Hey,

today we started the class with a few minutes from the movie "Cry Freedom" about Apartheid in South Africa. Here is what we said about the extract as a warm up:

Apartheid in South Africa
[teit] / [tait]

It's a period of segregation in South Africa when Blacks were separated from the Whites.
In the video, there are two men (1 black man, 1 white man) who are speaking about the differences in the conditions of Blacks and Whites. The black man has created a special hospital for Blacks and Mr. Woods is criticizing him. He says he is racist.

Vocab: segragation (US), apartheid (S. Africa), a black township (bidonville)

Then we continued the class with the correction of some important grammar points in your essays and with group 2 we had time to write a short introduction to the question. Here are both the grammar explanations and the introduction:
