To learn your vocabulary, look at the images of our workshops and try to remember the English word. Check
whether you are right by rolling over the picture with your mouse. By clicking on the speaker symbols you get an
audio file to learn the correct pronunciation. Audio Introduction: Your tasks:
1) Produce a workshop report for an English broadcasting company: They want to introduce the
apprenticeships young people can do in our region in their main radio programme on Europe. You have been
asked to do a report on your typical day in the workshop. Prepare your text by using the new words, and then use
the podcast programme "Audacity" for recording your report. Add some music you find suitable. You can also do an
interview with one of the teachers. Ask them to do it in English, or translate their German statements into English.
Put your mp3 file into the Glass Classroom. If you don't know Audacity yet, here you can get help: tips how to
