Blog post #3 - due Monday, April 24

For today's topic I am combining 2 requests for topics: idioms and technology. This will be a lesson about slang expressions related to technology.

You have listened in class to an  introduction of American slang by JenniferESL. You have also listened to Lesson 8, Part I about technology, and made a list of those expressions. Listen to it again, and answer these questions:

1. Which of these expressions have you heard before? Which have you never heard?
2. Which might you use in the future?
3. In what situations might these expressions be appropriate and inappropriate?

If possible, react to your classmates' comments.

Best,
Diana
