Week 2 Becoming a science student

LESSON OBJECTIVES
Being able to talk about the structure of MUNI and my Faculty

ASSIGNMENT FOR WEEK 3

Watch one of the two videos about A day in the life of a Cambridge/Oxford student (if we haven’t done so in class). Complete the listening comprehension exercise and do the vocabulary work. Prepare a similar talk (about 3 minutes) about your day as a life science student at MUNI. Just like the students in the video, you don’t have to include only the time you spend at school - feel free to talk talk about your daily routine (what you do in the morning, at lunchtime and in the evening) and your interests.

Make sure that you use some expressions related to studying you encountered in one of the two videos.
