibition' .

Watching the video inspired us to speak! What did we discuss? Different kinds of exhibitions, local exhibitions and museums, exhibits, the ways people learn, organ donation, blood donation, the morality of using human bodies for science and for the exhibition, our reactions to the video. We also listed many of the adjectives that we heard on the video.

For more information about the exhibit you can visit the website: Bodies - The Exhibition
