Today is International Women's Day. Do you think it is necessary to have a special women's day? Do you like being a woman? Are you glad you are a man? 
We finished unit 5A on school days. Most of us still have vivid memories of when we were at school. We mentioned friendship as a good memory and travelling to and from school as a bad memory. We also talked a bit about the differences between now and when we were at school. 
Next week will be our last session of this series. we will try to finish unit 5B then. Please prepare activity 3A and 3B of that unit at home.

Luck by Mark Twain can be listened to here.
We finished unit 4 by correcting the homework you did in the self-study section on page 101. I then handed out the vocabulary list with unit 4, which can also be found here. You can import this list, and the other Let's Talk 3 vocabulary lists I made before, to your own personal account you can create at wrts. How to import lists to your own account and answers to other FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) can be seen here. We read the vocabulary list together to mark the stress in each word. This helps with pronouncing them correctly. 
We then started unit 5 about Education and learning with 5A called School days We finished the session by reading the first page of Mark Twain's story Luck.
