This week’s lesson was at the LanguageLab art gallery. It was a chance to socialise, discuss art and practice expressing opinions in English, all from the comfort of home.
We looked at some paintings by Picasso and Banksy and discussed why we liked or didn’t like them. It was interesting to hear everybody’s ideas about what the paintings meant and how they made them feel. Everyone agreed that they liked both paintings but that they wouldn’t hang either of them up in their houses!
It was a bit hard for people to express their thoughts in English, so I handed out a list of phrases for expressing opinions and agreeing or disagreeing with someone and we tried to say things about the paintings using the words from the list.
Once everyone had the hang of the expressions and felt more comfortable using them we played a bit of a game. The idea was to walk around the gallery and talk about the pictures while using as many of the new expressions as possible.
