English in Everyday Life How do we use English in everyday life – reading, writing and speaking & listening?

When we are working in the classroom it is important that we try our best – even if we cannot see how a certain skill will help us. Don’t forget – the more we learn, the more choices we will have as adults.

Speaking and Listening Let’s think of all the skills we learn – how do they help us in everyday life? Reading Writing Speaking and Listening

Reading helps us in so many ways. We thought of; Planning a trip to the cinema Planning a holiday or a day out Cooking a meal – we would have to write and read a shopping list, read the recipe and follow it; turn on the oven and understand all the instructions for that! Read road signs Read texts so we can plan get togethers with friends Write a job application Read addresses so we know where to go and so we can use the Sat Nav. Read labels on paint and wallpaper so we can decorate our rooms and get things that match Be able to speak properly and to learn to listen to others well.

Work hard – you really are worth the effort! Never forget that your learning is for you. We want you to do well so you can have so many exciting choices as a grown up on the job you can do. The more you learn and the more skills you have – the more choices you will give yourself. Be fabulous Work hard – you really are worth the effort!
