Wednesday @ class

Hello everybody!

This morning we had a very interesting lesson (Applied Language Tasks) with Carolyn where we talked about the housing situation in England. In the excercise afterwards we had to pretend being the allocation manager in the Housing department of the local council and then we decided who will get which type of accommodation.

Carolyn gave us a lot of information, for example:

Everybody who wants to have a flat or house from the council, is on a waiting list for six years on average.

Unemployement is no reason to get an accommodation. Vulnarable people or people who are living in an overcrowded flat or house are prioritised.
For this decision it is also important if the children are of the same sex or not. If they are not of the same sex, a seperate room is necessary for every child.

... now we are going to our next lesson: Business English with Rebecca.
